Keep on Hand Making Assembly Cooking Simple and Creative

Here's a guide to some prepared products and condiments to keep on hand to make
assembly cooking simple and creative. If the higher prices of some of the items, such as
cut vegetables and cooked chicken, are discouraging, remember the adage ``time is
money.''   
IN THE CUPBOARD:
Small pasta, such as rice-shaped orzo, tiny bows, fine angel hair and couscous
(granular semolina) cook quickly and can be the base of a main-dish salad for help visit www.apples-recipes.com. Additions could include chopped vegetables and onions from the supermarket salad bar, chopped fresh herbs (such as dill) and smoked fish or chicken from the deli case.
Instant rice generally gets poor marks for texture, but several new quick-cooking rices
rate well in our book. For example, a brown rice that cooks in 10 minutes retains much
of the chewy texture of traditional brown rice (which requires 40 minutes to cook) and
all of the nutty flavor. For added taste, cook the rice in broth or bouillon, or substitute
spicy tomato juice or salsa for part of the cooking liquid. Stir chopped, cooked meats,
vegetables and beans and shredded cheese into the cooked rice for a substantial main
dish.
Likewise, seasoned rice and sauce blends cook quickly -- about 12 minutes in a
microwave oven -- and are natural bases for additional ingredients such as chopped
herbs, diced tomato, frozen vegetables and canned beans.
No-boil or instant lasagna noodles make assembling a pan of lasagna a snap and they
save dirtying another pot.
Canned beans, such as garbanzo, black, pinto and white beans, add variety and texture
to all sorts of fast meals, including soups, salads, chili, stews, pastas and rice dishes. Bean
flakes rehydrate in 5 minutes with boiling water and form the base for refried beans,
soups and dips. Canned refried beans can be served as is for a side dish or used inside a
burrito or enchilada. Or stir in a few tablespoons of salsa and a couple of dashes of hot
pepper sauce for a quick bean dip.
Bottled sauces, such as salsa, pesto, remoulade sauce, Thai peanut sauces, Asian
teriyaki and hoisin sauce brushed over fish, chicken and pork chops while they grill or
broil add interest, flavor and color for help visit www.bread-machine-cookbook.com. If time allows, marinate the chicken or pork in the
sauce 1 or 2 hours before cooking.
The ethnic aisles of large supermarkets hold many canned or bottled foods that can
turn ordinary cooked pasta, rice, meats and vegetables into new dinner ideas. Canned or
bottled caponata, for example, an eggplant, tomato, celery and olive mixture, is great
over pasta or pan-fried meats and grilled fish. Likewise, roasted red peppers, marinated
artichokes, instant polenta, olive paste, chili paste with garlic and Thai seasoning mixes
often offer quick flavor solutions.
Vinegar, such as seasoned rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar and sherry wine vinegar,
add lots of flavor to fresh salads, slaws, cooked vegetables and stir-fries. They also can be
used as a marinade for fish fillets and chicken breasts destined for the grill or broiler.
Dessert sauces, such as bottled caramel sauce and lemon curd, can be used for more
than just ice cream toppings. Caramel sauce can top brownies, cakes and fried bananas.
Lemon curd makes a fine filling for a fruit tart when spread over a cooked tart shell or
spooned into shortcake cups. Canned fruit packed in juice, such as apricots and peaches,
puree nicely in a blender or food processor for an instant dessert sauce or ice cream
topping.
IN THE REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
Cooking fresh produce has never been easier thanks to items such as peeled baby
carrots, cut broccoli and cauliflower florets, cleaned salad greens and spinach leaves.
Shredded coleslaw mixes and broccoli slaw (julienned broccoli stalks, carrots and red
cabbage) adequately form the base of a fast side dish or main-dish salad or stir-fry.
While rotisserie chicken has its place in our grocery carts, sometimes it's just more
convenient to stock up on chilled cooked chicken or chicken pieces. They keep
(unopened) for more than a week in the refrigerator and can be eaten as is, reheated or
shredded for adding to salads, stir-fries, soups and casseroles.
Fresh pasta cooks faster than dried. Frozen filled pastas, such as tortellini and ravioli,
can be cooked and eaten hot with a bottled pesto or marinara sauce or chilled and tossed
with bottled salad dressing, frozen peas and diced green pepper for a hearty pasta salad.
Whichever pasta you choose, always start the water to boil before assembling the rest of
the ingredients.
Prepared pizza crusts come in all shapes and sizes these days. Keep a couple on hand
for doctoring up for a quick meal even the children will eat.
Keep quick-cooking meats, such as turkey cutlets, fully cooked sausage, boneless
chicken breasts, pork tenderloin and steaks, in the freezer. Most can be cooked frozen
(allow a little extra time) or thawed carefully in the microwave oven.
The freezer case offers more choices than ever before for fast vegetable fixes. Today,
mixed vegetables could be anything from broccoli, corn and red peppers to a
Western-style combo of potatoes, green beans, onions and red peppers. Add the
mixtures to cooked pasta and beans or soups, or fry with leftover potatoes for a quick
hash.
Likewise, frozen fruit sports new combinations, such as a blend of kiwi, pineapple,
mango, papaya and red grapes. Use the fruit for salads, compotes and as layers in a
parfait. Or puree frozen fruit into an easy sorbet or thaw it and puree it to serve over
pound cake, angel food cake or ice cream or for a refreshing fruit soup base

Meals With Vegetables Generally Aid In Decreasing Extra Body Weight

Common weight loss items consist of treadmills, resistance bands and bicycles. These products usually are utilized every day in order to assist with getting rid of excess weight. Though, in addition to those popular weight loss items, food items can be best weight loss products also. Foods generally are overlooked while needing to remove excessive pounds.
Veggies are a wonderful illustration of products that assist with removing excess weight. Vegetables have lots of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. Research has proven vitamins, antioxidants and minerals help decrease chance for medical conditions, boost immune system plus above all else assist in losing excessive fat. Therefore, consuming vegetables abundant with minerals, antioxidants and vitamins is incredibly valuable.
However, at times vegetables could result in extra pounds. One way vegetables cause body weight gain is if eaten in cheesy and creamy sauces. Creamy and cheesy sauces often require heavy creams, cheese and milk. These three ingredients are rich in unhealthy fat and calories that contribute to weight gain. Try never to destroy vegetables by using heavy creams, milk and cheese. Those rich in calorie substances turn healthy vegetables to unhealthy vegetables.
One more fashion vegetables can lead to extra pounds is whenever veggies are batter dipped, pan fried and breaded. Pan fried, breaded and batter dipped typically means the product is cooked with trans fatty acids. As a result, those food products will be loaded with calories and unhealthy fats that contribute to excess pounds. Better options are steaming, boiling or grilling veggies. Though, most healthy alternative will be consuming them raw.
One more method veggies might contribute to weight gain instead of loss of pounds is using dressings and dips. Pre-made vegetable dips as well as salad dressings are packed with hydrogenated oil, sugar and salt. All those items contribute to excess weight. Though, people love consuming dips and dressings on veggies. Creating vegetable dips as well as salad dressings at home is much healthier rather than buying these products manufactured. People can control the items used when creating them on their own. Thus, dips as well as vegetable dressings can be best weight loss products when made at home having no or fewer unhealthy ingredients.
Excessive weight generally occurs while consuming food products having hydrogenated oil, sugar and salt. Moreover, food products full of unhealthy fats and calories contribute to excessive pounds. Fat loss typically occurs while eating food items full of minerals, antioxidants and vitamins. Therefore, while bicycles, resistance bands and treadmills aid in dropping extra fat, individuals must not forget best weight loss products include products loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants without including unhealthy products too.

Bringing The Cheese Fondue To Parties

Ah, cheese fondue! The aroma of meltingly pungent cheese and wine - bubbling gently and ready for dippers of bread. It's a romantic dinner for two, or a wonderful ice-breaker for a party or get-together. It's the perfect meal to foster intimate conversation and create lasting memories of good times by all.
Lots of Pots
Cheese fondue can be used as a meal, or as an appetizer. The pots made for cheese fondue are of heavy, heat resistant earthenware or heavy metal. A controllable heat unit that maintains low, even heat is what keeps the cheese melted and slightly bubbly without burning the cheese or over heating it. You want the consistency to be smooth and sauce-like.
If you don't have a fondue pot, you can also use a casserole dish or one of ceramic material - it must be heat resistant! Use it over a well-regulated alcohol, canned heat, or butane flame. You can also try it over an electric hot plate or candle warmer, although this is not recommended! Other types of fondue pots are the classic fondue bourguignonne pan, electric fondue pots and chafing dishes.
Control Your Heat!
If your heat source isn't manageable, you will end up with cheese that cools too much and the result is a big glob of hardened cheese that becomes undunkable. If your heat source is too hot, the cheese ends up being stringy and starts to separate into a globby, gooky mess.
It's not as hard as it seems. That's why making a small investment into a real fondue pot is worth it. Your fondue pot usually comes packaged with the right style of forks, your controllable heat source and a pan that was made for this kind of cooking.
Okay, ready to try out a great cheese fondue recipe? Look no further! I have them all right here for you. Create your own memories. Make your guests smile. Treat your family to something entirely different than Hamburger Helper. You'll be happy you did!
What you'll need:
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cup of buttermilk
- 1 lb. Swiss cheese (diced or shredded)
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1 clove of garlic (halved)
- Keilbasa sausage or other dippers*
- Asparagus Tips or other dippers*
- Fondue pot or equivalent
If you choose to use processed Swiss cheese, just be aware that it tends to thicken up more readily than natural cheese and normally needs to be thinned if it stands very long.
First, heat the buttermilk and garlic halves in a pot. Once the buttermilk is heated through, remove the garlic halves. Don't bring to boiling point. Then combine the cheese, flour, and seasoned salt. Add to the hot liquid by small handfuls and stir until all the cheese is uniformly melted and blended.
Next, place the buttermilk cheese sauce mixture over a low flame (your canned heat or equivalent) to keep the cheese simmering gently - you don't want it to boil! You might find you'll need to add a little more of whatever liquid you have left to keep the cheese properly thinned and for a good dipping consistency.
This yummy recipe serves 5 or 6 as an appetizer and easily serves 2 for a meal. For a variation on the theme, try Swiss Cheese Dipping Sauce found on my web site. (See information below)
*Some other dipper ideas are small cubes of cooked ham and toast to dip into the melted cheese. Chill your tender asparagus spears and serve with the Keilbasa. Can also be served with cherry tomatoes and rye bread slices.
At the table dip your dippers into the cheese and use the rye bread to catch the drips from pot to plate. YUMMY!
Enjoy!

Okay, Turkey Tips

The other day I made fun of some of the crazy things people do when the Holidays approach and they just have to prove to the in-laws they can cook a turkey. No matter how great of a turkey you buy whether its an organic one or a major brand, if you over cook the bird it's still going to be dry. So lets have a moist turkey this year.

Tips on How to Make Delicious Panini

Panini have been present for more than a century, and nowadays they are being grilled up in practically every café in the world.  The common grilling procedure of panini at home reached a new height when Oprah Winfrey featured her favorite things.  Even celebrities try to learn some recipes for panini sandwiches; that’s how amazing they are!  To give you more ideas about panini making, here are some helpful tips on how to make a delicious panini.
-Pick your grilling method carefully.  Not all panini methods give the same results.  A panini maker can be the easiest to use and provide the biggest amount of control over heat and pressure, but it is the most expensive as well.  A lot of people are able to grill sandwiches with the use of a grill pan or outdoor grill.  No matter what recipes for panini sandwiches you use, it is possible to make one without a panini press.  Though such methods can be a bit awkward to perform, they can still give you great tasting panini.  Just make sure that if you are not using a panini grill that you use something to press down on the panini while grilling them.  You can use a brick or a spatula; whatever works for you is fine as long as you are pressing the sandwich.
-Experiment with a wide variety of breads and fillings.  Just because panini are Italian, that doesn’t mean that you have to limit yourself to foccacia, mozzarella and other Italian ingredients.  If it has bread and filings and is prepared on the grill, then it is a panino.  You can try dessert recipes, breads such as baguettes and biscuits and filings like mango salsa and apples.  Allow your taste buds to be your guide and have fun with it.
-Go for the crunch.  One thing that separates panini from other typical sandwiches is the grilling part.  Grilled bread is the trademark of panini.  They will taste best if you brush the outside of the bread with olive oil or melted butter on top.  For a low fat alternative, you can use cooking spray instead.
-Watch out for wet ingredients.  Nobody wants a soggy sandwich.  Most of the recipes for panini sandwiches include dryer ingredients.  If you are planning on adding tomatoes, I would suggest adding them after the grilling process. Remember that the crispness of the panini is the key.  However, you can still use wet ingredients just find ways on how to contain the excess juice or moisture and make sure to use thicker breads like focaccia.  If you will be using wet ingredients, it is advisable to spread them out, thinly, throughout the sandwich.
-Keep round tops turned in.  When you attempt to grill round-topped breads such as baguettes, you will see it can be quite challenging to keep them from rolling over and spilling out the ingredients of the panini.  The best solution to this is turn round-topped breads inside out in order for the flat surfaces to make contact with the grill.
-Cut with a straight-edged knife.  It is best to use a sharp, straight-edged knife, compared to a serrated one.  This will make a smooth preparation to your finished panini.
-Plan a panini party.  The ideal way to know if you have succeeded the panini test is to invite your friends and family over.  Buy a wide selection of breads and fillings.  Bring out your grill and let your guests make their own panini.  You can give them some suggestions on recipes for panini sandwiches.  This way, they can get ideas and maybe even share a few new recipes with you.
-Green veggies go last.  Grill your panini first and then place the green leafy veggies, such as lettuce inside.
Hopefully, now you’ll be motivated and encouraged to go out and make your own grilled panini in your own home.  If you still aren’t sure about what to put in panini, try purchasing a panini recipe book or surfing the net for great ideas.

Cooking With Green Tomatoes

When it comes to cooking with green tomatoes, you can use them in a variety of ways. I like to use them in pies, side dishes, stir fry's, and pickled as a snack.
Cultivated tomatoes come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. They are one of the most common garden fruits that you can find in the United States. They are rich in Vitamins A and C, high in fiber, and are cholesterol free. A common misconception believed by many people is that tomatoes are a vegetable. The truth is, they are a fruit.
When thinking about tomatoes, I do find that there is a definite taste difference among the varieties. The red varieties taste sweeter and the green ones taste a little more tart. I prefer using the green ones in cooked or baked recipe dishes.
Here are 3 of my favorite recipes.
Tempting Pie
3 c. green tomatoes, thinly sliced
3 tsp. flour
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp mild vinegar
2 unbaked pie shells
Scald tomatoes for 2 minutes, drain. Add remaining ingredients, stir until blended. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Add top crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes until done.
Fried Tomato-Rings
4 green tomatoes, sliced into 1/4" thick rings
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. white cornmeal
1 c. all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper the rings. Coat both sides of your rings in flour and cornmeal mixture. Saute over medium heat in a frying pan until brown. Serve as an appetizer or side dish.
Escalloped Side Dish
3 1/2 c. cooked green tomatoes
1 sm. onion, chopped fine
1 1/4 c. dry bread crumbs
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Saute onion in butter; add bread crumbs and sugar, cooking slowly. Stir in tomatoes, and seasonings. Place mixture in buttered shallow pan and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

4 Common Baking Mistakes

Even the best bakers are likely to make small slip-ups.  For most, these slip-ups can mean the difference between a great dessert or bread and an inedible food item.  It is not unheard of, however, that a mistake, like a wrong added ingredient, does not affect the outcome of your cooking.  If you know how to fix your mistakes then your finished product can still turn out okay in the end.
Here are four of the most common, yet entirely fixable, baking mistakes:
Your cake or bread falls apart or sticks to the pan after baking
First of all, you have to resist the temptation to take your finished product out of the pan or off of the baking sheet until they cool.  If it is still warm it will lead to half of it sticking to the pan and the other half coming off.  Allow sufficient time for your dessert to cool so that the whole dessert picks up cleanly and easily. A second reason why you might fall victim to this mistake is that the pan that it was baked in was not a non-stick pan or was not lined with oil, flour, or butter.  This simple step in the beginning of your baking process is necessary to ensure a successful final product, so always remember to follow through with it.
You have a sink in the center of your baked goods (and they are not doughnuts)
This can be caused by a number of mistakes, the first of which is continuous opening and closing of the oven door. If you want to check on your dessert look through the oven window until baking time is nearly completed.  The constant open and close exposure to cold air will make your dessert fall.  Another reason you might have a sink in your dessert is that there was too much liquid in the batter for your dessert.  A cake that has too much liquid will not rise as it normally should, leaving you with a wet mess.
Your cake is undercooked in the center
When you take your cake out of the oven, if it is well cooked on the outside and undercooked in the center, then it is likely that you used the wrong oven temperature.  Before you place your dessert in the oven, be sure that you are setting the oven temperature to the appropriate setting. If your oven is set to 450° instead of 350° you have created too much heat for your cake.  Putting your cake back in the oven will only lead to a burned cake, so the solution to this problem is to double check your temperature settings.
You misread the recipe for your dessert
Sometimes, we are just not as focused on baking as we should be.  For even serious bakers it is possible to misread a recipe and add too much flour, or too few eggs.  These mistakes are part of human nature.  However, it is important to double check your work when baking.  This means that if you think you have read a 1/2 cup of milk, pour the milk in the measuring cup, but before you add it to your mixing bowl look back at your recipe for verification that indeed it calls for a 1/2 cup.  While this might seem to take an extra second or two, you will be glad when your final product comes out identical to the recipe and no doubt delicious.

How-To frosty Bread Dough

Why should you frost your dough? Well there are many reasons. The mixing process can some times be time consuming, so it is nice to be able to mix sufficient dough to make several loaves of bread at once and frost what you don't use that day for other day. This allows you to pull out a icy loaf and bake it with out having to go though the mixing process again for a while.

We recommend using a high capability kitchen mixer, like the Bosch Universal Plus Mixer, which can make sufficient dough for up-to nine loaves of bread at once (note: hunt YouTube.com for "bosch 9 loaves video" for a demonstration). This will get you several loaves of bread dough to frost with the least amount of work. Mix and knead bread dough until it is ready to rise, but don't leave it out to rise.

Bread Pan

Once the dough is mixed and kneaded you will want to shape it and then frost it immediately, do not let it rise before putting in the freezer. When icy dough for a loaf of bread, I find it best to place the dough in a lightly greased pan while icy it. This will insure that it will fit in the pan you will be baking the loaf in when you are ready to cook it.

After the dough is frozen, it is time to box it. You can take off it from the pan after it is icy or you can just box the pan and dough together if you feel like it, it may save you some time. To box it, place the icy dough in a 1 gallon zip-lock freezer bag or use a kitchen vacuum sealer like the VacMaster Pro 130. If you are placing complicated loaves of bread in one package, it is best to use something like wax paper to keep them separated at thawing time.

Frozen dough will keep in the freezer for about 3 months or less. To de-thaw the bread dough, take off it from freezer box and place it in a lightly greased pan. Now cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap, the thawing will take a while and this will keep the dough from drying out. Set the pan on the counter and allow it to come to room climatic characteristic and then rise to duplicate its size. This part of the process is going to take most of the day, so be inpatient with it and plan ahead for it. It is best to start this in the morning so you can cook it later that evening.

You may now bake and enjoy your loaf of bread. take off the plastic and place the pan in the oven for what ever the formula cook time calls for. Remember that when making home made whole wheat bread, it is best to do it with freshly milled whole wheat flour using a capability galvanic or hand wheat grinder.

3 Halloween Finger Food Favorites

This Halloween create something different. Make this Halloween a bit more unique so it will be something more memorable.
1. To make this years Halloween gathering fun, create some tasty skeletal fingers for your special occasion.
Roast some white asparagus spears and tell your guests they are the appendages of previous party guests. If this delicate vegetable is not available in your local grocery store, substitute green or yellow string beans.

2. Another fun little favorite that is easy to make, Bread that bites.
Make delicious garlic bread sandwiches with amusing seaweed fangs. Too cute
1 cup mayonnaise1 cup grated parmesan cheese1 clove garlic, minced12 French bread dinner rollsbutter2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves or if you are using dried basil, 2 teaspoons1 sheet of nori seaweed cut into triangles. Seaweed can be found at an Asian or gourmet section food store.

Tear up 2 heads of lettuce, Bibb, Boston or spinach lettuce are best. Toss lightly with Italian-style dressing or vinaigrette.For the skulls, cut mouth stitches, nostrils, and eye circles out of sheets of dried seaweed or nori, found in a gourmet food section at your grocery store or an Asian food store. Press the seaweed sheets onto the fresh mozzarella balls. You can use an X-Acto knife to best do this.For the stuffed tomatoes, hollow out cherry or grape tomatoes and remove the seeds. Fill with goat cheese and dot with a black peppercorn or allspice berry.
To make the skeleton faces, prepare hard-cooked eggs and stick them on seaweed triangles to create the eyeballs. Set the eggs in circles of red onion. Use a peeler to slice a strip of carrot, and place between the eggs for a nose.
To serve, pair the platter with a cutting board and knife so guests can cut portions of the cheese skulls.

Great Recipes For A Bread machine

Baking Your Bread In The Oven

TIME FOR BAKING AND CARE OF BREAD IN OVEN.--The time required for baking bread and the care it should receive in the oven are also important matters to know. How long the bread should bake depends on the size of the loaf. Under proper oven temperature, a small loaf, or one made with 1 cupful of liquid, ought to bake in from 50 minutes to 1 hour, while a large loaf requires from 1-1/2 to 2 hours. As has been explained, the loaf should begin to brown, or have its crust formed, in about 15 minutes after it is placed in the oven, and the baking should proceed rather slowly.
To get the best results in baking, the pans should be placed so that the air in the oven will circulate freely around them. If they are so placed that the loaves touch each other or the sides of the oven, the loaves will rise unevenly and consequently will be unsightly in shape, like those shown in Figs. 14 and 15. If the loaves rise higher on one side than on the other, even when the pans are properly placed, it is evident that the heat is greater in that place than in the other parts of the oven and the loaves should therefore be changed to another position. Proper care given to bread while baking will produce loaves that are an even brown on the bottom, sides, and top and that shrink from the sides of the pan.
CARE OF BREAD AFTER BAKING.--As soon as the bread has baked sufficiently, take it from the oven, remove the loaves from the pans, and place them to cool where the air may circulate freely around them. A bread rack, or cake cooler,is very satisfactory for this purpose, but if such a device is not available, the loaves may be placed across the edges of the empty pans so that nearly the entire surface is exposed. Whichever plan is adopted, it should be remembered that the bread must be carefully protected from dust and flies. Bread should never be permitted to remain in the pans after it has been baked nor to cool on a flat surface; neither should the loaves be wrapped while they are warm, because the moisture will collect on the surface and the bread will not keep so well.
After the loaves have become sufficiently cool, place them in the receptacle in which they are to be kept. This should have been previously washed and dried and then allowed to stand in the sunshine, so as to be free from mold or any substance that will taint or otherwise injure the bread. After the loaves have been put into it, keep it well covered and allow no stale crumbs nor pieces of bread to collect. To keep such a receptacle in good condition, it should be scalded and dried every 2 or 3 days.

Machines Make Dough for Bread and Rolls

Bread makers, bread machines, stand mixers and food processors will all mix ingredients into dough for you. Just add the water or liquid ingredients and flour and start the mixing paddles. When using a mixer or food processor you'll have to be a minute practiced in knowing when the dough has been mixed enough. When the dough holds together and seems to be one uniform mass, stop the mixer and take off the dough.

Bread machines do a minute better job because they typically have a 'dough cycle' where the dough ingredients are wholly mixed. The bread engine provides a warm climate so the dough can be taken straight through its first rising.

Bread Pan

Once your bread engine makes the dough, tip over the pan so the dough falls out onto a lighted floured surface. take off the mixing paddle(s) from the dough and punch out the gas that has collected while the dough rising. Turn the mass of dough over and press out the remaining gas.

To make bread loaves, divide the dough into two balls and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes. Make each dough ball into a loaf by rolling and shaping into a cylindrical form. Put both loaves on a floured baking sheet or stone. Let rest for 45 minutes. Spray loaf tops with water, or brush with beaten egg, and top with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-35 minutes.

Alternatively, you can fill a baking pan with the dough instead of development a loaf. Here's where you can be as innovative as you like. Use a large tin can or coffee can as the bread pan. Even a ceramic flowerpot can be used as the bread pan. Just make sure to use one that hasn't been contaminated with any organery chemicals.

Make evening meal rolls plainly by dividing the dough into a dozen balls instead of two as it comes out of the bread maker. After letting the dough rest for half an hour, take each ball and divide it into three even pieces. Roll each piece in the middle of your hands and shape into a small ball and place the three balls together in a muffin cup or stick them together on a baking pan. Spray lightly with water and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Brushing the evening meal roll tops with beaten egg before baking will give them a nice golden color.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 15 Inch Cast-Iron Skillet Reviews

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 15 Inch Cast-Iron Skillet Reviews
The Best Cast-Iron Skillet
If you want the best cast iron frying pan, you can buy a house. I have four pots, and you are at least 40 years and always the best conditions. I'm just out of the oven appeal lay 15-1/4 inches, an internal fund is not smooth, but it was still easy to clean when squeezing milk from chicken meat.

Excellent "large and in charge" cast iron skillet
Actual size when I got my 15 "top diameter 12" diameter cooking surface and 2-1/2 "high wall. It turns out, is that in good faith, 12" Cooktop really great, what I wanted. (The Commission original goal was disappointed with the bread, which are even higher, since a total of 14 cooking. A large pan, it would be good for my oven, but it works in the oven or abroad.)
Although a large stove burner covers a part of my pool, I'm surprised by the warm pool heating for 10 minutes before use. I had no problem cooking for more than 2 kg of potatoes, French fries, yes, but left behind a beautiful golden color and size is not too sticky. And can a propane burner outside the concerns of the tread Teflon great benefit.
Preseasoning is very convenient. Location were minor defects at the edges of the sauce, but only a light jacket and clean pan with oil before first use and maintenance of a constant is the rest.
Cooking surface is perfectly smooth, but in my experience does not affect his performance and how it is easy to clean. I see no reason why the performances of sand base has a glossy surface and create a new look which some critics have done .

My favorite skillet
I use this pan almost every day. I have a small family, but remain just double batches of almost all important areas of Cook, and it gives me a stove, without boiling. As with all kitchen utensils Lodge Logic Pre-seasoned, I still had a layer of spices (peanut oil) and baked at a low temperature for several hours before use. Much easier to clean up the statement. Then wash with warm water and a nylon brush, then back to my gas stove for a few minutes to warm up. If all the water droplets evaporate and the heat, but cool shot Pam. I can not recommend it enough bowl. is for the protection, I'm warming drawer at the bottom of my group that my husband and two 12 "cast iron stoves well. Do I use to melt rare heat. I agree as long as you read over medium heat, smoke, and adjust from there.

Baking Bread - Cuban Pan De Ajo (Cuban Garlic Bread)

Last week I went down to Miami for the first time to sample and article on the vibrant Miami food community. What I found was a food community full of astounding exile stories, perilous ocean crossing adventures, and astounding snapshots of great Miami food fare, especially Cuban food. Along with my staffer Emily, we were especially smitten with the smell, taste,texture and serving methods of Cuban bread. 

Cuban sandwiches are world notable and a staple at any Cuban restaurant. Emily thinks it is the bread that makes the sandwich. That consider can rage on forever. The actual Cuban white bread is not at all complex, but absolutely quite simple. It has a separate baking method and is made with separate ingredients than French or Italian bread. The bread is baked in a cold oven over boiling water before it reaches its desired baking temperature. Cuban bread is then baked with a dab of lard or vegetable shortening. Real Cuban bread is baked in long, baguette-style loaves. It has no preservatives so it will not keep long. After a few days, the bread becomes extremely hard. This bread is made to be enjoyed right away. The best way to use it also in a sandwich, is to have it served at breakfast. In Cuban households, the bread is toasted with butter and served with a hot mug of cafe con leche for breakfast. 

Bread Pan

This bread baking method is a great way to savor and enjoy Cuban bread. It is easy to get ready and blends astounding flavors together to form an outstanding exposure to Cuban food and culture.  

Pan de Ajo (Cuban Garlic Bread)

Serves 8-10

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons diced parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 (2 feet) loaf Cuban bread or French bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices

1. Couple the oil, butter, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Let this mixture sit for at least 15 minutes, so the flavors can blend together.

 2. Preheat the oven to 350*F. 

3. Spread the garlic mixture on one side of each slice of bread. 

4. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 6 to 10 minutes, until the butter has melted and the bread has browned. 

Serve immediately.

West Bend 41300 Hi-Rise Electronic Dual-Blade Breadmaker

I bought the West Bend 41300 Hi-Rise machine based on the reviews here and on alternative sites. it might be arduous to search out one thing higher within the below $100 class. it isn't a "Zoji" however it will a fine job of imitation. And since the manufacturer is in my home state of WI, I virtually HAD to shop for this one. I simply received it off the UPS truck this afternoon. once laundry out the pan and running an empty bake cycle to burn off that 'new' smell, I threw in my favorite wheat bread recipe. this can be my 1st twin paddle machine, and that i am impressed with how well the tag team effort works the dough. The loaf came out of the bake cycle with a pleasant uniform color with a decent crust on it. I personally sort of a serious crust on my homemade bread. the inside of the loaf showed a pleasant uniform rise pattern. No massive holes or dense areas. Very nice.
While unpacking the unit from the box I found alittle wire gadget that I failed to recognize the aim of. All that was mentioned within the manual was that it absolutely was a wire hook (I already knew that). Later on, after I fell the freshly-baked loaf out of the pan I quickly realized what this small whatzit was for. each paddles had initiate of the bread pan with the baked loaf, and were embedded within the bread. This handy very little hook fits within the hole on the paddle and permits me to fish out the baked-in kneading utensil while not damaging the bread loaf. it is the very little things that bring the pleasures in life . . . . This machine gets a grade A primarily based on 1st impressions. If my opinion changes i'll be back to edit this review.

Bread motor Tips

What's best than baking healthy, tasty loaves for family and friends? Baking made easy with a bread machine! Now obviously with a exiguous 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 some 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. Enumerate the owner's manual, survey how the machine opens and closes etc... Make sure that you know where its functions are on the operate panel.

Bread Pan

2. Settle 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 exiguous 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 study manual handy. You will be amazed by the dissimilar 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 legitimately start to get serious. Either you are using a family recipe, a formula from a cookbook or one from online, the ingredients Settle your success or failure. As you know the basic ingredients are flour, butter, salt, sugar, yeast and water. When utilizing a formula from online or a family recipe, you must remember to adjust your ingredients accordingly. Was your formula 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 customary recipe. Your owner's manual should have a few recipes for comparison also. The ingredient amounts are very leading so be ready to devote a exiguous extra time in this area.

There are many bread manufacture 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 allowable care of your bread maker and the allowable 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!

Love the Smell of Fresh Bread? Make Your Own! It’s Easy!

Far too many people don’t know how fantastic homemade bread really is. Store bought bread can’t begin to compare, and neither can bread-machine-made bread. In fact, while bread machines are easy (just pop in the ingredients, turn the machine on, and leave the kitchen), the end resultis often not satisfactory, which only encourages the myth that homemade bread is beyond the average household.

Baking Bread in a Dutch Oven

Dutch ovens were made for baking. In the hands of a practiced baker, a Dutch oven will create beautiful breads and desserts. (Though some of us tend to burn breads in a Dutch oven.)

You can all the time bake bread in a well-oiled Dutch oven but instead of baking directly in the oven, reconsider this method: Put the dough in a baking pan and the pan in the Dutch oven.

Bread Pan

Recently, a reader from California told us of her success baking bread with a pan inside of a Dutch oven. She used a mix for Irish Potato Bread. This mix creates a large loaf and she made it according to container instructions. She formed the dough into a round loaf and placed the dough in a greased nine-inch metal pie pan. She then set the pan atop small rocks in lowest of her twelve-inch Dutch oven. She put the lid on the Dutch oven and the oven on ten briquette coals. an additional one fourteen briquettes went on the top. She baked the bread for 45 minutes, turning the lid occasionally. She was baking at an elevation of 7,000 in the Sequoia Mountains.

"I was surprised and delighted to find that the bread was perfect," she said. "The crust was brown on top and it was a real treat . . . A great success."

You should have similar success baking rolls in a baking pan or a loaf in a primary bread pan. To get the right-sized loaves for a Dutch oven, reconsider bread motor mixes or recipes for single loaves. A bread motor mix will give you that single loaf or smaller batch of rolls, just right for a Dutch oven. If you crowd two loaves into a Dutch oven, there may not be adequate air circulation between the loaves. Without adequate space, the loaves will tend to be lopsided.

It is prominent that you elevate the pan off the lowest of the Dutch oven using small stones so that it does not burn the lowest of the bread. Make sure that you have adequate top clearance so that the rising bread does not reach the lid.

You can use this same technique to bake great desserts or pastries. reconsider baking sweet rolls or pasties in a raised pan in your Dutch oven.

Pitta Bread formula

My kids love pitta (or pita) bread, those flat round breads that open into pockets that can be stuffed with anyone and eaten in your hands, the greatest takeaway food package. I first encountered it as a box for falafel, spiced chickpea patties and salad, a trendy urban road food in London way back then.

Now I use pitta bread as a freezer standby for lunch times when I seek we've run out of bread. Just pop a round into the toaster to defrost, then spread inside with cream cheese or ripe avocado and fill with cucumber slices or diced tomato, or cooked chicken and salad, to furnish an instant favorite meal. Recently though the pack of six breads, that I so casually toss into the shopping trolley and then into the freezer, seem to have got ridiculously high-priced for such a straightforward food, more than twice the price of a loaf of bread and they vanish in an instant.

Bread Pan

I turned to my Madhur Jaffrey Cookbook, the authority on all foods Indian and Middle Eastern, to see how involved it would be to make my own pitas. It seemed no different to production commonplace white bread, just with the extra step of rolling the rounds and cooking them individually. Her formula also makes twelve breads, so I had visions of having six for one meal and being able to stock the freezer again for another emergency.

I should have known my house better. The resulting breads were so delicious - warm, soft and fluffy inside, without the hard leatheriness of the bought ones - that they all disappeared in a twinkling, with just one half-piece left at the end of the meal and no photographs taken to show for it. The softer consistency made them a wee less resilient as pockets than the bought pita, but we did eat them right from the oven. I think cooling and then reheating them, or baking for an extra minute, would toughen the covering just adequate to hold the fillings well without losing the inner softness.

Pitta Bread Recipe

450g / 1lb white bread flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 10g sachet (or 3 teaspoons) instant yeast or ¼ oz / 8g active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Sift together the flour and salt. Concentrate yeast, sugar and 60ml / ¼ cup lukewarm water in a cup and leave for five minutes until it starts to froth. Mix the yeast mixture and 250 ml / 1 cup more lukewarm water into the flour and add the olive oil. Mix together to form a dough, adding another few tablespoons warm water as needed. Knead the dough on a floured covering for approx 10 minutes until it is smooth, springy and elastic. Put the dough back into the bowl, cover with a damp cloth or put the whole bowl into a plastic bag and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 ½ - 2 hours until it has doubled in size.

Punch the air out of the dough and knead briefly, then divide the dough into twelve pieces. Roll each one out to a ¾ cm / ¼ inch thick round and put on a floured baking tray. When they're all done cover the tray and leave to rise again for another 45 minutes. I use a black plastic bin liner for my bread to rise in - you can tuck it loosely around the tray leaving an air space above the bread dough so that it doesn't stick.

Preheat your oven to its top temperature - about 220C / 450F if it will get that hot. Put a large cast iron griddle or frying pan in the middle of your oven to heat. (If you have a gas oven put it at the bottom where it is hottest). You can also use a heavy baking sheet or cookie tray. Once the dough has risen, put one or two pitta breads onto the griddle and return to oven to cook for 2 ½ to 3 minutes until they have puffed up. Bring the bread out onto a plate covered by a damp cloth to cool off. Once cool they can be frozen in bags. Reheat under the grill or in a toaster.

One of these days I'll be organised adequate to make a batch especially for the freezer, so that I have my accident bread back-up. I think I'll have to do it in incommunicable when the kids are at school though, or the pitta bread just won't make it to the freezer!

Tips for the Bread Machine

Bread Pan

There is nothing better than baking healthy bread for your family. Baking made extra easy with your very own bread machine! With a little know how this can be done manually. However it can also be a lot of work. This is particularly true when your family consumes several loaves a week. A bread machine can be one of the best investments that you can make. It doesn't have to cost you a lot and it can help save a ton of time. Once you have decided on a machine, there are a few guidelines that will help with your baking.
Tips:
1. Get familiar with your machine - Make certain that you learn about your bread machine's features on day one. You should become very comfortable with it. Don't be scared to kick the tires. Review the owner's instruction booklet, observe how the machine opens and closes etc... You should be familiar with most if not all of its functions and the control panel.
2. Determine your machine's capacity - Look for your bread pan's capacity in the owner's manual. You can also test it yourself. You can complete your own calculations using a simple measuring cup to fill the bread pan up with water.  Just add one cup of water unitl your bread pan is 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. Understanding your Bread Machine's 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.  Make sure you cover at minimum the basics, Start/stop, timing functions and cycles.
4. Ingredients - Now this next section is extremely important.  Your ingredients determine your success.  It doesn't matter whether you are using a family recipe, one from online or one from a cookbook.  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 modifications that you make should contain ingredients that are in the same ratio as your original recipe.  Your owner's manual should have a few recipes for comparison also.  The amounts and your ingredients are extremely important so be prepared to devote some time to this area.
As you know there are a number of bread making machines on the market, all of which you can choose from.  For the most part, they all do the same thing.  How well your loaves come out depends largely 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!

How to Make Flax Meal Bread - Recipes For Fat Loss

Eating bread and staying lean typically don't go hand in hand. You can't have your bread and eat it too, so to speak.

One of the major problems is that most breads are packed full of over processed and for real digested flour.

Bread Pan

This high carbohydrate article combined with very small amounts of fibre and you have a blood sugar surge waiting to happen.

This can be a good thing if you have just smashed or are about to have an intense workout. Otherwise a recipe for disaster and will just add a bit more to your waistline.

Now instead of turning this into an anti bread article, I'm going to offer you an alternative that will tick off a lot more boxes nutritionally.

Flax meal bread is as good for you as it sounds. Flax seeds, flax meal etc are a great source of fibre, omega 3's and protein. As such whatever that is made with flax as a main ingredient is going to be pretty good for you as well.

Follow this recipe and let me know what you think.

Ingredients
2 Cups Flax Meal 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder 2 Teaspoons Stevia 5 Eggs 1/2 Cup Water 1/3 Cup Oil

With regard to the 'exact' ingredients you use, obviously the higher the quality, the better the end goods will be. This will vary depending on your location and availability of dissimilar brands or products.

To start with put all of the dry ingredients (the flax meal, baking powder and stevia) into a large mixing bowl and incorporate well. I used a whisk which works well. In a cut off bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Add the water and oil to the eggs and give them a quick mix before adding it to the dry ingredients.

Give it all a quick mix together just with the whisk or a wooden spoon. It will go thick in a hurry so just get it all mixed together and then pour it into a lined pan. A square or rectangle pan about 25cm or 10 inches will be perfect. You will need to flatten the mix out to the edges with your hand or a spoon but in a pan this size it should be about 2cm thick all around.

Bake for 20 minutes @ 190 degrees Celsius, fan forced. The mix should be 'browning' on top, risen a tiny and spring back up when touched.

Fresh baked bread tastes great and this is no different. From this recipe I get eight slices. So out of the pan I cut it into four even squares. From each square I then slice in half to make two, well, slices!

From there what I propose is to toast it and top with almond butter. Peanut butter is just as nice. Just make sure the topping is a healthy selection and will help you to lose stomach fat.

Because it is quite heavy, one slice will be more than sufficient and I'd propose having it with a cup of your favourite tea as well.
