Crusty Bread

Crusty Bread (simplysogood)

3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon Instant or Rapid-rise yeast
1 1/2 cups water

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 - 18 hours. Overnight works great. Heat oven to 450 degrees. When the oven has reached 450 degrees place a cast iron pot with a lid in the oven and heat the pot for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let set while the pot is heating. Remove hot pot from the oven and drop in the dough. Cover and return to oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.

Subject: recipe




You need two boxes of cake mix. One can be any flavor you prefer, but the other MUST be Angel Food cake mix. 

Mix them together (shake them in a big bowl). Then simply store the mixture in an airtight container until you get the urge for dessert. 

Put three Tbsp. of the dry mixture in a big coffee mug and stir in 2 Tbsp of water.

Microwave it for one minute and you will have a single serving of cake! 

Top with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream or whatever! Awesome for those of us who want something sweet every now and then without making an entire cake!!!

buttermilk cottage cheese

Sounds like a nice recipe:

https://fearlessfresh.com/buttermilk-homemade-cottage-cheese-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-22401


This I copied from the web page:

This homemade cottage cheese recipe is the perfect way to use up all that leftover buttermilk after making pancakes, biscuits, or any other buttermilk-based cooking project. It's so simple even a child could do it - in fact, this is a great recipe to make with the kids.

INGREDIENTS
4 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons heavy cream, (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat buttermilk in a large saucepan over low heat. Watching carefully, allow the buttermilk to heat until it steams and small bubbles slowly saunter to the surface, but do not let it boil.

As the buttermilk heats, curds will start to form. Don't stir, which will break up the curds.

Once the buttermilk is about to boil, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

Line a strainer with cheesecloth of a clean cotton handkerchief.

Discard the whey, if you like, or keep it for another use. (See notes.)

Allow the curds to cool in the strainer for 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in heavy cream and salt, being careful not to smash the curds. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.


RECIPE NOTES
If you want to keep the whey that's leftover after you make your cottage cheese, store in in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. You can add it to soups, smoothies, or rice/pasta cooking water for a little extra flavor and protein.


If you don't want to use cream, you can sprinkle in a few tablespoons of half & half or whole milk. Or leave it out altogether for a drier, firmer homemade cottage cheese.

bread

"An Easy Homemade Bread Recipe"
http://recipescool.com/easy-homemade-bread-recipe/?fbclid=IwAR3lf-cXn_oOfFydI-GdPzW-XeB3gCaU9YMj3NydYC1cNiLS3VDtvojH-oo



INGREDIENTS:

2 Cups of Warm Water
2/3 Cup Honey
1 3/4 Tablespoons Active Dry Yeast
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
6 Cups Bread Flour

DIRECTIONS:



*In a large mixing bowl, whisk together warm water and honey until honey is dissolved. Add yeast, and cover with a towel.
*In about 10-20 minutes, your mixture should look delightfully frothy.
*Mix in your salt, and then add the bread flour one cup at a time. (Use the whisk for the first three cups and then switch to a wooden spoon or silicone spatula for the last three cups.)
*Add a little extra flour to your hands and knead the dough, about 5 minutes. (Knead the dough right in the large mixing bowl. It keeps your counter cleaner.) Place kneaded dough in a large, greased bowl and cover with towel.
*After an hour, your dough should have risen significantly.
*Punch the dough for awhile then knead again for a couple of minutes. *Divide into two lightly-greased loaf pans and cover with your towel once more.
*After allowing the dough to rise for 30 minutes in the loaf pans, bake in a preheated oven at 325 for 30-35 minutes.
*A lot of bread recipes use an oven at 350, 325 works better if you use honey.
