Amish bread recipe....

[RICHARD]

DUDE!

I just pulled a loaf of bread out that I added some onion flakes and dried basil to -1 tsp each- I also reduced the amount of sugar in the Amish bread recipe by half.

At first it had no depth to the flavor - it wasn't as sugary - but it wasn't until I sprinkled a little kosher salt and melted butter....

Oh my.

I made that?

I think olives, dried tomatoes, pepperoni and fresh would rock, not all at once!

The next loaf I have rising has more salt, basil and onion flakes- I also am trying the quick rise yeast...see what happens then!
Stay tuned?

Did anyone watch Food Academy on Bravo?

I started to hate this program but it's starting to grow on me.

I am a little tired of the "Mean Foreign Chefs". I HATE IT WHEN they destroy dishes-both the food and plates- by dropping them into trashcans or the floor.

Mainly because of the shards of china/ceramic. That stuff is sharp.

---------------------------------

It looks interesting but, with BRAVO, they edit the programs/previews to make it look like something else is happening-That turned me off to TOP CHEF. It starts out well, then the program and editing gets stupid and I don't care about the chefs towards the end of the season......Oh, Padma has become very irritating-it's the way she presents herself and the way she talks.

---------------------------

I was trying to catch up with Top Chef and wondered....

Why did they bring everyone to a steak house, then the special guest tells everyone she's a veggie?

The cooks change their dishes and when they are served the judges wonder why the meal sucked?

This is sounding better and better, Richard. Can't wait to hear more.

I didn't see the show on Bravo. Sounds like something I would have liked to watch. I wonder how I missed it?
I'll be on alert for a replay of it.

I have had pizza everyday since Sunday.

I posted another dough recipe on the "Recipe" thread and I was amazed at the results of the new batch.

The dough is so light and fluffy that I have made pizza, breadsticks and a few other creations.

I got a can of cheap spaghetti sauce, opened a can of sardines and mixed those together. I rolled out the dough and put the sauce, cheese and pepperoni on one edge, then rolled it like a jelly roll and cooked it for 20 minutes on a pizza stone. I let it cool and sliced it into bitesized pieces..Great with beer, the saltiness was a little too strong in some bites, I jsut have to adjust my recipe.

I didn't use all that sauce, too salty, so I saved it for tonight's creation. a regular pepperoni and cheese, with sausage and basil from my garden.


I have yet to taste it, If I post tomorrow it means it was o.k.!
