From: Gretchen [gretchen@nls.net] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2000 9:13 AM To: WPSNMailingList@onelist.com Subject: [WPSNMailingList] Bread files part 3 SCHMARRN ======== Ingredients: ------------ 3 large eggs 1/4 cup milk (actually, a 1/3 cup might be better) 1/4 cup flour salt & pepper to taste. Maple Syrup to drown Instructions: ------------- Wisk (with wire wisk) all ingredience (starting with eggs) together until very smooth (no lumps). The mixture should have the consistency of heavy cream. Add about a table spoon each of butter/oil to a largish fry pan and let melt/heat up. About medium/high. If you don't have a large fry pan you may have to make two batches. By large, I mean about 10-12 inches across. Here is where it gets hard to describe... Pour mixture in all at once. As the sides start to set, push the set parts into the center so that more of the liquid pours into the "canal" and has a chance to set also. Cut/Push "openings" into the batter to expose pan surface and swish the liguid into that so it can set. etc.... When most of it has set and there is only a very little liquid left (it should still be a "whole" piece the size of the pan at this point) I cut it into four and flip each section over. I then wait a few seconds and then start cutting up everything so that it resembles scrambled eggs. The goal is to have small, thick (1/4 inch?), bite sized pieces when you're done. (The best tool for this is a stiff spatula/egg flipper :-) After its cut up, stir and cook it for a while. Don't be afraid of over cooking it. I never have so far. You want it "browned" somewhat. I eat it with maple surrup poured over top but have had it with jam mixed in. Anything sweet would do, I imagine. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SOPAIPILLAS (HOT FRIED PUFFS) ============================= Ingredients: ------------ 1/4 cup warm water 1 pkg. yeast 1 egg 1 1/2 cup milk 1/3 cup melted butter 1/3 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tblsp cornmeal 5 cups flour Instructions: ------------- 1. Mix warm water and yeast in electric blender, until thoroughly mixed. 2. Blend in remaining ingredients except 3 cups flour. 3. Put dough in a large bowl. Cover and let stand in warm place about one hour. 4. Add remaining flour. 5. Knead into soft dough. 6. Cover, let rise until double in bulk. 7. Punch down and store in plastic bag in refrigerator. 8. Roll out thick. Cut triangularly or equilaterally. 9. Heat oil to 400 F. 10. Fry until golden. Makes 8 dozen. 11. Serve piping hot with butter and honey and/or sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. 12. Dough may be kept in refrigerator for two weeks. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% PRETZELS (8 pretzels) Ingredients: ------------ 1 cup whole milk 4 teaspoons sugar 1/4 oz yeast 2 teaspoons salt 1 tsp shortening 3 cups flour Pretzel or kosher salt for sprinkling Lye dip Instructions: ------------- The lye dip is an essential part of this recipe. To prepare it, get a sealable container, perhaps a tupperware sort of thing, and fill it with a gallon of cold water. Wearing latex gloves and protective eyegear, *slowly* add 6oz of (caustic soda alias lye alias NaOH) pellets, stirring carefully with a metal spoon until the pellets are dissolved. Seal the container until you are ready to use it. Notes: 1. This stuff is not only poisonous, it is extremely... well, caustic. It will eat a hole in your hand if you let it, so don't play any games with it & keep it far away from kids. Flush any unintentional contact with water. 2. I didn't quite have 6oz when I made the dip. In fact, I don't know how much I had for sure.. maybe 3oz or so, and I used less water, and everything came out fine. I don't think the recipe is particularly sensitive to the exact proportions of lye to water, so don't worry too much about this. Procedure (about 2 hours from start to finish): ----------------------------------------------- 1. Warm the milk somewhat and dissolve the sugar and yeast into it. (I usually zap the milk for about 45 secs. The warming part might not be necessary.) 2. Add the salt and shortening. 3. Gradually add the flour. As soon as you can work on it with your hands, move it to a pastry board and knead in enough of the flour to make a good stiff dough. It shouldn't be sticky at all when you start forming the knots. 4. Form the knots: chop off a tenth or so of the dough. Using both hands, roll it into a rope with tapered ends and a relatively thick middle. Tie the characteristic pretzel knot shape: _ _ / \ / \ | X | \/_\/ / \ Transfer the pretzel to a baking pan or something and cover it with a damp cloth to keep it fresh. 5. When you have them all formed, put them somewhere warm 80-90F) to rise for 1/2 hour or less. (I turn my electric oven on to 150F for a minute, turn it off, and let the pretzels rise there.) 6. When they have risen, they will be somewhat bumpy, sweaty, and ugly. Remove the covers and let them cool for 10 minutes or so in front of a fan or in the refrigerator until the outer skin has become tough and can take some handling. 7. You are now ready to dip and bake them. My biggest problem with this recipe is keeping the pretzels from sticking when I bake them. Dipping them in liquid on the way into the oven makes them want to stick to just about every surface I have tried, even when I toughen the bottoms as well in step 6. The best solution I have is to use bread stones with gobs of cornmeal. I hope someone in netland has a better idea! Heat the oven to 400F. 8. Remove your heated baking surface from the oven and place it close to your lye dip and ready-to-bake pretzels. Don't burn your counter! Wearing your protective gear, individually dip the pretzels and place them on the baking surface. Be careful: the pretzels become fragile after being dipped. After you have dipped them all, sprinkle salt on the thick part and bake them for about 15 minutes. Note: Steve's original recipe called for 30 minutes at 400F. I really can't explain the discrepancy, although I've never calibrated my oven. Perhaps it's running hot. 9. Many people like them as is or with mustard. In Swabia Germany), they are sliced about half-way through from the thick end to the thin (as if you were opening a clam), smeared with butter, and eaten as a little sandwich. Of course, they're great with a fine beer. These pretzels are fun to make and great to eat, but they don't keep very long. After 10 hours or so, the sprinkled salt will begin to seep back into the dough and vanish entirely, leaving hideous warts, and the dough will toughen. PRETZELS (12 soft pretzels) Ingredients: ------------ 1 pkg yeast 3 cups bread flour 1/2 tsp sugar 1 cup warm/hot water (whatever temperature you use for yeast breads) 1 egg yolk 1 Tbsp water (any temperature) coarse salt Instructions: ------------- Mix 1st four ingredients, knead, and let rise. (Okay, what *I* do is stick the whole mess in my handy-dandy DAK Turbo IV on the White-Manual-Turbo cycle, and let it do the dirty work. It doesn't do the baking, though.) Separate dough into 12 equally-sized blobs. Mix egg yolk & Tbsp water in a bowl. For each blob, roll into cylinder about 18 inches long, shape into a pretzel (this is harder than you might think ...) brush with egg stuff, sprinkle with coarse salt, and put on greased cookie sheet. Note: Feel free to use egg substitute instead of the egg, or just skip the egg, and brush with only water (to help the salt stick). Or, leave off the glaze and the salt entirely. Let pretzels rise again for 30 minutes. (Very impatient and/or hungry people can omit this step. I often do.) Bake for 10-12 minutes in preheated 475 deg (F) oven. Eat as soon as possible. Remark: ------- I've been making lots of (soft) pretzels lately. I've generally been quite happy with how they turn out, and all my friends love 'em. They taste just *perfect*, but they don't look right, i.e., they come out an off-white "bread color", not the smooth dark brown "pretzel color" that every pretzel I've ever bought had. PRETZELS Ingredients: ------------ 1 pkg active dry yeast 1 cup of warm water 2 3/4 cups flour 2 tblsp soft butter 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup baking soda more water Instructions: ------------- Proof 1 package active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water. In a food processor or mixer, place: 1 1/2 cups flour 2 tablespoons soft butter 1/2 tsp salt Add the yeast and beat or process for several minutes (longer than you think you should - you can start with cooler water if using the food processor, as it heats the dough up quite a bit.) Add 1 1/4 cups flour, and knead until the dough is no longer sticky. Let rise in a covered greased bowl until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down and divide into 12 pieces. Keep them under a towel until you are ready to shape them. Shape each piece into a large pretzel, and place on a greased sheet to rise for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, in a large non-aluminum skillet, heat a lot of water with about 1/2 cup baking soda in it. If you have a bread baking stone or tile (recommended) place it in the oven to preheat to 500 degrees (yes, 500). With a slotted spoon, carefully lower each pretzel into the simmering baking soda water, turn it to coat it, and then put it back onto the pan (or on the stone, whichever you are using). Sprinkle each pretzel with coarse salt. Bake about 10-15 minutes. The pretzels will get a very shiny brown, thanks to the baking soda. For extra crispness, let them bake the last 5 minutes directly on the lowest oven rack. COLLECTION: Rolls BEST-EVER YEAST ROLLS Ingredients: ------------ 2 pkg dry yeast 2/3 cup sugar, divided 1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F) 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup boiling water 2 eggs, beaten 6 - 7 cups all-purpose flour, divided Instructions: ------------- Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 cup warm water; let stand about 5 minutes. Combine remaining sugar, salt, butter, and shortening in a large bowl. Add boiling water, stirring until butter and shortening melt. Cool slightly. Add dissolved yeast, stirring well. Add eggs and 3 cups flour, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down; turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead several times. Shape into 2-inch balls, and place in 3 greased 9-inch round pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, 30 to 40 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 325 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Yield: 3 dozen. Note: ----- I'm only posting the basic recipe: the original had a number of variations, including Sweet Yeast Braid, Sweet-Filled Yeast Loaves, and Sweet Pinwheel Rolls. The article also gave recipes for a number of fillings such as Cinnamon-Cheese Filling, Orange-Cheese Filling, and Chocolate-Cheese Filling; and one topping, Sugar Glaze. Check the magazine (or one of the yearly cookbook compilations) if you're interested in them (you can usually get the Southern Living cookbooks on sale at bookstores for about $7.95, and IMHO, they're well worth the money!). REFRIGERATOR POTATO ROLLS Ingredients: ------------ 1 medium potato 1 tbls active dry yeast 1 tsp granulated sugar 1/4 cup butter or margarine 2 tbls shortening (melted) 1/4 cup honey 1 large egg 1 1/2 tsp salt 4-4 1/2 cups bread flour (I use Gold Medal brand) Instructions: ------------- Cook potato in boiling water to cover until tender. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid. Cool to between 105- to 115-degrees. Stir in the yeast and sugar. Let stand 5 minutes. Mash the potato to make 1/2 cup (after mashing) and put in mixing bowl. Add the butter, melted shortening, honey, egg, salt, yeast mixture and 1-1/4 cups of the flour. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually stir in flour until dough is no longer sticky and feels silky smooth. I add about 3 cups of flour initially and add "sprinkles" of flour, kneading in between, until the dough is soft and silky feeling and no longer sticky. Humidity plays a BIG part in breadmaking; on humid days you'll need more flour because the flour will have picked up moisture from the air...on dry days you'll need less flour. Trust your fingers, they'll tell you when the dough is "RIGHT". It'll take you about 6-8 minutes. in 2 greased 8-inch round pans (DO NOT use larger pans or the ones in the middle won't get good and done). Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days. Cover and let rise in a warm place 1-1/2 hours or until doubled. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. DAVID'S SOUR CREAM ROLLS Ingredients: ------------ 1/4 cup water, warm (105 to 110 degrees) 1/4 cup margarine 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt (my fav) 3 cup flour 1 pkg active dry yeast 2 tbls sugar 1 tsp salt 1 egg Instructions: ------------- Put in a small pan 1/4 cup water, warm (105 to 110 degrees) and 1/4 cup margarine. Heat to melt margarine but do not boil, then add 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt (my fav). Heat until quite warm (110-120 degrees) In a bowl mix together: 1 cup flour, 1 pkg active dry yeast, 2 tbls sugar and 1 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly - then pour liquid over and beat vigorously by hand or electric mixer. Add 1 egg and beat again vigorously. While beating add up to 2 cups flour or until you get a dough stiff enough to handle. (dough should be soft, but no longer sticky--smooth as a babys' behind). Flour picks up moisture from the air, so the day you make bread, the amount of flour could vary quite a bit. Just add sprinkles" of flour toward the end and knead until the dough is no longer sticky and feels silky smooth. Oil top of dough, cover bowl with plastic wrap and proof till nearly double (about 50 minutes to an hour). Place dough on a floured board and pat out to about 1/2 thick and cut and shape as you wish. Let rise 15-30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees about 20 minutes. Butter the tops when they come out. Note: ----- These can be turned in to "brown and serve" rolls and frozen and are great when you just need "one or two" rolls. Just bake until barely "ivory" in color cool and freeze. When you want to serve later, place in a pre-heated oven and bake till nicely browned.) FRENCH FANTAN ROLLS Ingredients: ------------ 1 cup milk, scalded 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup sugar (use 1/4 cup if you'd like) 1 tsp salt 2 tbls active dry yeast 1/4 cup water (105 to 115-degrees -- use thermometer) 4 large eggs, beaten 1/2 tsp imitation butter extract (do not omit!) 1/8 tsp lemon extract (optional) 6 cups bread flour (approximately) 1/4 cup butter, melted (optional) Instructions: ------------- Combine the milk, 1/2 cup of butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Heat until butter melts; cool until temperature is between 105 and 115-degrees. It's very important that you use a thermometer. If the mixture is too hot it'll kill the yeast, if it's not hot enough it won't activate the yeast. Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl (or use a Kitchenaid mixer with a dough hook). Stir in the milk mixture, eggs, lemon extract and imitation butter extract. Gradually stir in the flour to make a soft dough (I added about 5 cups all at once and then sprinkled in enough flour until the dough Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (or use your KA mixer), about 5 minutes. The dough will be VERY soft...don't add too much flour. Place dough in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place free from drafts, 1 hour or until double in bulk. (Watch closely, it usually doubles in no time at all). Punch dough down and divide in half. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Now, you can either make Fantan rolls out of this (a little tricky) or you can make any shape roll you'd like. Roll 3 round walnut-size balls and put them into your muffin tins or whatever you'd like. If you'd like directions for making the fan-shaped rolls, let me know and I'll post it--they're a bit of work, so I never make them. Be sure to use LARGE muffin cups because this recipe makes HUGE rolls. Brush on additional butter if you'd like. Cover and let rise in a warm place free from drafts for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for 10-12 minutes. **************************************************************************** ****** Daily Bread * 1 teaspoon yeast * 1 teaspoon sugar * 1 cup warm water * 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour * 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt You can make this bread dough in a number of different ways. The simplest, by far, is in a food processor using the plastic dough blade. Pour the warm water into the processor and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top. Put the lid on the processor and pulse for a split second, just to wet the yeast. Add 1 cup of the flour, process for 10 seconds, and let rest for 10 minutes. This gets the yeast going, lets the flour start to absorb the liquid, and is a good time to do the breakfast dishes. Add the remaining flour, between 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 cups, and process for 1 minute. You'll need about 1 1/4 cups in the winter, 1/3 cups in the summer, and 1 1/2 cups in the spring or fall; because flour absorbs moisture from the air, and the air is moister in summer than winter, the amount of flour you'll need in your bread recipes will be less in winter, more in summer. You're trying to attain a very slack dough, one which will barely form a rough ball in the food processor. Remove the dough from the food processor bowl, place it in a large, lightly greased bowl, and cover with lightly greased plastic wrap. Set aside and go on about your work. You can also make this dough in a mixer, such as a Kitchen Aid, or even a smaller stand mixer, using either a dough hook or dough "beaters." Follow the same procedure outlined above. Guess what? You can even do this in your bread machine. Simply put all the ingredients in at once, let the machine go through its first knead (25 minutes or so), then take the dough out of the machine and put it into a lightly greased bowl. Reset (turn off) the machine. Finally you can do this with - gulp! - your hands. I'm strictly a machine person myself, but I did do this recipe once by hand, just to make sure it worked. I combined the ingredients with a spoon, then kneaded it with my hands in the bowl for 1 minute. Ten or 12 hours later, or when you get back to it, take the dough out of the bowl and make it into whatever you want. You'll have enough dough to make eight rolls, eight chewy, substantial breadsticks, one Italian style loaf or baguette, one round loaf, or a 12 inch focaccia. I usually opt for the focaccia, drizzling it with olive oil, then sprinkling it with a healthy amount of black pepper, a bit of salt, and some rosemary. Let the dough rise again, for an hour or so, until whatever you've shaped is good and puffy. Preheat the oven to 450°F about half an hour before you want to bake the bread. Bake the bread for 15 to 20 minutes, misting the inside of the oven with cold water from a clean plant mister three or four times during the first 5-8 minutes of baking, if you're after a very crisp crust. Remove the bread from the oven when it's golden brown, and cool it on a wire rack. or bring it to the table and eat it immediately ************************************************ Dinner Rolls Never Fail Dinner Rolls Yield approx 48 In a large bowl (6 qt) mix 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water and 1 tsp sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle in 1 1/2 Tbsp yeast. Let work until bubbly (10-15 minutes). Meanwhile, scald 1 1/2 cups milk and add: 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil/melted butter/melted shortening 3 well beaten eggs (straight from the refrigerator to cool the milk for the next step) Stir yeast mixture and add milk mixture. Gradually add 8 cups all-purpose flour until soft dough is formed. (If not using Canadian all-purpose flour, you may wish to used bread flour or add some gluten to the US a-p flour) Turn onto a well floured board and work with finger tips to start and then knead *gently* for approx 10 minutes until dough is elastic. Rinse out the large bowl, butter or oil it and put the dough back into it, cover and let rise until doubled. Punch down dough, turn over in bowl and let rise again, covered, until doubled. Punch down. Cut into golf ball sized pieces and put onto buttered pans (16 inch by 14 inch cookie sheets work well). Butter hands well while forming the dough into balls. Let rise until doubled (approx 1 hour). Heat oven to 375 deg F. Bake rolls 15-20 minutes until light brown. (After 10 minutes turn pan 180 degrees to allow all to brown evenly.) ****************************** Dusty Potato Bread To soften yeast, in a large mixing bowl combine: 2 cups warm potato water (water in which peeled potatoes have been boiled) 1 scant tbsp (or 1 packet) active dry yeast Allow yeast to proof. Stir in: 3 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp salt 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour Beat well to develop gluten. Stir in: 2 tbsp. melted shortening, cooled until just warm To make a soft dough, gradually add: 2-1/2 to 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour Turn out on a floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, turning dough once to grease the top. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Knead dough down in bowl. Divide dough in half. Shape into balls and place in well-greased round pans. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, 45 to 60 minutes. Before baking, dust loaves lightly with flour. Bake at 400F for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Makes 2 loaves. *-*-* My own comment: don't be fooled by that "knead until smooth" stuff. It gets smooth VERY quickly, it comes out smooth before you even knead it! So knead the heck out of it or it won't rise. ********************************************* Hawaiian Bread This is for a 1 1/2 lb loaf Mash 1 overripe banana in a 1 cup measuring cup. Finish filling with crushed pineapple. 1 egg 1/4 cup milk 4 tbsp margarine 1 tsp coconut extract 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup potato flakes 3 cups bread flour 1 1/2 tsp quick yeast Bake in bread machine on light. ********************************************* King Arthur Flour's Hearth Bread This recipe, also known as "The Easiest Loaf of Bread You'll Ever Bake", appears on the back of some of the King Arthur Flour bags. Ingredients * 1 tablespoon (1 packet) yeast * 1 tablespoon sugar * 1 tablespoon salt * 2 cups warm water (not over 110°F) * 5 1/2 to 6 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour * cornmeal * boiling water Mix It Mix together the first four ingredients. Let this stand until the yeast, sugar and salt are dissolved. Gradually add the flour to the liquid and mix thoroughly until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface to knead. (This may be a little messy, but don't give up!) Knead It Fold the far edge of the dough back over on itself towards you. Press into the dough with the heels of your hands and push away. After each push, rotate the dough 90°. Repeat this process in a rhythmic, rocking motion for 5 minutes sprinkling only enough flour on your kneading surface to prevent sticking. Let the dough rest while you scrape out and grease the mixing bowl. Knead the dough again for 2 to 3 minutes. (Until the original mess is bouncy and smooth!) Let It Rise Return the dough to the bowl and turn it over once to grease the top. Cover with a damp towel and keep warm until the dough doubles in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours. Shape It Punch down the dough with your fist and briefly knead out any air bubbles. Cut the dough in half and shape into two Italian or French style loaves. Place the loaves on a cookie sheet generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Let the loaves rest for 5 minutes. Bake It Lightly slash the tops of the loaves 3 or more times diagonally and brush them with cold water. Place on rack in a cold oven with a roasting pan full of boiling water on the oven bottom. Bake at 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow to the touch. For a lighter, crustier bread, let your shaped loaves rise for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven and roasting pan with water to 500°F for 15 minutes. Brush the loaves with cold water, place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 400°F and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool and devour! For a heartier, more nutritious bread, substitute 2 cups of King Arthur Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour for 2 cups of King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour. ********************************* Kartoffelpfannkuchen (Potato Pancakes) Servings: 4 2-1/2 cups potatoes, grated (2 Large) 1 large egg, beaten 3 cups water 2 tb milk 1 ts lemon juice 1/2 ts salt 1 potato, boiled and mashed Vegetable oil as needed Grate raw potatoes into water to which lemon juice has been added. Place potatoes in a strainer or cheese cloth and drain off liquid. Drain well. Beat raw and cooked potatoes with egg, milk, and salt to form a batter. Using 3 tb oil for each batch, drop batter for 3 or 4 pancakes at a time in hot oil in a large frypan. When firm on the bottom side, loosen edges and turn. Brown on other side. Remove, drain on paper towel, and keep warm. Continue until all batter is used. Serve immediately. NOTE: Sprinkle with sugar if served with applesauce. ***************************************** Kentucky Yeast Rolls Yield: 2 dozen 1 c Milk 5 tb Sugar 1 ts Salt 4 tb (1/4 c) shortening 5 c Flour (approx) 1 pk Yeast, dissolved in 1/4 c -warm (105-110 deg F) water 1 Egg, slightly beaten Warm milk, sugar, salt, and shortening in microwave for 1-2 min.
