honey whole wheat bread recipe

Posted on 08/01/2013 | 39 comments

**update this was called Ezekiel bread–the name of the recipe I had got it from. But I have learned it is not Ezekiel bread. I changed it to what I would call it.

This is a wonderful, light and sweeter tasting bread. It is a favorite of our families. Very simple to make.

3 pkg yeast
5 cups warm water
1 T plus 2/3 cups honey
2/3 cups oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 t salt
4 c flour
1 c wheat germ
6-8 cups more flour

First get your yeast mixture going. I add 1 cup warm tap water, 3 pkg yeast (or 3 T if you are using the bulk mix), and 1 T honey.

While your yeast is rising, I add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl.

4 cups warm water, 2/3 cups honey, 2/3 cups oil(I use coconut), 1/2 c sugar(I use raw), 2 t salt. I then add my yeast mixture and whisk away. Then add 4 c flour(I use white whole wheat) and 1 c wheat germ.mix it with your mixer, a whisk, anything that you have will workAfter you have mixed it for about 3 minutes you can add the rest of your flour, 1-2 cups at a timeKeep on mixing the flour into the dough.You will have a nice spongey type dough. I knead it right in the bowl, no need to mess up your countertops. Transfer to a greased bowl and flip it, to coat the top of the dough.Let it sit and rise for an hour or more, just keep punching it down until you are ready to form into loaves.I use stainless steel pans, they cost more, but I have had these for years. It is better for your health, they clean up well, and they are very durable. Invest in a few if you can. Grease your pans before adding your dough.Let rise until the dough almost fills the pan. Then you can preheat your oven to 350 degrees.Place in the oven for 40 minutes. When done let sit on counter for about 10 minutes. Then I pop them out of the pans, if they do not come out right away I just set them on their sides and they will release as they cool.

These freeze well if you are not able to eat them all in a few days. We love ours with butter and homemade freezer jam.

Beef stroganoff in the crockpot recipe

Posted on 07/05/2013 | 8 comments

This is a quick and easy recipe that uses up leftover roast. We make it in the crockpot to avoid “heating up the house” in the warm summer.

In crockpot, add about 1 lb shredded chopped leftover roast. Cover meat with water, add beef bouillon to taste– about 1-2 T,one chopped onion, and 2 cans cream of mushroom soup.

Mix together, then add 1-16 oz container of sour cream.

Cook 2 pkg wide curly ribbon noodles till almost but not quite done. Add to crockpot, then turn on low for 2 hours.

Very simple easy summer meal.

Stuffed Pizza Shells recipe

Posted on 07/04/2013 | 9 comments

We made 3 pans of this last evening and was able to be a blessing to a couple families so they wouldn’t have to make dinner tonight. It goes together quick and is a nice change from lasagna or pizza casserole. Try it tonight with your family.

If you know me and my cooking, I cook by tasting everything to see how the flavors mold together, I suggest you do the same, experiment see what flavors and things you would like to add to this dish.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef with onion and garlic to taste
2 cans diced tomatoes
1/2 package of pepperoni cut up
2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
flavorings, chopped onions, minced garlic, basil and oregano add all of these into it, start small and add more as you like
1box jumbo shells
1 jar of spaghetti sauce

start by browning your hamburger, at this point you can add onion and garlic. Add 1/2 of a chopped onion and a Tablespoon of minced garlic as your meat is browing.
