Soft Garlic Knots & Zoom Yummy I’ve been craving nice homemade rolls for quite some time. The instant I saw the recipe for these heavenly Soft Garlic Knots over at AnniesEats I knew my fate was sealed. With the recipe as flawless as this one, everything went perfectly. Oh, and yes, there’s yeast. This is a simple recipe which yields amazing results. In case you really need to have these knots too, of which I am just sure, here are the ingredients. These knots can be kneaded in an electric mixer or simply just by hand. 1. 2. 3. If you want to do this by hand, the process will last a little longer. What we are going for here is a smooth and elastic dough. 4. …and cover with a plastic wrap. 5. 6. To do that I used a knife. 7. If the dough is too sticky then use a little flour to dust it with. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Melt the butter (microwave is perfectly okay) and press the garlic into it. Instead of pressing the garlic through the press you can just mince it finely. 13. 14. 15. …brush the glaze onto them. 16. It’s amazing!
Ice Cream Gyoza Gyoza, or Japanese potstickers, are not normally served with chocolate fudge sauce, but ice cream gyoza are! Here’s how to make your own cookie dough and ice cream dessert gyoza. Gyoza presses, also called dumpling, potsticker, or dough presses, are readily available and can be found relatively cheaply. We used this recipe from Cupcake Project for eggless cookie dough for “raw” eating rather than baking. You can also use your favorite recipe or even store bought dough (and make your own judgement call about eating raw dough that contains eggs). Mix up the dough, roll it into a log, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until it is well chilled. Cut a slice of dough off of the log onto a piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap over the slice of dough and roll it out until it is a little larger than your gyoza press. Peel the plastic wrap off of one half of the circle of dough. Put a small spoonful of ice cream into the depression. Related stories: Edible Origami and Dessert Sushi.
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins In the event of some sort of big fat natural disaster in California, I may be up a creek without a paddle. Sure, I’ve got the canned tuna, the emergency gallons of water and a few flashlights with dying batteries. I’ve got the walking shoes, a space blanket and pepper spray… you need those things, right? It’s just that I’m not sure the internets or my cellphone are going to do me much good in the event of a meltdown. My parents? My grandfather!? I tell you all of this because Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins (specifically the giant ((seriously giant)) kind from Costco) are my grandfather’s favorite. Note: my descriptions of Ham Radio here may hinge on trite and are most certainly superficial and inadequate. How many of these muffins did I eat Sunday morning? These are simple muffins. Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins adapted from Baking Print this Recipe! 2/3 cup granulated sugar zest and juice of 1 lemon 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs
Garlic Butter Rolls › shutterbean For those of you who swoon over garlic twisty bread but can’t bring yourself to order whole pizza to make the delivery worthwhile, this one’s for you! They are scrumptious! Dip some in marinara or serve them with a salad and pasta! You could also eat them alone, directly from your kitchen counter. No one will know. To push them over the edge of deliciousness, I am going to tuck a little bit of Parmesan cheese in the middle of each roll before I form them into little dough balls next time! I used Trader Joe’s plain pizza dough for this batch! Start by mincing 4 cloves of garlic. While your dough is getting to room temp, get your muffin tin ready and put some oil in a little bowl. Cut the dough into 12 pieces. Put a pinch of garlic on top. Brush the tops with olive oil and place in the oven for 15-18 mins. Here’s what they look like after 17 minutes in my oven. Dip them in a bowl of melted butter and parsley. You have yourself a very delicious little garlic knot/roll. Makes 12

What I don’t love is the pain associated with deep frying them. It is messy, time consuming and certainly more fattening.

They are super scrumptious and I encourage you to try them out yourself and see how long they last in your house!

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. I worked with my dough right away. I can’t even deal.
Loaded Potato Skins | Simple Comfort Food Back when I was growing up in middle and high school, there was an appetizer that I really loved. Potato skins. I believe my experience started with my parents ordering these at the restaurant chain. My parents were the type of couple who liked to figure out how to make dishes that were great in a restaurant, but make them better in their kitchen. They were not hacks by any means, after all, there was no Internet back in their time, however they took the time to think of the textures, and flavors, and make them something special at the kitchen table, any day of the week. Super simple to make, these loaded potato skins will not only satisfy all areas of your comfort zone, but they leave you a little guilty, and make you want to go on a brisk jog the following day. Ingredients: [Print this Recipe] Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Cook your bacon, low and slow on the stove, for about 15-20 minutes. Continue this cutting process with the rest of the potatoes.

Homemade Pita Bread is absolutel Homemade Pita Bread is absolutely delicious. It does not even resemble the stuff from the local grocery or warehouse store, which is usually quite stale. You can make it at home with very little hands-on time - about 10 minutes in your automatic Bread Baker, and a few minutes rolling and baking the dough. I think you'll agree it's worth it! This recipe makes enough dough for 16 medium loaves of fragrant, soft Pita Bread 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water 1 tablespoon yeast 1 tablespoon olive oil 3-3 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt Place all the ingredients in an automatic bread maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and turn the machine to the dough setting. If you don’t have an automatic bread maker, you may mix the ingredients to a soft dough in a mixer with a dough hook. Remove the dough from the machine or mixing bowl, place it on a floured pastry cloth or work surface, and divide it up into 12 portions. Roll each round to a circle about ¼ inch thick and 6 inches round.
Crown Jewel Cake Of all the nostalgic desserts to revive, I think this one is most fashionably worthy. This cake is based on a recipe that ran on the back of Jello boxes during the late 1950's. Long gone are the days when Crown Jewel Cake (a.k.a. The original 50's style recipe has a graham cracker (sometimes cookie) crust, so it is really more like pie than cake.
