Naan Bread &
~ Emma ~ I am learing about Ancient India in school. I had a project due last week and to get extra credit I could bring in a food from India and I knew right away I wanted to make Naan. I brought it to school and everyone loved it there was none left. Naan Bread 1 package active dry yeast 1 cup warm water 1/4 cup white sugar 3 tablespoons milk 1 egg, beaten 2 teaspoons salt 4 1/2 cups bread flour 2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional) 1 teaspoon garam masala (optional) 1/4 cup butter, melted In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Punch down dough, and knead in garlic and garam masala. Preheat grill or skillet to high heat. At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared. Like this: Like Loading...

See Girl Cook - Sweet Potato Corn Bread Well, it’s finally started cooling off around here and I’m so very excited to feel some fall weather.

The sweet potato brings a beautiful fall flavor (and color!)

Mac and Cheese Cups - Cupcakes and Cashmere - StumbleUpon Share this image Share It Pin It When I first graduated from college, and was living in a dreary little apartment, mac and cheese was one of my few specialties. Granted it was straight from a box, but it was one of those meals that made me feel like I was home. english muffins recipe i’ll be honest, i’m not much of a morning person. i’m much more likely to be up until 3 or 4 in the morning and then sleep until lunchtime – except for weekdays, in which case I go to bed around 3 or 4 and drag myself out of bed for work at 8:30. it doesn’t sound too healthy, but it works for me. on days when i actually wake up early enough for breakfast, i’m still not very hungry for it. but one of the few things that can interest me in the morning is an english muffin. there’s something about melted butter flooding over the crispy toasted peaks of warm nooks and crannies that is completely irresistible. even commercials for thomas’ english muffins have me salivating. luckily, this recipe was even easier to tackle than i thought, and i probably won’t ever buy them from the store again. is there anything better than smothering an english muffin (or three) with butter? english muffins you won’t ever buy thomas’ again. recipe from Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice.

Pita Bread I love foods that puff when you cook them. Give me a great souffle, a perfectly risen cake, or one of these extremely yummy little pitas, and I am a happy girl. I haven’t done a bread recipe on here in a while, and pitas have been on my to-cook list for months. What totally cracked me up about this recipe is that it demonstrated how completely uneven my oven’s temperature is. The pitas on the left side of the oven were flat, white, and barely cooked through. That oven is going to be my failsafe excuse for any and all baking disasters from now on. Ok, I’m done. Pita Bread INGREDIENTS 2 1/4 cups flour, plus more for kneading 1 cup warm water 2 tsp active dry yeast Pinch of sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp canola oil DIRECTIONS: In a small bowl, mix yeast, warm water and sugar, set aside for ten minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Makes six large pitas.

Easy Homemade Sandwich Bread We do this resolution thing every year, and although I love a good goal setting exercise, we can tend to favor resolutions that are a bit self-deprecating. Maybe you don’t need to hate yourself of that credit card debt or those extra pounds. Maybe our resolutions should be about learning something new, tapping into those great talents we already have and exploring them. Or expanding on interests we already have. I want to make more food from scratch. I’m already a person who eats very little processed food, but sandwich bread is something I’ve always bought from the store. A few weeks ago I started to make my own from scratch. And I know all the ingredients, it’s a win all the way around. Step one: Add the flour, yeast and sugar to a stand mixer (sugar feeds yeast so add it to make sure your yeast is nice and active). Step Two: Add the milk and water to a microwave safe bowl and heat to 120 to 130 degrees on a cooking thermoeter. Step three: It will look like this for a while: Step Five:

The Perfect Sunday Afternoon Sandwich | Land OLakes - StumbleUpon Weekends come and go so fast, don’t they? By the time Sunday arrives, it seems like all of the things I needed to accomplish on the weekend are still hanging around- laundry, grocery shopping, and preparing for the work week ahead. Since my fridge is pretty bare once Sunday rolls around, it’s easy to fall into the trap of stopping at the sandwich shop on the corner by our apartment before we go grocery shopping. But if there is one thing we always have on hand in our freezer, it is bacon. I don’t use it very often, but Adam always seems to sneak a pound in our grocery cart “just to have on hand.” That boy loves bacon way too much! Before assembling the sandwiches, crisply cook slices of bacon. Before I started assembling the sandwiches, I cut avocado slices. Use a spoon to scoop out the cut pieces, and voila, you have perfectly sliced avocados to use on the sandwiches. Now to assemble: start by buttering one side of each piece of bread that will make up your sandwich.
