Rye Bread

Pre-ferment
130 grams (by weight) of Rye Flour (medium or a combination of medium and pumpernickel)
60 grams (by weight) Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon yeast
1 to 3 teaspoons Caraway Seeds (how much to use is simply your personal preference, seeds can be omitted)
250 grams (by weight) water, heated to app. 100 degrees f (37-38 Celsius)

Combine all ingredients, cover and keep at room temp. at least overnight but up to 3 days.

Dough
All the pre-ferment
200 grams (by weight) Bread Flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil (vegetable, olive, etc)
2 tablespoons molasses (if you don’t have molasses you can use honey}
¼ teaspoon yeast

Combine all the ingredients and then add the pre-ferment. If you are using a bread machine (you will need a machine that makes a 2 pound loaf) turn on and walk away (you can use this time to have sex, perv, etc). If you are using a stand mixer, use the dough hook and mix until everything is combined and a dough is formed. Cover with a towel and let sit for 20 minutes. Then knead for about 10 minutes. If kneading by hand, knead for about 10 – 15 minutes.

Place in a very lightly oiled bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled (about an hour)

Punch down and form into a loaf. Place into an oiled loaf pan and cover with a clean towel and let rise until doubled, about an hour.

Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees f (190 Celsius) for about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on a rack. Let cool at least an hour before slicing.

No Raven, no beer recipes. I only made beer once and that was with a kit that uses pre-mixed concentrate.

eww walnuts

woo hoo

Here's the recipe as published. When I make it I reduce both sugars by 1/4 cup each. You can also add some chocolate chips to it if you are so inclined. Also, if you prefer you can sub 1 whole egg for the 2 egg whites.



3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 (8 ounce) container low-fat vanilla or plain yogurt
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons nonfat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups oats, NOT the instant kind
1 cup diced dried mixed fruit (or raisins or dried cranberries)


Heat oven to 350°F (that would be 176 or 177 Celsius)
In large bowl combine sugars, yogurt,egg whites, oil, milk and vanilla; mix well.
In medium bowl combine flour baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
Add dry ingredients to wet mix; mix well.
Stir in oats and dried fruit.
Spread dough onto bottom of ungreased 13x9 baking pan (a parchment lined pan makes removal real easy)
Bake 28-32 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool completely on wire rack.
Cut into bars.
Store tightly covered.

I'm gonna try those Lenny...I love that kinda thing but they are so expensive at the grocery store I refuse to buy them.

This is easy and tasty

12 chicken thighs
1 (12 ounce) jar chutney
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, combine chutney and dry soup mix. Mix together. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.

Place seasoned chicken pieces in a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour chutney mixture over chicken.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until chutney sauce has turned brown and crunchy.

Baguettes, burger buns and rye.

Nice

I made shrimp with veggies the last couple of nights. Easy and good.

Soft and delicious. This is also a good recipe to make into a braided loaf.

By weight,
2 ounces Semolina flour
3 ounces Rye flour (I use whole grain rye)
4 ounces Whole Wheat flour (I use KA White Whole Wheat)
5 ounces Bread Flour

3/4 teaspoon salt
7 grams of Instant Yeast (1/4 ounce, a standard packet)
8 ounces of warm Milk, about 100 degrees f
1 extra large or large egg
3 tablespoons Veg Oil or butter (I use Olive oil)
1 scant tablespoon of Honey

Put egg and yeast into mixing bowl, heat milk to about 100 degrees f and put into mixing bowl. Add salt and flours, then honey and oil. Mix until it’s all combined, cover and let rest about 20 minutes. Knead about 10 minutes using your stand mixer, adjust flour or liquid if needed, dough should be soft and compliant, slightly tacky but shy of sticky (I usually end up adding a little water to it half way into the kneading.) Knead by hand if you prefer.

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees f.

Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled. This dough usually rises fairly fast. Then divide into 8 equal parts and form into buns, cover and let rise until doubled. If you prefer smaller buns, divide into 10.

Bake in 375 degree oven for 14 minutes. Baking time may need adjusting if you size your buns smaller or larger and because of nuances in your oven, as they say, ovens will vary. An instant read thermometer should register 200 - 205 degrees in the center.

Your bread looks amazing, Lenny!! Yeast bread is something I have never had much luck with

lenny never baked anything really, as its to precise, but need to find e gluten free one for bread making. Soft not crusty lol
There are a few out there, but we've bought lots, and to be honest they crumble when sliced or are there isnt anything really thats caught my attention on the market, we make do with the m&s bakery brand here, wholewheat on rye or something like that.

I really don't know anything about gluten free baking. I do know that in yeasted breads it's the gluten that gives bread the structure. I'm sure there is info on the web that can help you.

I am actually gluten intolerant and I cook all dishes with a special flour which has no gluten. I am staying in my property in Italy here currently and I just love different kinds of pasta So I buy special pasta and I add to it whatever I feel like at that specific moment. My favourite is with mushrooms and truffle oil.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls, with maple glaze.



The recipe can be found on the King Arthur flour site.

Lenny your bread recipe was delicious!

Every picture looks yummy 😋

Agreed! It has to smell so good in Lenny's house!

One Pot, Three Ingredient Mac and Cheese.

If you can boil water, you can make this. What you need is 8 ounces (appr 226 grams) elbow macaroni, about 3 cups (appr 700 milliliters) milk and one cup of shredded cheese.

Bring the milk to a boil, add the macaroni, cook at a soft boil until it's tender to your liking, remove from heat and add the cheese, stir until the cheese is combined. Serve. Yeah, it's that easy.

When you're heating the milk, don't walk away from it, stir it a little, same thing when you're cooking the mac. You can add a little butter when your heating the milk if you want, but it's not necessary. Also, the exact amount of milk needed may vary a little, if you want it creamier then add more.

Here is a pic of it in a meal with some bbq pork tenderloin and green stuff.
