How to Make Old Fashion Bread

How To Make Old Fashion Bread

If you are a bread lover, then you will want to make this bread. It is a type of bread that reminds one of the bread made in old fashion brick ovens many years ago. This bread is firm but has a very good taste. Serve it hot with butter and jams.

Bread Pan

The following recipe will make six loaves. If you want only two loaves, just divide the recipe by three:

4 ½ pounds all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup oil
½ pound sugar
1 ounce dry yeast
6 cups warm water

Use a stainless steel bowl to place your yeast in. Add the two tablespoons of sugar and cup of warm water. Let the yeast work. Once the yeast starts to rise you will know that your bread is going to rise okay.

In a large mixing bowl place the flour, salt, remaining sugar, oil, bowl of yeast mixture and five cups of warm water. Mix it all on low speed, with a mixer that has a dough hook, until blended well. Adjust the mixer to medium speed for four more minutes. The dough should show the right consistency at this point. If it is too dry, just add a little more water and mix for another minute.

Once your dough has been mixed properly, divide it into 24 ounce round, tight balls. Let them stand for five minutes on a table. While waiting, grease your bread pans. Take each ball of dough and flatten it to remove any air. Fold the bottom portion of the flattened dough up to the middle and do the same to the top portion. Press it down and fold in half so that it is in the shape of a hoagie bun. Place in the greased bread pan with the seam on the bottom and let it sit and rise under a towel until it has doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When they are ready, place all the loaves of bread in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Rotate the bread pans and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Let cool and enjoy!

How Long to Cook Chicken Wings

People really love to eat chicken wings. There are so many ways to prepare chicken wings and they make fantastic appetizers and party foods. One of the questions I am often asked is, "How long to cook chicken wings".

Chicken wings can be cooked using several different methods. I prefer deep frying wings but you can also pan fry your wings or bake them. Let's take a look at each method and you can decide for yourself which method is best for you.

Bread Pan

Before you cook your chicken wings you will need to make sure they are completely thawed. This can be accomplished by letting them sit in the refrigerator for a day or two before cooking. When you are ready to cook your wings, rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

If you will be deep frying your chicken wings be sure they are dry before placing them in the hot oil to avoid painful splatters. Heat your oil to 375 degrees. Once the oil is hot you can begin cooking your wings. Fill the fryer basket with a single layer of wings. You want the oil to just cover the wings when lowered into the oil. Lower the wings into the oil slowly and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. This will make a nicely browned chicken wing that is crispy on the outside and juicy and tender inside.

You may also opt to pan fry your wings if you do not have a deep fryer. This would be my second choice. Use a large frying pan for this method. Pour enough oil in the pan to cover the bottom. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot place your wings in a single layer into the hot oil. Cook the wings for 6 to 7 minutes and then turn them over to cook for another 6 to 7 minutes. You could also use a wok to fry your wings. This will also make a nice crispy outside and tender inside.

My least favorite method of cooking chicken wings is to bake them. Baking them is a much healthier alternative to all of the frying but the wings will not be nearly as crispy. However if you need to bake your wings heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the wings in a glass baking dish that has been coated with a little non-stick cooking spray. Bake the wings for about 30 to 40 minutes. You want to be sure the juices run clear from the wings.

Well there you go three methods to cook chicken wings. Always remember to wash your hands and all utensils when working with raw chicken. Enjoy those tasty little treats.

Monkey bread is sinfully easy to make. It only requires 5 ingredients, and takes almost no time. If you have never experienced monkey bread, make it today!

Bread Pan

4 cans of regular sized biscuits

1 1/2 sticks of butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

3 tbsp cinnamon

To Make the Monkey Bread:

Grease a bunt or tube pan. In a ziploc bag mix together the sugar and cinnamon.

Cut the biscuits into halves and quarters, shake in the cinnamon sugar, and layer in the pan. Continue this process until you have cut up and sugar-coated the biscuits.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.

Melt the butter and brown sugar, boil for a few minutes (or until it starts to darken slightly) then pour over the biscuits.

Bake for 20-30 minutes.

Let the pan cool down for 10-15 minutes before you flip it on to a plate!

The Final Result: Butter and sugar bliss!

The bottom (top when you pull it out of the oven) is chewy and crispy.

But, when you flip it out of the pan it looks even more amazing. The caramel sauce runs down the sides and you can see how it perfectly caramelized the top of the bread.

Next time: I want to layer in some dried cherries and macadamia nuts.

Zojirushi BBCCX20 Bread Machine Review

The Zojirushi BBCCX20 has basically all the things you would need to make the perfect home baked bread. It comes with a very user friendly digital control panel which is home to several preprogrammed settings. It also offers the helpful component of being able to customize your preferred setting. It also maintains a memory function which can store upwards of three favorite recipes at the same time. There are additional options available for making cakes, jams and possible a meatloaf if one wishes. Upon preparing bread, you can also add your particular crust along with multiple level crust control.

Those with time constraints to deal with will find the Zojirushi BBCCX20 helpful since it maintains a 2-hour cycle option designed to quick bakes the bread. There is also a 13 hour time that can be programmed rather easily. This way, it is possible to wake up early to great fresh bread for breakfast time. Unlike common bread processors, the Zojirushi BBCCX20 is equipped with its own 2lb horizontal pan. This is an exceptional size and it offers dual kneading paddles. They certainly can allow for the proper mixing of ingredients. It can also make a complete loaf of bread rather than a smaller loaf which is common among most home bread makers.

Bread Pan

The counter space required for the Zojuirushi BBCCX20 is around 17 x 12 x 9 to make sure there is proper room. The body is made up of solid plastic while the motor is built with solid, powerful kneading tools for the most complex dough mixtures. It can also last for years. Such a wonderful bread maker provides a manual, recipe guide, one year limited warranty, and a helpful instructional video for those wishing to learn some basics of baking.

Such a solid home bread bakery can do many things. Yet, there are some things that will always need to be done by hand. Case in point, when you make a specialty loaf of bread such as raisin nut or banana bread, you will need to add the raisins, nuts, etc right after the initial kneading process. A constant 15 second tone will let you know when you have to add the extras. Some may assume this function is time consuming and the alert is annoying but others do not seem to mind.

The Zojirushi BBCCX20 owner reviews generally refer to the greatness of the dual kneading paddles. The larger loaf pan can produce some truly amazing large loaves of fresh bread without sticking to the pan. And its powerful motor can tackle any and all types of dough. Plus these models are built to last!

Regardless of the type of bread you choose to make and regardless of the ingredients one opts to use, the Zojirushi BBCCX20 Bread Machine is the perfect choice. You can let your imagination flow and allow yourself to make a special cake, meatloaf, or any other recipe you would be interested in making. The end result could prove to be something quite amazing.

How to Make a Basic Bread Dough That Has Many Options

This is a basic bread dough that has many uses. This is a buttery-flavored dough that you will decide is a basic in your house. Use this dough to make a basic loaf, dinner pan rolls and herb-cheese bread.

1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/2 cup warm milk " " "
1/4 cup Butter Flavored Crisco Shortening
1 egg
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

Bread Pan

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and water. To the mixture, add the milk, shortening, egg, sugar, salt and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat on low speed of an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Gradually mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

On a well-floured board or flat surface, knead dough for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Add additional flour to the board as needed during the kneading process. Shape the kneaded dough into a ball. Place in a greased bowl and turn dough over completely. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough and form into desired shape. (When making the dinner rolls, you may omit the kneading if you wish.)

TO MAKE A BASIC LOAF: Form into a loaf. Place in a well greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 1 loaf

TO MAKE PAN ROLLS: Thoroughly grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Divide dough into twenty pieces and shape pieces into balls. Place the balls in the prepared pan. Cover again with a kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to an hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush tops of rolls with melted Butter Flavor Crisco. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan while warm. Yield: 20 rolls.

TO MAKE HERB CHEESE BREAD: 1 recipe of the basic dough above, 1 to 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves or dill weed, 1 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese. Mix the herbs and cheese into the dough with the last addition of the flour according to the main recipe. After kneading, shape the dough into a round shape. Place in a well-greased 1-quart round casserole dish. Turn dough over. Using a sharp knife, slash an X in the center of the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. This variation only lets dough rise once. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a deep golden brown.

Enjoy!

Western Costumes for Square Dance

Spin your partner round and round! It's time to get your dosey-doe on because November 29th is officially Square Dance Day. This festive type of folk dance was brought to the United Sates by English, Scottish and Irish settlers and is so ingrained in early American culture that is has been named the official state dance of 19 states. There are many variations on the traditional square dance but one of the common threads are the threads - these costumes are colorful and look great while spinning around.

When you hear the caller yelling out dance moves to the beat, you want to look the part from the very start. Wearing a square dance costume shows that you are committed to kicking your heels up even when, especially when, "the chicken's in the bread pan kickin' up dough!" Modern square dance costumes rose to popularity after World War II throughout the 1960s and were immortalized in western movies and early television. Today, fans love vintage and reproduction square dance costumes from this era because they bring back the nostalgic entertainment of simpler times.

Bread Pan

A men's western-style dance costume can feature a long-sleeved western shirt with fancy embroidery and snaps, dress trousers, a scar or bolo tie around the neck and cowboy boots. The gals have much more stylized costumes that feature circle skirts with matching blouses that are often made from prairie-inspired prints such as gingham, calico, or polka dots that have gone over the top with sequins and beading. Multiple layers of petticoats are worn under the skirt to give the look lots of flounce as the wearer promenades around. The ladies can wear boots or high-heel dance shoes. In square dance, it is actually cool for the partners to coordinate the look of their western costumes.

Banana bread first made it's way in to cookbooks in the 1930's. Shopkeepers and grocers would have recipes available for shoppers when they had too ripe fruit on their shelved to try to make a sale for the product before it hit the trash bin. With the resurgence of home baking in the 1960's it regained the popularity it once had. Unlike some other recipes it was straight forward and required very little skill to create.

Pan Bagnat - The Ultimate Summer Sandwich

If you haven't had a pan bagnat before, you're in for a treat. Bite into the soft luscious filling and you'll see what I mean. If ever a sandwich was lip smackingly juicy, this one is it. I've even heard pan bagnat described as a big wet sandwich which sounds awful and certainly doesn't do it the justice it deserves.

The actual French translation is bathed bread which gives you a clue what to expect. Basically you're looking at a large hollowed-out loaf with a layered filling (see below) that's drenched in a Mediterranean olive oil dressing.

Bread Pan

You can load it up with pretty much anything. Popular fillings in France include salad nicoise, salami and ham. Vegetarian options include goats cheese and artichokes.

What ever filling you decide upon, the resulting sandwich is likely to be a hit. I've been making Pan Bagnats for years and don't know a single person who doesn't like them. I shall be making pan bagnas all summer long as my kids love them and they're pretty economical too. But besides filling up ravenous teenagers Pan Bagnats make a great addition to picnics because they won't dry out or curl up like normal sandwiches have a tendency to do.

PAN BAGNAT RECIPE

For authenticity I'm using cheese and ham from Provence France in this recipe, but you can get just as good results using local produce from your area.

Ingredients:

1 large rustic loaf
100g Tomme de Savoie
50g Bayonne ham
handful lettuce leaves
3 -4 vine ripened tomatoes

Mediterranean Dressing:
3 heaped tbsp pitted olives (black or green)
1 tbsp capers
2 cloves garlic
1 pickled gherkin
1 handful parsley
100ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
Freshly ground salt and black pepper

Equipment:

Food processor
Bread knife and chopping board
Heavy book or other weight
Cheese grater
Cling film

Here's What You Do:

Make up the Mediterranean dressing by placing all the ingredients in the food processor and blitzing to a sloppy, chunky paste.

Grate the cheese and slice the tomatoes (discarding the end pieces).

Cut the loaf and dig out the doughy part then spread spoonfuls of the dressing over each half, liberally coating all parts of the bread.

Take each half and layer with tomato slices, lettuce, ham and grated cheese, liberally spooning over the dressing.

Now carefully clamp both halves firmly together.

Roll out a length of cling film and wrap the bread tightly with several layers.

Put the bread in the fridge and cover with a heavy weight, (I use a massive book that weighs a ton) but anything heavy that covers the bread will do and leave to compress for a minimum of 4 hours, (for best results leave overnight) and turn it over occasionally so the oil can work evenly through the bread.

Cut into think slices and serve.

Papa's Buttermilk Bread - Pull-Apart Rolls and Pizza Dough

This dough makes great bread, rolls or even pizza. For pizza, just shape on a pizza pan or in a baking pan for a deep-dish pizza, add the sauce (Boboli packaged is good), then the cheese or whatever other toppings you want to add. Great!

Note: I created this recipe for use with my KitchenAid mixer. If you don't have a mixer, you can accomplish the same results by hand.

Bread Pan

30 ROLLS (OR 2 LOAVES)

5-1/2 cups bread or all-purpose flour

4 rounded tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 packages of fast-acting dry yeast

1-1/2 cup water

3/4 cup buttermilk (plus 1 T. for small batch, 2 for large)

2 tablespoons olive oil (use light or regular)

1 beaten egg, for brushing rolls

3 tablespoons sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place the first five ingredients, except 2 cups of the flour, in the Kitchen-Aide pot and attach the flat blade. Turn the mixer on to speed 1 to blend the ingredients and let it run while you do step 2.

2. Put the water, buttermilk and olive oil in a 2-cup measuring cup and heat to 125°-130° in the microwave (about 1 minute 40 seconds). Add to the pot and beat on 4 for 1 minute.

3. Attach the dough hook, turn on 2, add the rest of the flour immediately and knead for 8 minutes.

4. Cover the pot with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for 35 minutes, or until doubled in size, in a warm place (an oven warmed to 100° with light on works well). Punch the dough down and place on a flat surface to shape.

5. For pull-apart rolls, use 2-9"x12½" non-stick pans with high rims (such as a cornbread pan), lightly oiled. Cut the dough into 30 even pieces (or make larger loaves of any shape if you desire). Place them in the pans making 3 rows of 5 each.

Cover them loosely with wax paper and let rise in a warm place for another 25-35 minutes. They should be nicely raised and puffy looking.

6. Brush the rolls with egg.

7. If you like, sprinkle the rolls (or bread) with sesame or poppy seeds. Place them in a 350° oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are browned.

Remove them from the pans and place them on wire racks to cool.

Bread Machine Tips

What's better than baking healthy, tasty loaves for family and friends? Baking made easy with a bread machine! Now obviously with a little know how, you can do this by hand. However, after a while it does become a lot of work every week. Especially if your family consumes several loaves per week. A bread machine can be one of the best investments that you can make. A good bread maker doesn't cost a lot and it can save you loads of time. Once you have decided on a machine, there are a few tips that will help with your baking.

Tips:
1. Get to know your machine - Make sure that you learn about your bread machines features on day one. You should become very familiar with it. You do this by kicking the tires sorta speak. Review the owner's manual, observe how the machine opens and closes etc... Make sure that you know where its functions are on the control panel.

Bread Pan

2. Determine your machines capacity - Look for your bread pan's capacity in the owner's manual. You can also test it yourself. I suggest performing your own rough calculations, using a measuring cup to fill up your bread pan with water. Add one cup of water to your bread pan until it appears to be full. Remember for a 1 1/2 pound bread pan it should take a little less than 10 full cups of water. You should be able to fill up a 2 pound bread pan with about 12 cups.

3. Learn your Bread Machine Settings - Now the first time you do this, make sure that you have your instruction manual handy. You will be amazed by the different things that your new machine can do and hence its settings. At minimum make sure that you cover the basics such as the Start/Stop, the cycles and the timing functions.

4. Ingredients - Now this is where things really start to get serious. Whether you are using a family recipe, a recipe from a cookbook or one from online, the ingredients determine your success or failure. As you know the basic ingredients are flour, butter, salt, sugar, yeast and water. When utilizing a recipe from online or a family recipe, you must remember to adjust your ingredients accordingly. Was your recipe for a 1 1/2 pound loaf or a 2 pound loaf? Any adjustments that you make should contain ingredients that are in the same proportion as your original recipe. Your owner's manual should have a few recipes for comparison also. The ingredient amounts are very important so be prepared to devote a little extra time in this area.

There are many bread making machines on the market. For the most part, they all do the same thing. What determines how well your loaves come out depends mostly on the items mentioned above. The proper care of your bread maker and the proper preparation of your bread should allow you and your family to enjoy tasty loaves for many years to come. Let's bake something fresh tonight!

Cottage Cheese Bread From A Bread Machine

Bread machines are crazy popular during the holiday rush. They make great gifts for busy people. Want fresh bread without having to get into the mess of playing with flour? A bread machine is your answer. All you do is measure ingredients and a few hours later some back to hot, fresh bread.

Recipes for making bread with a bread machine all have some basic ingredients, like flour, water, sugar and salt. Beyond the basic ingredients each recipe has its own variation. Special ingredients can be added for taste and texture. Other ingredients are added to lend color or softness to the loaf of bread.

Bread Pan

Dairy products are often added to the dough to make the bread soft and fresh with a great aroma. Cheese cubes or shredded cheese can be added just before the kneading cycle is finished. That way the cheese is incorporated into the dough thoroughly, yet individual pieces of cheese are detected in the finished product. Most bread makers have an audible alarm near the end of the kneading cycle to alert you of the time to add the special ingredients.

Other dairy products are added in the mixing pan at the start. Milk can be substituted for the water called for in the bread recipe. Use the same quantity of milk as the recipe calls for water. Milk improves the taste of the bread and gives the crust a shine. When a delay cycle is used to make bread at a later time, dried milk should be added to the dry ingredients instead of using fresh milk. Instead of using a cup of fresh milk, use a cup of water and add a tablespoon of dried milk to the dry ingredients.

Cottage cheese or sour cream are used in bread machine recipes to give the bread softness and taste. Improved taste and texture are the marks of a good recipe that will be used again and again. Try substituting ¼ to ½ a cup of cottage cheese or sour cream for the same amount of water in your recipe.

To make cottage cheese bread measure the following ingredients into the mixing pan of your bread machine in the order given, and run a light bread cycle: ¾ cup tap water, 1 large egg, ½ cup cottage cheese, 3 cups bread flour, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoons dry yeast. This recipe makes a large two-pound loaf of delicious, moist bread. For best results the tap water should be cold.

Finding bread machines online has never been more easier, except maybe which one to choose for your families needs. Here are some basic tips in finding the right one for you.

Most store bought bread these days comes in one and a half to two pound loafs, so the first tip is look for a bread machine with a two pound capacity. There really isn't a good reason to make bread size less than a two pound loaf. Also it is nice to have a bread maker with at least 8 different settings. Some of your best choices for settings are: Basic, Whole Wheat, French, Sweet and Express bake.

Bread Pan

Easy Bread Machine Pizza Dough

Making pizza at home is easy if you have the right tools and you'd be surprised how few tools you need. The dough is typically the part most people think is difficult to make but my 15 year old son who has no time is able to make is own pizza every night.

The only piece of "special" equipment you need is a bread machine with a dough setting. We had one sitting around from the home bread making craze a few years ago. The first thing you are going to need are the ingredients. Simple bread ingredients are all that is needed.
3 1/2 cups of flour (Bread flour for a slightly chewier crust.) 2 tablespoons of yeast (Normal yeast, not fast acting yeast.) 2 table spoons of honey (I add 3-4 tablespoons for a sweeter dough) 1/4 cup olive oil (This adds a lot of flavor.) 1/2 teaspoon salt (Don't skip this.) 1 cup warm water (Around 100 degrees.) Any other flavorings (I put Italian seasoning, 1 table spoon, garlic powder, onions, ETC.)Place all the ingredients into the bread machine and set it to the dough setting. This is the only part that takes some time. My machine runs an hour and a half and only needs to be checked once after 20 minutes or so to make sure the dough doesn't climb the side.

Bread Pan

Once the dough is done, spread flour over a large cutting board or a clean table. First divide up the dough because this is just a huge amount of dough to work with. One recipe makes 2 large regular pizzas or 1 large pan style pizza.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Roll away from you then turn the dough a quarter turn and roll again. Continue doing this until the dough is 1/4 inch thick for regular pizza or 1/2 inch for thick pan style.

Now you have inexpensive and tasty pizza dough waiting for your toppings. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minute then check on it regularly until the crust is a golden brown.

Baking Bread and the Weather

Homemade bread baking in the oven has the most wonderful scent in the world to it. More and more people are discovering that baking bread is not as difficult as it looks. However, the weather does make or flop homemade bread made from scratch.

If the weather is too cold and damp your bread will not rise properly so before you even begin to make and bake your bread. You need to make sure your kitchen is nice and warm. About one hour or two before you begin your bread turn up the heat in your home. If you do not want to warm the entire house then you can set your oven to warm and leave the oven door cracked just a bit.

Bread Pan

Then once the kitchen warms up enough prepare your bread ingredients and make sure that, your water and milk are warm. Put the warm water and milk together and add your sugar. The warm water, milk, and sugar are what activate the yeast and the yeast is what makes the bread rise.

Combine all of your ingredients and then let the bread dough sit and rise on the top of your stove with the oven door still open and the oven on warm. If it does not seem to be rising, as it should there is a trick that you can use to help the bread rise.

Take a large pan of warm or mildly hot water and place it on the bottom rack of the oven. Place your bread pans with the dough in them on the top rack and let the dough rise in the oven with the door open. This is only after your dough has risen the first time and been placed into the loaf pans to rise again ready to be cook.

When your dough has risen the last time, it is then ready to cook and it is already in the oven set your timer for twenty minutes and let the bread fill the house with that wonderful smell of fresh baked bread. Remove the pan of water before baking the bread. Take the bread out after it bakes and remove it from the loaf pans. Let the bread cool before cutting. An electric knife is the best kitchen gadget to slice through the bread quick and easy.

You are, done baking bread and the weather does not have to be a challenge is it simple and easy and your homemade bread will turn out right even in bad weather.

More Than Tex-Mex, Texas' Food History Draws on Multiple Cultures

Most people think Texas is only famous for Tex-Mex and beef. In reality, Texas is famous for many more interesting dishes and has a far reaching food heritage. Texas was settled by several groups from different parts of Europe and the United States. As with all settlers they brought their favorite food dishes with them.

In the northeast part of Texas settlers learned from Native Americans how to use wild herbs and plant corn. They also integrated crops from their native area with the seeds they brought with them from Holland. The Dutch Oven expanded its application from stew pot to bread pan and was used to make several types of cornbread. Later as wheat flour became available biscuits replaces cornbread on Texas tables.

Bread Pan

Southeastern Texas was settled by people from the southern United States from Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana. Some of these settlers were poor and ate berries, fruits, plants and whatever game they could hunt. Others were wealthy plantation owners who continued traditions of fine foods and Southern hospitality. These wealthy plantation owners enjoyed fish and game, as well as an array of cakes and puddings.

Central Texas was originally settled by 300 people Stephen Austin brought to his colony that now bears his name. There the settlers ate roast pork and dumplings or potatoes while the European settlers dined on beef and lamb. South Texans diets were heavily influenced by Mexican and Spanish dishes; tamales, tacos, enchiladas, and tortillas were daily staples for the settlers. They also enjoyed guacamole, salsa and many other dishes typically associated with Central America.

West Texas was dominated by beef until the discovery of oil brought travelers and settlers from thousands of miles away. Beans were something that West Texans borrowed from the Mexican culture and beef, beans, and corn tortillas became a part of the daily diet. This is where Tex-Mex really began and over time has spread to other parts of the country.

These days the culinary influence of Texas cusine has reached all corners of the United States. National franchises like Taco Bell, Moes, and Chipotle have made southwestern food as much an American staple as hamburgers, pizza, and hot dogs...which also were incorperated from other cultures.

Just as the Texas star has five points, the Texas food scene really began in these five unique areas with many unique cultural influences. When you take into account Texas is the size of several European countries it's no surprise this single state can have such a vast array of palate differences.

Guide to Bread Machines

Bread Machines are home appliances that are used for baking bread. It is composed of a bread pan, a paddle that is mounted on the center, and an oven with a control panel. Bread makers are not exactly staples in every kitchen. In fact, a lot of households that have ovens do not really see a use for this appliance. However, a good bread maker may come in handy particularly if you simply can't do without homemade bread.

The comfort of home-baked bread

Bread Pan

There's nothing like fresh, home-baked bread to bring comfort and complete a meal. The best thing about making bread on your own is that you're assured that you're using only the best ingredients. You can use all-organic flour and other such healthy ingredients to make sure that you're making top-quality bread for you and your family. With breadmakers, you may also save money. Making your own bread is relatively cheaper than buying a loaf from the store.

Should you get one?

The answer really depends. Some people opt to get bread makers while others are quite content with their ovens. Before you go out shopping for a bread maker, you want to assess your need for it. Baking your own bread sounds like a good idea but if you rarely have the time to sit down for a full meal - let alone make one - you might want to rethink the purchase. On the other hand, preparing your own bread may be great if you're always on the go and you don't have a lot of time to spare for grocery stops. Baking your own bread ensures that you have something to eat within the week when you don't feel like going out for an actual meal.

The only thing about a breadmaker is that they are limited to making just that - bread. If you're not a bread person or you're not one to eat bread every single day of your life, this appliance is an impractical choice. Your appliance will more likely spend most of its time in your cupboard.

For those who cannot live without bread, the possibilities that this appliance offers are endless. You can make practically any type of bread with this contraption. All you need is a good bread recipe book to help you get started.

Ciabatta - Sandwich Rolls From God's Own Oven

Part 1: The Sponge

The sponge adds extra texture and body to the finished ciabatta, and it needs to be made the day before.

Bread Pan

1/2 teaspoon of yeast 1/3 cup of warm water 1 cup of bread flour

If the yeast is the dry active kind, mix it with the warm water first and leave it for about 10 minutes or until a goodsized lump of gack floats to the surface - that shows the yeast has activated. Then mix in the flour. If it's instant, just put it all in a bowl and mix. Then cover it in clingfilm and let it stand for 12-24 hours. The yeast will grow, feed, turn the mixture to bubbly froth and then die. Don't feel sad for it, yeast dies every day and also is non-sentient and therefore unable to regret it's own mortality. Just enjoy its delicious bubbly leavings.

Part 2: The Dough

2 teaspoons of yeast 2 tablespoons of milk 2/3 cup of warm water 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 1/2 cups of bread flour 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt The sponge from yesterday

As before, if you're using dry active yeast, activate it in the water first. Otherwise mix everything together and either knead or (if you're relatively lazy like me) pound it in the food processor until the magic smoke comes out. Then put the dough in a bowl and put in a warm place to rise - keep it a little damp somehow, either cover with a damp towel (I always find it sticks when the dough rises) or put a pan of water next to or under it (my approach).

Let the dough rise for 1 and a half hours, then gently turn it out onto a floured surface - just tip the bowl and gently help it out with your fingers, try to keep it in roughly the same lump. Now press it down lightly till it forms a round as in the picture, cut it in half, and shape each half just a little to be more like the standard ciabatta loaf.

Now cover the two ciabattas with a wet towel (you'll probably have to wet it again a couple of times to stop it sticking) and let them sit for another hour and a half to rise just a little more. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees, and heat the baking tray in there for a few minutes. Whip it out, and turn the two ciabattas over onto it so the floured side is now on top - the dough should be quite firm and easy to lift without misshaping them too much.

Now you just bake the ciabattas at 200 degrees until they are golden brown and sound hollow when you thump them. They will develop a thick crust in the process, but thanks to the sponge and long rising times they should be light and airy in the middle. Let them cool for a good hour (or the crumb inside will get mashed up when you cut them).

After that it's time to play a little game I like to call "how many ingredients can I get in a sandwich?" Today, in honour of the noble Italians who invented both this marvellous bread and Al Pacino, I'm going to be making a fairly classic Italian sandwich with sausage (a mixture of hot and sweet - my beloved local butchers Clarks have just added both to their repertoire), sauteed pepper and onions, garlic mayo and some of my home-made pesto. Woohoo!

The other one goes in the freezer - they freeze really well and defrost surprisingly quickly with no loss of crustiness. Good to have stocked away for emergencies, like when you really want a sandwich.

Follow Bread Machine Recipe Measurements Exactly for a Great Loaf

We all love a hot slice of bread, fresh from the oven. Whether you enjoy your bread with butter and garlic or toasted with jam, fresh-baked bread is hard to beat. It can be a tasty treat for a snack or the basis for everyday meals.

Putting effort into baking bread, with all the mixing and kneading and waiting necessary to form a loaf, there can still be bread failures. What a bummer to have your bread not turn out right after all that effort. Fortunately, most bread failures are still edible so all the ingredients shouldn't go to waste.

Bread Pan

Unsatisfactory results are things like the bread not rising enough or having too much rising. The top or sides may collapse or the loaf may have an overall poor shape. Sometimes bread will have a very dark and too-thick crust. When it's a heavy or raw-tasting bread, we call that a brick and it's a do-over.

The easiest way to avoid these types of bread failures is to follow the recipe exactly and add the ingredients in the order given. Standard bread machine recipes have been researched and tested time and time again, so these recipes have the right proportions of ingredients. The amounts of ingredients are very important in making a perfect loaf of bread. Experimentation with amounts of ingredients is not suggested, except for the addition of special ingredients added near the end of the kneading cycle. It probably doesn't matter, except for taste, whether you add ¼ or ½ a cup of raisins to the mix for raisin bread.

Because altering the amounts of ingredients may affect the rising of the bread, carefully measured ingredients are the key to making a delicious and beautiful loaf of bread. Large amounts of dry ingredients, like one cup of flour or sugar, should be lightly spooned into a measuring cup so that the cup is overflowing. Do not scoop the empty cup into a container of flour as you might trap a large air bubble or pack in the flour too densely, which would make for an inaccurate measure. Take the flat edge of a knife and scrape the excess flour from the top of the cup. Make sure the cup is totally filled and has a smooth, even top. The same leveling technique should be used to measure small amounts of dry ingredients, like baking powder, cinnamon, dried milk or salt, using teaspoon or tablespoon measures.

A tip for measuring bulky items, like cottage cheese or applesauce, is to add them directly to a liquid measuring cup. The bread recipe will call for water or milk as the liquid ingredient, so measure that into a liquid measuring cup. It's easiest to use a two-cup measuring cup for this task as there will be enough liquid for measuring and enough space left over to add the second ingredient. Note the height of the liquid on the measuring scale. Spoon in the bulky ingredient until the correct amount is added. No need for dirtying a second measuring cup. Liquids go into the bread machine mixing pan first, so empty the measuring cup into the bread pan and continue with carefully measuring out the dry ingredients.

Bread Pudding Mexican Style

Bread pudding is a classic recipe and there are lots of different ways to make it. Bread pudding is great if you have some stale bread to use up but you can use fresh bread if that is all you have. Bread pudding is a hearty, warming dessert and it tastes amazing. Serve it alone or with some whipped cream or ice cream.

Bread pudding is often enjoyed during Lent in Mexico because it is made with French bread soaked in syrup with cheese, raisins, walnuts, and sugar. The syrup is usually made with water and piloncillo, which is a Mexican brown sugar, as well as nutmeg and cinnamon for flavor.

Bread Pan

Lent is about giving up these foods for forty days and nights, so making bread pudding is a great way to use up whatever you have left in the pantry. You can also add fruit to the recipe if you have some fruit, which is past its prime. Bananas, papaya, or mangos would work nicely.

There are different types of pudding recipes to choose from and some might contain different fruits or spices. If you cannot get piloncillo, then you can substitute white or brown sugar instead and the flavor will be very similar.

Recipe for Capirotada

This recipe is rich in cinnamon, which is one of the most popular Mexican flavors for desserts. The Colby Longhorn cheese is also wonderful in this dish because it stops the bread pudding from being too sweet, while adding a nice creamy texture.

The walnuts add crunch and the pineapple adds a tropical flavor to this delicious Mexican dessert recipe. Serve bread pudding hot, warm or even chilled, with ice cream or whipped cream.

Mexican bread pudding is known locally as "capirotada" and you can sprinkle some coconut flakes over the top of the finished bread pudding if you like. Also, feel free to swap the walnuts for pecans if you prefer the flavor.

What you will need:

1 cup drained pineapple chunks 1 cup raisins 2 tablespoons butter 1 lb loaf white bread 2 cups water 2 cups sugar 10 cinnamon sticks 3/4 cup chopped walnuts 4 oz Colby Longhorn cheese

How to make it:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the sugar and cinnamon with the water in a pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for fifteen minutes, and then set it aside. Toast the bread. Butter each slice on one side and arrange the toast in a big casserole dish in one layer. Sprinkle nuts, pineapple, and raisins over the bread and then slice the cheese and use it to top the toast.

Repeat these layers until you have used all the bread. Make the last layer a cheese layer. Pour the cinnamon mixture over everything and bake the bread pudding for half an hour. Take it out of the oven, let it cool for fifteen minutes, and serve warm.

Bread Pudding Mexican Style

There are various Mexican food recipes that you can try if you fancy making something a bit more unusual than your usual desserts. Easy Mexican recipes for cakes, cookies and other sweet Mexican fare mean that you can recreate these magical desserts at home for your family.

Making Oven Baked Bread at Home - Top Tips for a Better Loaf

If you are serious about baking bread at home, here are a few tips that can help improve the quality of the loaves that you bake.

Whether you are a serious or a casual baker, the quality of the bread tins you use can have a big impact on the quality of the bread that comes of out the oven. Old tins that are misshapen or feature a finish that is wearing may result in unevenly shaped and baked loaves. They can be hard to remove from the pan, making your otherwise perfect loaf look lumpy and unpleasant.

Bread Pan

As mentioned, the pans you use will have an impact on how good the loaf you make will look and taste. When shopping for a new set of tins, there are a few things that you should look for. First, a non-stick coating is a great thing that will make your finished product come out of the pan with ease. If your bread tins are the more traditional iron or terracotta then to make clean up easy, invest in a few sets of bread tin liners. Not only will they make your loaf pop out of the pan easily, they will also make it easier to clean. These liners are available in a number of sizes to fit any set of pans. Note that any pan that you choose should have thick sides, which will ensure that the breads bake evenly and the heat is evenly distributed, even if your oven does not naturally do this.

Choose the right recipes. Different types of loaves will require a different amount of work from the baker. If you are new to baking, it is a better idea to stick with simple recipes than to try something that is slightly more complicated. One should also keep in mind that following the recipe to the letter is very important. If you are trying out a new kind of bread that requires a lot of mixing or kneading, like Brioche, you should use a recipe that is designed for exactly the type of mixer that you have. By not making any substitutions, you can ensure that you will get the results you want.

Once your bread has been baked storage is the next priority. Having the right storage bins will help keep your bread moist and edible for longer anything airtight is suitable but a classic wooden bread box is an attractive addition to any counter top and will keep your bread well protected.

A Mini Loaf Pan Makes Your Cooking Easier!

The standard pan can hold around 6 to 8 cups of butter, whereas some of the mini loaf pans hold 2 to 3 cups of butter but some others hold just half cup of butter.

Bread Pan

People doubt that anyone will surely object to receiving a larger pound cake or sweet loaf and you might consider a standard loaf pan when you are planning to give sweets to a family with many members. You can make use of the mini loaf pans if you are a great baker who would like to make tasty cake or bread recipes, so that you will be able to make mini loaves with each type.

When you are making a desert individually with one pan, you have to take care of the time carefully. Usually, the baking time in this pan will be one fourth of the standard pan. Few more minutes have to be added if you want to bake more than one loaf at one time. The directions of bake time must be followed and have to keep an eye on cakes or loaves that you make.
