Yumm, I'll take a whole rack!

I made bread today with about 15%, 30 year old stone ground whole wheat flour for some nutty flavour.



To go with some Spicy chicken.

Beautiful loaf of bread. Certainly one of those things that is REALLY EASY, but so under appreciated. Few things finer than well made, homemade bread.

 

[Ron Evers]

Very cheesy scalloped potatoes & pineapple glazed ham slices.

Firstly I must point out that All Purpose (AP) flour in Canada is different from yours as ours is mostly hard wheat. So you should use either hard wheat or Bread flour in the US.

1 egg + 1 tsp. cooking oil + water to yield 1 1/4 cups blended

2 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

3 1/2 cups AP flour - substitute a portion with whole wheat if desired

2 tsp. yeast.

I use the dough setting on a bread machine but a stand mixer will work as well.

Knead well & form into a loaf & place it in a greased pan. Let rise until doubled in size & bake in a 375F oven for twenty minutes. Loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, if not bake another 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy.

Thank you!! I'll try it out this weekend! I'll let you know how it goes!

That bread looks awesome! Never made bread at home before.


Here's something a little more Asian and rustic. Did a short blog about Hot Pot a few months back. Not the greatest pictures but so delicious!

Ox tails? They are quite expensive here, seems like the "cheap cuts" of yesteryear are now the expense ones, i.e. chicken wings, beef shank & pork hocks.

Almost forgot Lobster, on our east coast it was food for the poor.

Yup, ox tails! I agree with you. A lot of the cheaper cuts are going up in price. For the same price per lbs as the ox tails I could've gotten a decent steak! No idea why? Maybe people are discovering how delicious they really are?

Haha so true. All the stuff my Grandmother used to make consisted of the scraps they'd throw away at the butchers, now they are $100 a plate meals. Go figure.

That is because our grand mothers learned how to make a silk purse from a sows ear.

My paternal GM raised 7 children through the depression & a rare treat from white beans & wild game was a braised shank of beef she seasoned with Allspice & onions.

The best foods are based on poverty, imo. The trend of American comfort food is making a comeback after almost a decade of high end fusion and Haute Cuisine. . . BUT, because it's now "trendy" to do mac n cheese, and simple braised dishes, the prices reflect the trendiness. The good thing about "American" comfort food is it's wide array of dishes, thanks to the American melting pot and immigrants bringing in all of their traditions.

Herb Braised Chicken w/ Chardonnay Veloute Peas and Carrots over Garlic Whipped potatoes. . not from tonight, killed off the last of the leftovers from the freezer a few nights ago.
