Easy Scratch Pizza Crust

 Ingredients:

2 to 2 1/3 cups flour

1 packet instant yeast (2 + 1/4 tsp.)

1 + 1/2 tsp. sugar

3/4 tsp. salt

1/8 - 1/4 tsp. garlic powder and dried basil leaves

2 Tbsp. olive oil

3/4 cup warm water


Directions:

Combine 1 cup of flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. If desired, add garlic powder and dried basil too.

Add olive oil and warm water and use a wooden spoon to stir well.

Gradually add another 1 cup of flour. Add any additional flour as needed, stirring until the dough is forming into a cohesive, elastic ball and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the bowl. It will be sticky, but still managable.

Drizzle a separate, large, clean bowl generously with olive oil and use a pastry brush to brush up the sides of the bowl with the oil. 

Lightly dust your hands with flour and form your pizza dough into a round ball. Transfer the dough to the bowl with the oil and roll it around the sides until it is coated with the oil. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and place it somewhere warm to proof.

Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees while you wait for the dough to rise. And prep the pizza toppings for the pizza.

After the dough has doubled in size, use your hands to gently deflate it and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough briefly until smooth (about 3-5 times).

Roll the dough into its shape (this should make a 12" circle) and form a crust by either pinching or tucking the edge of the pizza dough. Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza to keep the dough from bubbling up in the oven.

Add the pizza toppings to the pizza and bake it at 425 degrees for 13-15 minutes (or until toppings are golden brown.

Tip: To make in advance, let the dough rise covered as indicated in the recipe and then deflate it, wrap it tightly so it doesn't dry out and store in the refrigerator for up to several days. The dough can also be frozen for up to a month. 


Time to Make: 15 minutes + 30 minutes to rise + baking time

Irish Soda Bread



Ingredients:
4 to 4 + 1/2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
4 Tbsp. butter
1 large egg, beaten
1 + 3/4 cups buttermilk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles course meal. Make a well into the dough, add egg and buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon until it is too tough to stir. Flour your hands and knead the dough just until it sticks together as a rough ball (a little like shortcake dough). If the dough is too wet to do this, add a little more flour.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and continue to knead just until the flour is moistened. Shaggy is good, the more you knead the dough, the tougher the bread will be. Shape into a round loaf and score and X through the top (just up to the edges). Place loaf on a lightly greased baking sheet or cast-iron skillet and bake at 425 degrees for 35-45 minutes.  The loaf will sound hollow when it is done. Cool slightly a bit on the baking sheet and serve warm with butter and honey.

Difficulty: medium
Time to Make: about an hour (including baking time)

Divine Breadsticks

Ingredients:
1 + 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp. quick rise yeast
2 Tbsp. sugar
3 + 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. melted butter (for the pan)
2 Tbsp. melted butter (for the top of the breadsticks)
herbs/seasonings (any you wish to use for flavor)

Directions:
Place all ingredients (except the melted butter) in the above order in a large mixer with a dough hook. Mix on a low speed for about 3 minutes. Dough should look well blended. Scrape the sides of your bowl if necessary to make sure all the flour gets blended. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.

While dough is resting, add the melted butter to a 11x17 baking dish and spread it around to evenly coat the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan. After the 10 minutes are over, roll out your bread dough on a floured surface to 1/4-1/2 in thick. Cut with a pizza cutter once down the middle of it lengthwise. Then cut into the breadstick about 1-1.5 inches wide. Once cut, lift each breadstick up and twist it around a few times. Place it in the baking dish and repeat with the other breadsticks laying them about 1/2 inch apart. Brush each breadstick with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt, basil, parsley, parmesan, and/or any other herbs or seasonings you may want to use. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let the breadsticks rise for 30 minutes.

While the breadsticks are rising, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Then bake your breadsticks for 15-20 minutes (until they look golden brown on the top).

Tip: You can also make really good cinnamon sticks with this recipe. Once you get your bread dough rolled out brush the dough with a good layer of melted butter. Then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar all over the top. Continue cutting and twisting the bread dough as described above. I like to lightly spread melted butter on the tops of the twisted breadsticks before letting them rise. Make a simple frosting glaze (2 cups powdered sugar, 3 tbsp. butter, 1 tsp. vanilla, 2 - 4 Tbsp. milk (depending on the thickness you are going for)) and drizzle the glaze over slightly cooled breadsticks.

Bread Machine Rolls

Ingredients:
1 tsp salt
4 T. sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
4 T. butter (or margarine)
3 cups bread flour (good flour like the turkey flour from Lehi Mills)
1 heaping tsp. yeast (I use quick rise)

Directions:
Put loaf container in bread machine and put on the kneading attachment. Add salt, sugar, and egg to the container. In a small bowl microwave the milk and butter for 1 minute. (The milk will be hot and the butter soft, but not melted.) Carefully pour the milk into the container. Add the flour and spread it around to cover the liquid ingredients. Then add the yeast. Set bread machine for 1st rise cycle only. (In my bread machine there is a dough setting - #7. Set it to that and let it knead. Watch it after  few minutes to make sure all the ingredients are kneading properly and not getting stuck in the corner. If they are stuck, use a bread knife to scrape them off into the middle of the container so they can be kneaded as well.

Once the bread cycle is done, dump the dough out onto the counter and divide it into 16 balls. Place the rolled balls into a greased 9x13 pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise until they have doubled in size (about 2 hours). Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes (until the rolls are golden brown over most of the top surfaces).

Remove rolls from pan and let them cool on top of a cooling rack or clean towel.

*This dough can also be used to make cinnamon rolls. Simply follow the same directions for the rolls until the dough is done in the bread maker. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread with cinnamon & sugar filling:

1/2 cup softened butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Roll up dough and cut into slices. Let rise for 90 minutes (or until doubled in size) and then bake at 350 degrees for 16 minutes. Frost while warm.

Sour Cream Buns


Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115° F)
1 8-ounce carton dairy sour cream
3 T. granulated sugar
2 T. shortening
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 to 3 + 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Cinnamon Spread:
2 T. butter, nearly melted
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Icing:
1 - 2 cups powdered sugar
3 - 4 T. milk
1/3 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla


Directions:
In a large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. In a small saucepan combine sour cream, granulated sugar, shortening, and salt. Heat and stir over medium-low heat until warm (105°F to 115°F) and shortening is melted. Stir in baking soda. Stir sour cream mixture and egg into yeast. Stir in as much of the flour as you can with a wooden spoon. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough ( 3 to 5 minutes total). Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.

Grease a large baking pan. Combine the ingredients for the cinnamon spread until well mixed. On a lightly floured surface roll dough into an 18x12-inch rectangle; Spread dough with cinnamon spread up to the edges. Roll up, starting from long side; seal seam. Slice into twelve 1-1/2-inch-wide pieces. Place each bun, cut side down, into the baking pan (OR in a prepared, greased, muffin cup). Cover and let rise in a warm place until 1/4 to 1/2 inch above tops of cups (45 minutes).

Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake buns in the preheated oven about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans. Combine ingredients for the icing and spread a little over the rolls while still warm. Serve warm.

Tip: If you use a baking pan to bake the rolls, pack the rolls a little so that they will bake touching each other. This will make them better.

Crepes

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
2 tsp. sugar
2 large eggs
1 + 1/2 cups milk
2 Tbsp. butter, melted

Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir till smooth. Let batter sit for a few minutes to let the air bubbles rise. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet or crepe pan with some melted butter. Drop 3-4 Tbsp. of batter onto the hot pan. Tilt the pan to spread the batter out evenly in a circle. Cook batter until small bubbles appear on the top of the crepe. Check that the crepe is lightly browned underneath by lifting the edge with a knife. Once it is browned, flip the crepe to the other side and brown lightly. Cool crepes and serve with fruit, sour cream, and powdered sugar.

Tips: Loosed the crepe from the pan before trying to flip it over for a better flip. Also, spread the pan with melted butter after each crepe has cooked to keep the next crepe from sticking to the pan. You can store cooked crepes for up to 3 days in a refrigerator or 1 month frozen.

Cream Puffs

Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup flour
4 eggs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 2.5 quart saucepan heat the water and butter (or margarine) until its a rolling boil. Once boiling, stir in flour. Reduce heat and stir mixture vigorously until it forms a ball. Cool mixture slightly and beat in eggs.
