6 eggs

4 ½ c flour (3+ more cups)

 

Dissolve yeast in warm milk for 3 minutes.

Combine Yeast mixture, 4 ½ c of the flour and remainder of ingredients and beat well with electric stand mixer. 

Cover bowl with greased plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise, in warm spot, until double in size (about 40 minutes). Remove plastic wrap and reserve for later.

Knead until smooth.

Cover with reserved plastic wrap. Chill ½ hour in refrigerator.

 

Nanny’s Caramel Nut Rolls

Submitted by Kathleen Ponto

Makes enough for one 13x9 and one 8” circle or square pan

 

Caramel:

½ cup butter            ¾ cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp Milk or cream         ½ tsp salt

 

Chopped, toasted walnuts

 

Line inside bottoms and sides of pans with parchment.

Cream the butter and sugar together for several minutes. Add the milk and salt and whip into frothy, creamy frosting.

Spread the frosting evenly on the bottom of the parchment-lined pans just barely thin enough so you can’t see the pan through the frosting.

Sprinkle chopped, toasted walnuts over the top of the caramel frosting. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

 

Rolls:

1 batch bread dough* (use “Nanny’s Bread” above, or use a basic white bread dough or sweet roll dough recipe, or frozen pre-made bread dough)

½ c melted butter               ½ c Cinnamon

1 c Sugar                   2 Tb brown sugar

 

Rolls:

Roll dough into rectangle, approx. ¼” thick. *

Brush melted butter over entire surface of bread dough to very edges. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and sugar. (Or you can whip softened butter with sugars and cinnamon and spread the paste over the dough).

Beginning on long side, roll dough up, gently pressing on final edge to seal. Let rest for a minute on seal. Using a very sharp knife or bread knife, slice the log into individual rolls, approximately 1 ½ “thick.

Lay the cinnamon rolls flat onto the prepared caramel nut pans, with space enough between edges of pan and each other, to rise. Approx. 6 rolls should fit in a round pan.

*Note: I have successfully substituted Rhodes readymade, frozen cinnamon rolls (leave off the cream cheese frosting packet) and this simplifies the process!

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Let rolls rise slightly (except for frozen Rhodes rolls which can be put directly into oven) in a warm dark place (not too warm to melt caramel).

Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown and caramel just barely begins to bubble up the sides.

Sarah Naff’s Sour Dough Bread:

 

(THIS PLAN ASSUMES THAT YOU ARE STORING A STARTER OF:  2/3 CUP OF FLOUR PLUS 1/2 CUP WATER.)

 

DAY 1: (2 periods of work, no more than 20 minutes each)

 

Refreshing your starter, your first build and making your soaker: APPROXIMATELY 10-20 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 1:

 

Refresh your storage starter:   Add 1/2 CUP WATER + 2/3 CUP FLOUR to the starter in the jar. Put half back in the jar to keep in the fridge and keep out half to build your bread.

 

First build: Add 1/2 CUP WATER + 2 CUPS FLOUR to the starter you kept out (total of 200 g water + 400 g flour)

 

Leave at room temp for 6-12 hours (Can then be refrigerated for several days if you aren't ready to use it for some reason)

 

Soaker: When you do the first build, also make your soaker.

 Combine 5 CUPS WATER with 10 1/2 CUPS FLOUR. Leave at room temp for 12-24 hours. (Can then be refrigerated for several days if you aren't ready to use it for some reason)

 

APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 1, your second build:

 

Second build: Add 1 CUP WATER + 2 2/3 CUPS FLOUR to the starter.

Leave at room temp for 6-12 hours (Can then be refrigerated for several days if you aren't ready to use it for some reason)

 

DAY 2: (4 periods of work, no more than 10 minutes each)

 

APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 2: making your final dough

 

Make your final dough: Combine the Soaker and the Starter and add 7 tsp salt (2 Tbsp + 1 tsp). Knead in the mixer for about 3-5 minutes. Put in container to rise for 6-8 hours. (But after about 2 hours you are going to fold the first of two times)

 

APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES OF WORK TWICE ON DAY 2: Fold dough 2 hours after your made your dough

 

 

APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES OF WORK TWICE ON DAY 2: Fold dough 4 hours after your made your dough or 2 hours after the last ‘fold’.

 

In summary: Fold twice during the rising time, at approximately 2 hours and then 4 hours after you made your final dough.

 

APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 2. 6-8 hours after making your final dough:  

Shape the dough into 4 loaves.  Each loaf will be just over 2 lbs. This size loaf can fit into a large loaf pan (9" x 5"). (You might make two loaves a bit smaller for the loaf pans, and then 2 a bit bigger that you make into "torpedo" shapes not in a pan. The 9" x 5" pan holds 2 lbs. well.)  This is the step where after shaping it I put it straight into the fridge for 12 - 18 hours. You can also shape it and leave it at room temp for about 4 hours.

 

Baking your bread: DAY 2 or 3:

Preheat oven to 475 1 hour before baking. Put pot of water into oven and seal the oven w/ towel to make sure no evaporation.

 

Remove loaves 1 hour before baking.

 

Bake for 15 minutes with steam but reduce the temp to 425 just five minutes after putting loaves into oven, bake the next 10 minutes at 425 to equal the 15 minutes.

 

Remove towel and pot of water, bake for 15 more minutes at 425 w/out the steam.

 

Sarah Naff’s Sour Dough Bread:

 

(THIS PLAN ASSUMES THAT YOU ARE STORING A STARTER OF:  2/3 CUP OF FLOUR PLUS 1/2 CUP WATER.)

 

DAY 1: (2 periods of work, no more than 20 minutes each)

 

Refreshing your starter, your first build and making your soaker: APPROXIMATELY 10-20 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 1:

 

Refresh your storage starter:   Add 1/2 CUP WATER + 2/3 CUP FLOUR to the starter in the jar. Put half back in the jar to keep in the fridge and keep out half to build your bread.

 

First build: Add 1/2 CUP WATER + 2 CUPS FLOUR to the starter you kept out (total of 200 g water + 400 g flour)

 

Leave at room temp for 6-12 hours (Can then be refrigerated for several days if you aren't ready to use it for some reason)

 

Soaker: When you do the first build, also make your soaker.

 Combine 5 CUPS WATER with 10 1/2 CUPS FLOUR. Leave at room temp for 12-24 hours. (Can then be refrigerated for several days if you aren't ready to use it for some reason)

 

APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 1, your second build:

 

Second build: Add 1 CUP WATER + 2 2/3 CUPS FLOUR to the starter.

Leave at room temp for 6-12 hours (Can then be refrigerated for several days if you aren't ready to use it for some reason)

 

DAY 2: (4 periods of work, no more than 10 minutes each)

 

APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 2: making your final dough

 

Make your final dough: Combine the Soaker and the Starter and add 7 tsp salt (2 Tbsp + 1 tsp). Knead in the mixer for about 3-5 minutes. Put in container to rise for 6-8 hours. (But after about 2 hours you are going to fold the first of two times)

 

APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES OF WORK TWICE ON DAY 2: Fold dough 2 hours after your made your dough

 

 

APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES OF WORK TWICE ON DAY 2: Fold dough 4 hours after your made your dough or 2 hours after the last ‘fold’.

 

In summary: Fold twice during the rising time, at approximately 2 hours and then 4 hours after you made your final dough.

 

APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES OF WORK ON DAY 2. 6-8 hours after making your final dough:  

Shape the dough into 4 loaves.  Each loaf will be just over 2 lbs. This size loaf can fit into a large loaf pan (9" x 5"). (You might make two loaves a bit smaller for the loaf pans, and then 2 a bit bigger that you make into "torpedo" shapes not in a pan.

Composed of just five simple ingredients, this grain-free bread is remarkably satisfying. Though the bread is made from coconut flour, its flavor is only slightly reminiscent of coconut, and it offers a beautiful dense crumb like coffee cake but without the cloying sweetness. While you could undoubtedly use this coconut flour bread to prepare sandwiches, I think its dense crumb coupled with its very faint coconut flavor would make it the ideal bread for a nutrient-dense and protein-rich French toast.  This coconut flour bread will be featured in the lesson #10′s recipe section of CHEESESLAVE’s new cooking class, Surf & Turf, which focuses exclusively on protein: why we needed, why you may need more than you think, and how to prepare it.

Coconut Flour Bread: Ingredients

ingredients

• The Night Before

• 1 cup proofed sourdough starter

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 2 cups milk, from reconstituted powdered milk (or regular milk)

• 4 cups unbleached white flour

• The Next Morning

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 -2 cup unbleached white flour

• 2 teaspoons salt (preferably sea salt)

• 1⁄4 cup cornmeal, for sprinkling

directions

• Night Before:

• Mix starter, honey and milk in mixing bowl until smooth.

• Add 4 cups flour, mixing in 2 cups at a time.

• Mix only until the flour is thoroughly wet.

• Cover with clean towel and leave at room temperature in a draft free place for 12-16 hours.

• Next Morning:

• Stir down mixture.

• Sprinkle a scant teaspoon baking soda and 2 teaspoons salt over the surface of the dough and work into dough.

• Flour board with 1 cup flour and knead until dough is medium stiff - adding more flour as needed. The dough should be moist but not sticking to your hands.

• Once enough flour has been added, knead an additional 5 minutes until the dough forms a smooth ball.

• Roll dough on floured board to about 1/2 inch thick.

• Cut the dough with a 3-4 inch round cutter -- keeping them uniform in thickness and diameter.

• Place them on wax paper sprinkled with corn meal, taking care that they do not touch.

• Sprinkle corn meal over tops of muffins.

• Allow to rise in warm place, covered, for about an hour or until risen again.

• Preheat a griddle or frying pan with small amount of butter (add a little olive oil to keep from smoking). If using muffin rings, preheat them on the grill.

• Using a low flame or heat setting, bake one side for 4-5 minutes and turn. Place lid over the muffins to help them cook all the way through. Turn only once so be sure the one side is cooked before turning.

• Squish down a bit with spatula and pan bake other side for another 4-5 minutes.

• Look like store bought . . . taste even better!
