Making Some Soft Pretzels


I have done this recipe a while back and I guess it’s now a good time to post this!  I wanted to make something that would satisfy my ball park food craving.  And soft pretzels are something you can make and enjoy as well!  Sure it can be a bit time-consuming but this is worth making!  Here is what you need.

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/3 cup baking soda
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons course salt

1.  Warm the milk than combine it with the yeast.  Let yeast rise for 10 minutes.

2. Combine yeast mixture, flour, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter that is diced into mixture, and tablespoon of salt into bowl.

3. Combine mixture well and then pour mixture onto floured surface.

4.  Knead dough for around 5 minutes until dough is slightly tacky.  Shape dough into ball and place into greased bowl and cover with a wrap for towel.  Let rest and rise for 1 hour.

5.  Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  After letting dough rest punch the dough to deflate it.  Divide the dough to 6 pieces.  Roll out each piece of dough into a 30 inch rope.

6. After rolling out the dough into a rope.  Form the dough into the pretzel shape.

7. Combine 1/3 cup baking soda with 3 cups of water into saucepan.  Dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution.  Then put the pretzel onto a baking sheet.

8.  Bake the pretzels in a 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

9. Take the pretzels out of the oven; then use 8 tablespoons of butter that is melted and brush the top of the pretzels with the melted butter.

10. After brushing the pretzels with butter.  Pour some course salt on the tops of each pretzel.

Yes I did not put salt on my pretzels.  The salt is optional but these were very good.  These are better than the frozen pretzels you can get at the store.  Enjoy!

 

Making Homemade Pizza


I am always a big pizza fan and somewhat a pizza addict.  And I have made plenty of homemade pizzas over the last few years.  So I thought why I have not put a recipe on the blog yet?  Oh well; here is what I use for making homemade pizza.

  • 1 package dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt

1.  Combine water, sugar, and yeast into warm water.  Let rise for 10 minutes.

2.  Combine yeast mixture with flour and salt and mix well.

 

3.  Knead dough for 5 minutes and let dough rest and rise for one hour.

 

4.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees and spread out dough to circle shape.  Then add pizza sauce and cheese and then toppings.  I had to use a cookie sheet since I did not have a pizza stone.  It is recommended to use a pizza stone.

 

5. Bake pizza for 15-20 minutes or golden brown.  Let cool and then serve!

 

This homemade pizza is easy to make and you know what you are putting onto your pizza versus a frozen pizza or a pizza delivered.  This is also something that kids would love to do as well!

 

 

Making Homemade Bread


I wanted to attempt making my own version of homemade bread.  Homemade bread tastes better and is easy to make.  And you also do not need many ingredients as well.  So here is what you need.

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 teaspoons butter (melted)
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cups flour

1. Combine yeast, water, and sugar into bowl and let yeast rise for around 10 minutes.

2.  Combine yeast mixture with flour, butter that is melted, milk, and salt.

3.  Knead the dough on a floured surface for around 10 minutes.  Then place the dough inside a bowl and cover with towel.  Let rest for one hour.

4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Knead dough again and roll dough together.  Place into bread pan or onto a cookie sheet which I had.

5.  Cook bread for around 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Take out of oven and let cool.

This bread made for an awesome ham and swiss cheese sandwich.  Enjoy making!

Making Some Homemade Biscuits


picture1skjsk9

This week I decided to make something for breakfast.  I am trying out different biscuit recipes and this one is okay.  The biscuits crumbled when I tried to split them in half.  So this is a work in progress to find the perfect biscuit recipe.

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture.  Then stir in milk into dough.

2. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead.  Make dough 1 inch thick and then cut with glass cup and place onto baking sheet.

3. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown on edges.  Then enjoy!

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

This week I did something a little more complicated.  It took a few hours to make the bread but at the end the taste is worth it.  And on the plus side I have plenty of bread to give away.

Bread Dough

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water, and set aside until yeast is frothy.

2. Mix in eggs, milk, sugar, butter, salt, and raisins. Then stir in the flour and yeast and mix very well into a stiff dough.

3. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes.  Place dough in a large greased mixing bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise until doubled.

4. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle 1/2 inch thick. Moisten dough with 2 tablespoons milk.  Then spread cinnamon sugar mixture onto dough.

5. Roll up dough into a roll.  Cut into thirds if you want.  Then let dough rise for one hour.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

6. Bake for 45 minutes and take out when its lightly brown on top.  Check inside to see if it’s done.  Let cool then slice!

As you can see I made one very big loaf.  I did not split the loaf into three’s.  I will have plenty of bread leftover’s to give away.

Enjoy some sliced bread with some butter and some milk.  This bread is very good and this was a great project.
