Food and Recipe's

I made my first loaf of bread from the heirloom stone ground wheat flour. This was a 50/50 blend of artisan bread flour and heritage blend from Hayden flour mills. It came out pretty good! This was a no-knead method I found on YouTube. Just water, flour salt and yeast.

While this bread was pretty good, it was VERY hearty and "wheaty". I think next time I'll mix in the all purpose flour to lighten it up a bit. Or I could add nuts and some spices to go the other direction, and I'd do a smaller loaf. The cool thing is I ate this all week and still have some left over, and I decided to make croutons out of the rest which will be a nice hearty addition to salads.
 
Here's some really easy flatbread recipes, I made the Paratha bread tonight, which is probably the most delicious but also time consuming one. It's basically like a flat Croisant, very good! The others in the video are flour tortilla's, Lavash, and a super fast emergency recipe.

I am making the Lavash bread from this video tonight. Much simpler and less labor intensive than the Paratha, which was delicious.. but I don't feel like taking a bunch of time for that today. The Lavash recipe is the same as flour tortillas, just minus the olive oil. Very simple. I am using all purpose flour from Hayden Mills

Grandma’s 4-Ingredient Apple Cinnamon Dump Cake
Prep time: 10 minutes | Bake time: 45–50 minutes
Pan Size: 9x13-inch baking dish
Oven temperature: 350°F / 175°C
Ingredients:
2 cans (21 oz each) apple pie filling
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 box yellow cake mix
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Steps:
Step 1: Spread the apple pie filling evenly in your baking dish, then sprinkle cinnamon over the top, letting it settle into the tender apples like the start of something cozy.
Step 2: Pour the dry cake mix evenly over the apples without stirring, covering every inch so that no fruit peeks through just yet.
Step 3: Drizzle the melted butter slowly across the surface, soaking the mix so it bakes into a crisp, golden crust with bubbling edges.
Step 4: Bake until the top is deeply golden and the apples underneath are thick and glossy, with syrup gently bubbling at the corners.
 
I'm gonna make egg salad tomorrow but I'm going to try my hand at homemade white bread, and I ain't putting all that crap in there, I don't like pickles in it, just mayo, a tiny bit of mustard, scallions, salt, pepper and a bit of Hungarian hot paprika.
Celery seed ... or use the celery fronds. That slight bitter plays well with the rich egg/mayo.

And, instead of scallions, you can go with red onion or (my preference) shallots.

This is the bread recipe I used today. I just scaled it down 20% because I only have one small 8x4 bread pan. I used roughly 50/50 all purpose and artisan bread flour. It turned out really well! Very tasty and soft. Obviously it's not "white" bread but it's very similar in texture and softness.

No garbage fillers or stabilizers - real bread. Looks pretty damn good to me.
