Wheat Potato Bread

April 22, 2008
Mom Jones

Make a sponge of:
 6 cups hot water
6 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup gluten flour
Beat 10 minutes

Mix instant potatoes:
1/2 cup instant potatoes
1 cup boiling water
Add to sponge

Add:
 3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup honey
1 T. Sea Salt
2 T. Lecithin
2 T. Dough Enhancer

Mix
Add:
2 T. instant yeast

About 10-12 cups wheat flour

( can use part white if you want)

Knead in mixer for 15 minutes. Let rise until double. (I leave dough in the mixer, but cover and keep in a warm place. Oil 6 one lb loaves and oil the counter. Place dough on oiled counter and divide into 6 equal portions. Flaten with hand into a rectangle and roll into a loaf shape. Place in oiled bread pans and cover. Let rise only to the top of the pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 min. As soon as they are done, butter tops and take out of pans. Let cool on cooling rack for 1 hour. (Another hint, never wash your bread pans. This way, your bread will not stick to sides of your pan.) Enjoy and know that you are feeding your family the healthiest food on earth!

Pizza Dough made Healthy

(from Bosch store)
Mom Jones

In a bread mixer or kitchen aid mix:

2 1/2 cups warm water
3 Tbl honey or sugar
1 Tbl dough enhancer (optional)
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice ( you can also use any cooked cracked grain) For brown rice to cook use 4 cups water to 2 cups brown rice, bring to a boil and simmer for 45-60 minutes. (I love to eat it for breakfast, too.)
3 cups flour
2 Tbl yeast
Mix well. It will be a little runny. Let it sit and 'sponge' for 10-15 min. Then pulse to release air
Add:
4 Tbl. olive oil
1 cup flour (to separate sponge from salt)
On top of flour add:
2 tsp salt
Mix/Knead. Add flour a little at a time while mixer is kneading until the dough pulls away and cleans the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl. (I didn't count how many cups this was, but it may have been 5-7 cups.)
Knead 10-15 minutes.

Let raise until double

Spread pizza dough in 1 3/4 - 2 lb size balls. ( I did 4 large pan pizza's). Oil the outside of ball and let it relax 5-10 minutes. (Pizza will roll out easier if you don't knead it after it has relaxed)
Oil surface of the counter. Roll out to desired size and thickness. Spread pizza sauce on top. (I also use marinara or spaghetti sauce) Top with desired toppings. Bake at 450-degrees for 12-15 minutes. If you are using a pizza stone, it is only 5-9 min at 500 degrees.

Garlic Chicken Pizza:

saute:
1 T. olive oil
2 T. onions
4 cloves pressed or chopped garlic
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
6 ounces chicken breast. Break into bite size pieces as it cookes
Saute until chicken is done then add:
1 cup chopped tomatoes.

Spread dough with either pizza sauce or alfredo sauce and then spread the above chicken mixture over the top. Sprinkle with with 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 1/2 cups mozzeralla cheese and 2 T. Parmeasan cheese. Bake on a pizza stone for 7 minutes at 500 degrees. ( I baked in a well oiled large jelly roll pan at 450 degrees for about 12-15 minutes.


Apple Dessert Pizza

4 cups sliced apples
2 T. lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Sprinkle sliced apples with lemon juice. Place apples on a 16" pizza crust and sprinkle with the cinnamon and brown sugar. Cut eh butter into the bread crumbs and sprinkle onto the apples. Top with cheeses. Bake on a pre-heated pizza stone at 500 degrees for 7 minutes. (You could probably bake in a baking pan for 12-15 min at 450 degrees)

Breadsticks

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tablespoon Yeast, Rapid Rise
2 Tablespoon Sugar

3 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup butter
parmesan cheese, garlic salt, salad supreme.

Mix water, yeast, and sugar and dissolve to bubble. Add in 3 cups of flour and salt. Mix with hand. Knead and let rise 10 minutes. Melt 1/4 cup butter on a large cookie sheet. Roll dough using remaining 1/2 cup of flour to almost the size of a cookie sheet. Cut into 16 strips and then cut lengthwise. Put strips in butter and then turn over. Let rise in a cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes. Top with parmesan cheese, garlic powder and salad supreme. Cook at 350 degrees until golden (about 15-20 minutes)

*I LOVE these breadsticks becuase they raise so quickly and are great for Sunday dinner or during the week if you don't have time to make rolls. Great with salad and spaghetti.

Love you ALL!!!

Butterscotch Coconut Cookies

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup  unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 egg 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups sweetened shredded dried coconut

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together onto a sheet of waxed paper; set aside.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the granulated and brown sugars and continue beating until the mixture is no longer gritty when rubbed between your finger and thumb. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on low speed until blended.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed or stir with a wooden spoon just until blended. Add coconut and butterscotch chips, mixing or stirring just until blended.

Cook for about 15 minutes at 325*

Makes about 4 dozen cookies

** When I made this recipe, instead of using all butter I did half butter and half crisco (1/4 butter and 1/4 crisco) this way the cookies are more fluffy. Also I kind of just added the coconuts and butterscotch chips to my liking. Personally, I think that they have you add too much of both.

Well I hope you like the cookies. I think that this is one of my favorite recipes it's sooo yummy :)
