Sourdough Sandwich Bread

Categories bread, Fermentation, Recipes, sourdough2 Comments on Sourdough Sandwich Bread

I have been on a sourdough kick recently, I love how versatile it is! You can make pastries, savory snacks, and the best bread ever. I love making the big loaves, but I wanted to try something easier to cut and use for my morning avocado toast. I found this recipe from Stay at Home Sarah and she truly is right on with how easy this sandwich bread is! This recipe makes two loaves which you can easily wrap up and freeze until you’re ready to use!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Softened Butter
  • 2 1/2 Cups Warm Water
  • 1 1/2 Cups Active Sourdough Starter
  • 2 TBSP Honey
  • 1 TBSP Salt
  • 8 Cups Bread Flour

Let’s Get Baking

Using your stand mixer bowl, add in softened butter + warm water + active sourdough starter + honey + salt + half of the flour. Mix with paddle attachment until all the ingredients are combined. Switch to the dough hook and slowly add in the rest of the flour. Knead on low for about 7-8 minutes or until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Place the dough into a buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Leave at room temp to proof for 10-12 hours. The dough will be ready when it’s doubled in size.

After your first proof, lightly coat your loaf pans with oil or butter. Divide the dough in half. Working one at a time, roll the dough into a large rectangle. Stretch the sides and press gently on the dough to release any bubbles. using the short sides, fold the dough into thirds. Starting at the short end, roll the dough up into a log, tuck the ends in underneath. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Place into the prepared pans seam side down. Cover with a damp towel and let proof again. This can take up to about 3-6 hours, or until the dough is about 1in from the pan rim. I completed this second proof in the fridge, but you can also leave it out.

To bake, preheat the oven to 375F and bake for about 40 min. Allow to cool on a wire wrack and let rest 1 hour before slicing.

This makes the best bread that can be used with any toppings imaginable! I have been loving it with avocado + chili oil + a runny egg for my breakfast

Halušky

Categories Recipes2 Comments on Halušky

To complete this weeks theme of recipes from the homeland I bring you Halušky! One of the most simple, delicious meals you might ever have and guess what, it’s a no waste recipe if you are using the leftover cabbage from the Stuffed Cabbage recipe! Let’s get into this recipe and be sure to salute to the motherland before eating.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb Cabbage, cored, boiled, and sliced into long pieces
  • 6-8 slices of Bacon, diced
  • 6 TBSP Butter, cut into individual TBSP
  • 2 cups Onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 1/2 TSP Black Pepper
  • 6 oz Egg Noodles

Let’s Get Cooking

If you are using the left over cabbage that you already used for the stuffed cabbage, you are good to go, just slice length-wise the remaining cabbage. If you haven’t already boiled, don’t worry about it! Just core the cabbage and cut into length-wise pieces.

Get out a large skillet and add 2 TBSP of butter, left that melt and add the diced bacon, cook until it’s slightly crispy. Add in the diced onion and cook until they lighten in color.

Add in 2 more TBSP of butter + cabbage + salt & pepper. Mix until everything is combined, lower the heat to med & cook for about 10 min.

During this time cook the egg noodles by the package directions.

Check and make sure the cabbage is to the doneness of your liking, I like mine a bit more crunchy but that’s completely up to you. Once at your desired doneness, remove cover and add the cooked and drained egg noodles.

Add the remaining TBSP of butter and cook until all is combined.

Serve hot & with all the salt and pepper you desire!

You’ll want to eat the whole pan, trust me it’s hard not to.

Made with Love,

Gnocchi, brussel sprouts, and brown butter, what more could you ask for in a recipe. I am all for savory meals and this recipe ticks off all the boxes. I found this on New York Times Cooking & it is definetly a keeper. This is one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made, you pretty much throw it all in one pan; but don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Brussel Sprouts
  • 2 tsp. Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt + Pepper
  • 1/2 Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 18oz. package shelf-stable or refridgerated potato gnocchi
  • 6 TBSP unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
  • 1/2 tsp. Honey
  • Fresh Parmesan

Let’s Get Cooking

Trim off the ends of the brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Zest the lemon.

In a large skillet, heat 3 TBSP of olive oil over med-high heat. Add in brussels sprouts + salt + pepper.

Arrange brussel sprouts cut side down. Add lemon zest over the top and cook the sprouts without stirring. Once the sprouts are browned and crisped up, add the red pepper flakes and stir for about 2-3 min until tender. Place in a medium bowl.

Using the same skillet, add 1 TBSP olive oil over med-high heat. Add gnocci to the pan and cook covered and undisturbed until golden brown.

Add butter + honey + salt + pepper. Stir until butter is golden, almost nutty smelling, and foaming. Stir in the sprouts until everything is incorporated.

Once in bowls, add grated parmesan on top & enjoy!
