Naan Bread by Januinely~me

1 tsp sugar
1 tsp instant yeast
2/3 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 TBSP ghee
1 tsp salt
6 TBSP unsalted butter
1 tsp poppy seeds

In a large bowl combine flour & yeast. In a smaller bowl combine warm water, salt, sugar and ghee. Stir until ghee is fairly much melted & salt & sugar dissolved. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture and mix well to form a dough, using your hands and adding more water if required. Turn dough out onto floured surface & knead for 5 mins. Return dough to bowl, cover & let rise in a warm place 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Turn dough out onto floured surface & knead 2 mins. Break off small balls with your hand & pat them into rounds approx 5" in diameter and 1/2" thick. Place the dough rounds on to a greased foil lined pan & broil under a very hot preheated broiler for 7 - 10 minutes, turning twice & brushing with butter & sprinkling with poppy seeds. Serve immediately, or keep wrapped in foil until required.

Makes 6 - 8.


Enjoy!

Pizza Express ala Fenner! AKA NO KNEAD BREAD DOUGH (by DDofEve)


2c. warm water (hotter than lukewarm)
2 tsp. active dry yeast (NOT rapid rise)
2 tsp salt (kosher preferably)
3T. olive oil (EVOO)
4 cups bread flour

Combine all ingredients except leave out 2 cups of the bread flour. Mix until smooth. (No need to proof the yeast) Put the last 2 cups of flour in and mix until the ingredients form a loose ball that starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Oil another large bowl and transfer dough to it and cover with saran wrap. Let sit until dough has doubled, maybe 30-45 min. This is a fast recipe, and is easy-foolproof and I love it. Punch dough down and let rise another 20 minutes. Portion into halves for pizza doughs. For most shapes, bake at 450 degrees F. Each shape and size is different timing. (Baked on a pre-heated Pampered Chef 16" round stone.)

You can par bake them (make sure you brush them with additional olive oil first!) or you can plop portions onto a hot pan and make rolls or you can make foccacia or put it into a black cast iron skillet and make a round loaf or leave it free form or put it into those "Subway" forms and make panini. DO NOT PUT THIS INTO A BREAD PAN. There is a lot of steam that comes out of it and make the crust too hard.

So yesterday I made 12 crusts for youth group and it didn't even take me all day! I started just shy of noon and I was finished by 3:15. That is 12 16 inch crusts!

I also make stromboli, panini crusts, foccacia, etc with this dough.





OH! Put it in parchment paper!!!!



This is why the parchment paper is necessary. Don't worry, it bakes up fairly fluffy. Very "New York Style"

by StillJulie

Break 1 loaf of dough into chunks and drop randomly into a greased 9x13 pan. Melt 2 sticks butter. Stir in 1 cup brown sugar, 1 Tbsp cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp milk. Then add in 1 package vanilla cook 'n serve pudding, nuts or raisins (optional). Bring to a boil and pour evenly over the first loaf of dough which is broken up in the pan. Break up the second loaf and place the pieces where the first pieces didn't fall.

Let rise for 2.5 hours. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. As soon as done, invert pan onto buttered cookie sheet.

These were AWESOME and oh so easy!

Rosemary Biscuits (by prairiegirlmom8)

3 oz. fat-free cream cheese, cubed
1 3/4 cups heart healthy or reduced fat baking mix
1/2 cup fat free milk
2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary (or 3/4 tsp. dried, crushed rosemary)

Cut cream cheese into dry baking mix until crumbly. Stir in milk and rosemary. Turn dough on a lightly floured surface (knead about 10 times). Roll out dough into about a 6-inch square. Cut into 4 - 3 inch squares, then cut each square diagonally. Place on cookie sheets that are sprayed with non-stick spray.

Bake at 400°F, for 10-12 minutes, serve warm (8 servings)

I did not have non-stick spray, so I wiped my cookie sheet with a bit of cooking oil. I used Bisquick Mix (Heart Healthy), but will be researching my own, healthier dry mix for these. They were delicious!

I think I got this recipe from an old magazine, but did not write down were it came from. I've had it tucked away for years, but just now tried it. Yum! I doubled my recipe. Most cream cheese packages have ounce markings on the outside.

Easy (and delicious!) Bread Machine hamburger/hotdog buns (by Januinely~me)

This recipe is terrific without adding the salt, it rises perfectly. This recipe is designed for 1.5 lb size, most machines can easily accommodate this amount of flour.


1 cup water
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening (I use butter)
1/4 cup sugar
3 tsp dry yeast



1Place all ingredients into your bread maker as manufacture directs.
2Set machine to dough, press start.
3When dough is finished in the machine, gently roll out dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch rope.
4Divide the dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns, or 12 pieces for hot dog buns with a sharp knife.
5Grease a baking sheet, or use parchment paper. Roll pieces of dough into balls for hamburger buns or 6 inch rolls for hot dog buns. Place them on your prepared baking sheet.
6Let rise in a warm oven for 10-15 minutes until almost doubled. (hint: To warm oven slightly, set oven to lowest setting for 2 minutes, then turn off.)
7Remove the buns for the oven and pre-heat your oven to 400*. Bake your buns for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, and cool on racks.
8These freeze very well. Make a double batch!


Servings: 12
Yield: 12 Hot Dog buns or 8 Hamburger buns
