Orange Rolls

By -

This is one of the favorite recipes from my childhood, and I would give these a 9. I think the original recipe came from my Grandma Peterson. This is the original recipe, but I have noted my changes in bold.

 Orange Rolls
2 Tbs. yeast
1/2 cup sugar I cut this in half and I can’t tell a difference
1/2 cup butter I use 50% olive oil
4 1/2 cup flour
3 beaten eggs
2 tsp. salt
Filling:
1 cube butter
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbs. orange rind (do not pack)

 Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water and 1 Tbs. sugar. Then pour 1 cup hot water (I use 50% milk) over sugar, butter. Add eggs and salt. Chill overnight. Then roll out in rectangle and spread filling over dough. Roll up and cut with dental floss or string. Let raise double and bake at 425 for 8-12 minutes.
My directions are different. I put flour in the bottom of the Bosch, and then add the sugar and salt. I then add the wet ingredients, and for the 1 cup hot water I do 50% milk. I melt the butter in the microwave and just use room temp ingredients. This dough is sticky, but not insanely so. I run the Bosch for about 5 minutes, maybe a bit less. I put this in the fridge overnight as it says, and then once you roll them out, they rise in about 40 minutes and are ready to go in the oven. I use 1 1/2 times the filling, and a single batch only makes about 2 dozen rolls.

    they rise in the fridge overnight. I cut the sugar down by 1/3 cup in the filling and it was fine.. I use 10 oranges in a double batch of rolls (triple batch of filling). I add the water to the yeast when I let it rise

    For a triple batch I did 3 cubes butter, 10 oranges, and then 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar. This was sweet enough for me, but I would increase it for company. Also, proof the yeast in water. And, I am not convinced the cinnamon roll recipe I blogged from cookingclassy with the buttermilk dough is not a superior sweet dough to use, just FYI.

    I used all buttermilk for the liquid (with the exception of the water to proof the yeast in, and they were much better).

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -
Image
This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
