Baking, baking, and MORE baking!
I was feeling REALLY productive today for some reason...so I went on a baking spree and had lots of fun. Here is what I made:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't have a picture of these, but I used this recipe. I doubled the recipe and made 3 loaves out of it. It turned out great!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I couldn't believe how easy these were to make! I got 15 pretty good sized English muffins out of this recipe. I think next time I'll double it so I have more to freeze! Here is the recipe:
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 cups flour (I used 1/2 white 1/2 whole wheat)
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 3 Tbs. butter, melted
- Cornmeal
Mix together the water, milk, honey and salt. Add 2 cups of flour and the yeast; mix well. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.
Add the butter and the remainder of the flour. On a surface sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into circles. Let rise until doubled.Cook on a hot (about 350 degrees), well buttered griddle until they are light brown, turning once while cooking.
Cool and then store in a tight container or freeze. These easily cut in half or break open with a fork. Enjoy!
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4-4/12 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon gluten
- 1 Tablespoon yeast
I mixed the above ingredients in my heavy duty mixer and then kneaded with the dough hook for about 8 minutes. Remove dough and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in warm place for about an hour. Shape into rolls (I made 9 large hamburger buns, but you can make smaller dinner rolls if you wish). For hamburger buns, place on greased cookie sheet and flatten with palm of hand. Cover with a towel and let rise in warm place for about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until browned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I mixed a batch of these up for the kids for snacks. They LOVE these and they are so easy to make! Here is the recipe:
- 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter (or chunky if you like)
- 3/4 cup powdered milk
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup raw honey
