I like to make a mixture of chopped tomatoes (seeds removed), minced garlic, minced basil, olive oil, and some sea salt (at room temp) and top each piece of toasted bread with some of the tomato mixture. Then sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella cheese and some grated Parmesan cheese, and stick it under the broiler until the cheese is melted and just turning brown. Yummy!
sure..its the easiest.. all you need are ripe tomatoes, basil,garlic ,salt %26amp; pepper





put the tomatoes with their skin in boiling water, till the skin peels, cut these into square pieces,


put a tea spoon of olive oil in a pan add garlic to the hot oil,


add the tomatoes in the pan


add salt %26amp; pepper as per taste


add basil to this mixture and take it off the stove





when the mixture cools you could spread it on the gralic bread..it tastes best when served at room temperature add a dash of basil on top for granish

Favorite homemade bread recipes?

So I don't have a bread machine, and that seems to be an item that every bread maker uses now. What are your favorite homemade bread recipes that do not include spicy things (like jalapeno and whatnot) and doesn't use a bread machine?Favorite homemade bread recipes?
I hate hard crusts and coarse-crumbed homemade bread. I've made bread by hand and in a machine and never been satisfied until yesterday, when I used the following recipe to make this incredibly soft bread. No bread machine necessary.





SOFT WHITE SANDWICH BREAD


This Amish White Bread recipe is simple and makes perfect sandwich bread! This recipe makes a sweet, soft white bread that's perfect for sandwiches, toast, rolls, or just on it's own! Wheat flour can be substituted, if you prefer for an equally as yummy wheat bread!





* 2 cups warm water (110-115潞F)


* 2/3 cups white sugar


* 1-1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast


* 1-1/2 teaspoons salt


* 1/4 cup vegetable oil


* 6 cups bread flour





Step1: Using a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. After the sugar is dissolved, stir in the yeast, and allow the mixture to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.





Step2: Into the yeast mixture, add the salt and the oil. Gradually mix in the flour, only one cup at a time. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and place in a well oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and allow to rise until doubled in bulk. This usually takes about one hour.





Step3: After the dough has finished rising, knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. If you have a scale, weigh out the pieces to ensure even baking. Shape each piece of dough into loaf shape, and place into two well oiled 9 by 5 inch loaf pans. Allow the dough to rise for thirty more minutes, or until dough has risen about one inch above the pans.





Step4: Bake the loaves at 350潞F for about thirty minutes, until golden brown on top.





Let it cool completely before you try to slice it, and a use a sharp, serrated blade.Favorite homemade bread recipes?
Basic Yeast Dough





1 pkg yeast (2 - 1/4 teaspoons)


3 cups of bread flour


1 tablespoon sugar


1 teaspoon salt


1 tablespoon oleo, butter or vegetable shortening


1 tablespoon powdered milk (optional but it makes a nice, soft bread)


1 cup of water no hotter than 120 degrees F





In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/8 cup of warm water, 110F to 115F degrees and a small pinch of sugar to feed the yeast. Let sit 10 minutes or until foamy.





Add the rest of the water, powdered milk, shortening and 1 cup of flour. Beat well. Add salt and more flour. If you're using an electric mixer, it might begin to labor - use a wooden spoon to stir in as much flour as you can. Dump the dough out onto a clean surface and knead the rest of the flour into it.





Grease a large bowl and put the dough into it, turning it over so that the top of the dough is greased as well. Cover with a towel and let sit in a warm place one hour or until doubled in size.





Deflate the dough and shape into a loaf or buns as desired. Let rise another 30 minutes or so, until puffy. Bake in a preheated 375F degree oven for approx 11 minutes for rolls - a loaf of bread will take longer.





Makes 1 loaf or 8 sandwich buns, 12 dinner rolls or 24 tiny rolls

Im allergic to wheat gluten, so no noodles or bread.Any tips on quick dinner recipes?

How about rice instead--I prefer it over noodles anyway. Brown up some chicken breasts--cook some rice. In a 13x9 pan, put the rice on the bottom, then cooked chicken breasts. Top with cream of mushroom soup(thick) bake long enough to heat it all the way through.Im allergic to wheat gluten, so no noodles or bread.Any tips on quick dinner recipes?
My friend is allergic to wheat gluten too. She eats a lot of salads, chicken and fish. But she also found that she can buy gluten free pasta/pizza/mac%26amp;cheese, etc. You should check out stores in your area to see if there are any that sell gluten free products. She also uses semolina or almond flour for different foods like chicken parmesan since she can't use bread crumbs. You should try that out as well. Hope this helps!Im allergic to wheat gluten, so no noodles or bread.Any tips on quick dinner recipes?
Try the internet. My sister is the same way. She got a listing of all foods, brands and recipes she can enjoy.





She makes her own bread from rice flour and so forth. You might check into amish stores as well for gluten free food and flour.





:)
I bet you can find some type of pasta that has no wheat gluten. It would probably be like tofu or soy or something, so make a very nice sauce with it. Pretty much Ragu with herbs like oregano, garlic powder, chives, and parsley. Also adda splash of olive oil and let it bubble for a little while to get rid of some of the water. The oil will help keep the sauce moist and also thicken it slightly.
I wish i could help you more but without going next door to my neighbor,who is a celiac ,I'm afraid i can only tell you what he does. He buys special bread on prescription (from the docs) he gets gluten free products from Lidles,Sainsburys and Asda, i know these include special pizza bases ,,all kinds of ingredients for curries . lots of cakes ,biscuits and of course you can add vegetables to meats to make dishes quickly.


If you havnt allready tried gluten free bread ,then do
I make a great zucchini lasagne. Simply thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise and par cook in the microwave or oven until limp but not fully done. Layer these slices as you would lasagne noodles with a mixture of ricotta or cottage cheese, a beaten egg, grated parm. and mozzerella cheeses, pinch of salt, pepper and parsely, in an oiled caserole dish with your favorite homemade or jarred marinara sauce on bottom and top. Add lots of extra mozzerella on top and bake uncovered @ 350 for about 30 mins., until bubbly and slightly brown on top. Salad on side, it's a meal.
I have celiac, and it's much more than just avoiding wheat, noodles and bread. Many processed foods contain ';modified food starch'; and ';caramel coloring';, which is often made from wheat. I read labels, and prepare most things from scratch. But that doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself. You can still have just about anything else. Some quick meal ideas would be grilled, baked, poached or pan sauteed fish, meat or chicken. If you want to make a gravy, just use cornstarch or potato starch instead of flour to thicken. A good basmati or jasmine rice beats pasta anyday. And as long as you don't fry them in batter, any veg is also a-okay. It was a pain in the neck in the beginning, and I did really crave bread...but I promise you it gets easier, until it becomes 2nd nature. Check out your local health food store for the gluten free section. There are good crackers and pretzels, and even tortillas made with brown rice for decent wraps or quesadillas. It's harder to find bread that doesn't taste and feel like sandpaper. Ener-G Tapioca bread is the best I've found so far...not outstanding, but makes a decent sandwich when toasted. Hope this helps!

I, too, have celiac, and I still rely on the tried and true - throw something on the grill (fish, meat or veg), make a nice green salad with home-made vinagrette, and bake a spud (top with butter and fresh snipped herbs). You'd have that kind of meal in a restaurant and be darned happy. I also buy some of Amy's gluten free frozen entrees, and for my ';bread'; fix I go to Whole Foods becuase their corporate bakery chef in NC is also celiac and their line of gluten free items (minus the hamburger rolls, which frankly are heavy and dreadful) are quite good. Also try Gillian's French Rolls (frozen) - very delicate and flavorful.
www.outback.com online order off the gluten free menu!! P.S. Outback steakhouse even carries a gluten free beer!! Some celiacs have never been able to taste a beer, be we carry the gluten free menus and beer and prepare all gluten free orders in a ';sterile'; environment. U should check us out!
Have you ever tried zucchini ribbon? Just use a veg. peeler to make long, thin strips of fresh zucchini or summer squash. Saute them up in a bit in EVOO or butter S%26amp;P. Yum! Add a sauce if you want.

  • Fat free Vegetarian Banana Bread recipes?

    This one is super yummy!








    http://www.vegfamily.com/vegan-recipes/b鈥?/a>Fat free Vegetarian Banana Bread recipes?
    Bananas are fruit, not meat last time I checked...


    Here looks like a yummy recipe:


    http://www.grouprecipes.com/s/fat-free-b鈥?/a>

    Can I please get a couple of recipes for ';garlic bread?'; Actually, just the stuff to put on the bread?

    I don't know what kind of bread I will be using. Maybe just plain white bread, I don't know. No more than 4 or 5 ingredients please.


    Thanks.Can I please get a couple of recipes for ';garlic bread?'; Actually, just the stuff to put on the bread?
    For my garlic bread, I do the following:





    * Put in a food processor some cloves of garlic and basil. I chop this all pretty fine.


    * Mix the chopped garlic and basil into some softened, unsalted butter.


    * Add some parmesan cheese and salt to taste


    * Spread over some Italian bread and put in the oven until warm and crusty





    It's really easy and really yummy and you can top it with extra cheese before putting it in the oven.Can I please get a couple of recipes for ';garlic bread?'; Actually, just the stuff to put on the bread?
    First off..no plain white bread. Get yourself a loaf of crusty Italian or French bread.





    Easy recipe:





    Set oven to 450


    Slice bread loaf down middle lengthwise, exposing middle. Then slice into manageable pieces.


    Spread each slice with a good amnt of butter or margarine.


    Sprinkle each slice liberally with garlic powder.


    Add black pepper (cracked is better)


    Sprinkle small amnt of red pepper flakes


    bake in oven for appx 10 mins, take out when toasty or earlier if soft bread is preferred.





    Somewhat harder recipe:


    Slice same bread as before


    Set oven to 450


    Take whole clove of garlic and put in oven for appx 15-20 mins (do not open clove!). It's done when the ';paper'; gets a litttle black.


    Open clove and squeeze out the yummy roasted garlic paste into a small bowl.


    Add black pepper, red pepper and garlic powder to taste.


    Spread butter/margarine on bread slices


    spread garlic mix over bread


    bake for appx 10 min, keep an eye out for burning, dont overcook





    Enjoy and serve with favorite pasta dishes...


    You can also add small amounts of parmesian, romano or mozarella cheese if so desired.


    A little dried basil never hurt either.
    A stick of butter


    4 to 5 garlic cloves chopped


    Basil (optional)


    Parmesan cheese (optional)





    Melt the butter on low heat and add the chopped garlic. Simmer on low until garlic is soft. Do not brown the garlic. It will get bitter. You can sprinkle dried basil on the bread and/or Parmesan cheese. Use a pastry brush to spread the butter mixture on the bread. If using french bread and you like softer garlic bread, wrap it in foil and open it the last 5 minutes for a little crunch. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until warm and crisp.
    It don't really how you make it, or how much time you spend preparing it, the end result is usually about the same. The easiest way to do it is this. Butter the face of the bread, and when your done, sprinkle garlic salt across it. And if you want it to look fancy, sprinkle a little parsley on it when your all done.
    I use french bread or whole wheat baguettes if I can find them. I slice them in half lengthwise and spread fat free plain yogurt on them, dust with garlic powder, and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.





    A variation on that is to sprinkle grated parmesan or asiago cheese on the top before baking.
    I use Italian Bread, sliced in half through the middle, melt about 1 1/2 sticks of butter, add 3-4 tbs of garlic powder, or mince 4-5 cloves of fresh garlic, add a little salt. Place in toaster oven and wait until top turns golden brown. Add parsley for garnish.
    When all I have is white bread, I make this:





    spread butter on the bread and sprinkle a little salt, garlic powder, and italian seasoning on each slice. I throw it under the broiler for about 5 minutes. My husband calls this my I forgot to go to the store garlic bread. My kids love it.
    1/2 cup butter


    1 or 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced


    Preparation:


    Beat 1/2 cup butter; blend in garlic. Spread on bread for garlic bread or use on seafood, fish, or vegetables.

    i love all of these methods the taste is phenomenal :D


    good luck


    happy new year %26lt;3
    I mix a little softened butter, granulated garlic, a pinch italian seasoning, and a little onion powder. Just mix and your set.
    Your choice of bread


    Melted Butter


    Fresh Garlic, finely chopped


    Oregano





    mix it all together and spread over the bread and bake til golden brown
    this may sounds really simple but u can use white bread or like french bread cut in half. for the ';spread'; butter with garlic or garlic salt if u dont have any and if u want cheese then any kind of shredded works well
    use a long french bread...cut it in half...melt butter...add garlic powder and italian seasonings...spread on the bread, wrap bread in foil,bake in oven for about 15-20 minutes.
    1 pound of softened butter, 4 cloves of garlic minced, touch of paprika.

    Got any good cream cheese spread recipes to put on zucchini bread?

    Plain, softened cream cheese would be fine, or you could add some light herbs to it (oregano, basil, rosemary). If you put cinnamon in the batter, you could add a quick dash of cinnamon, but I don't think too much flavoring would go well with zucchini bread

    What is the best way to make bread? I am thinking in terms of technique as opposed to recipes. Secrets?

    This is a recipe, but it contains many techniques which are useful.


    I have used it and even successfully made bread in a toasting oven.

    Combine a 7gm sachet of dried yeast with half a cup of warm water in a small bowl: stir in 1 teaspoon of caster sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 5 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.





    Sift 2 cups of unbleached plain flower, and mix with 2 cups plain wholemeal flour, add 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons dried wholemilk powder and 1 tablespoon caster sugar into a large bowl.





    Make a well in the centre, add yeast, quarter cup cooking oil and 1 cup warm water.





    Using hands or large spoon, mix to a soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface, Knead ten minutes or until smooth and elastic. If needed incorporate up to half cup extra flour until dough is not sticky.





    Place in large lightly oiled bowl. Leave, covered with a teatowel in a warm place for 1 hour or until well risen. Punch dough down, and knead for 1 minute.





    Divide and shape into loaves or rolls. Leave covered with plastic wrap for 45 minutes or until well risen. Place in a tin which has been lightly oiled with butter or oil. Or mould into free-form shapes and place on a greased baking tray.





    Bake in tins in a 210 degree C (Gas 190 c) oven for 10 minutes, lower heat to 180 c - bake an extra 30-40 minutes.





    Bake free form loaves in a 210 c oven for 10 minutes - lower heat to180c and cook for 20-30 minutes. Cooking times will depend on size of loaves or rolls. To test for doneness, tap bottom of bread with knuckles. A hollow sound indicates bread is done.


    Note. Dough is enough for 1 large, 2 medium or 3 small loaves, or 16-24 rolls.


    If white bread is preferred replace the 2 cups of wholemeal flour with another 2 cups of plain flour.What is the best way to make bread? I am thinking in terms of technique as opposed to recipes. Secrets?
    There are different kinds of breads: quick breads, that you mix and bake, such as maybe your favorite banana bread recipe. These are not typically crusty good breads, but more cake like. If you want to bake real bread, you need to follow all the steps for proofing, and letting it rise in a warm area. Also the type of flour you use will make a difference as will the freshness of your yeast and all the other ingredients as well.
    I used to make bread and had the sme problem, then I bought a bread maker and I have fantastic bread every time now...;
    Hhhmmm yummy, now i want bread.





    Well i have never made bread before, but know i really really want to, i can suggest going on to the bbc website they have a very good receipe ideas and suggestions section.





    And you can choose which famous chefs ideas you want to use, its a really good site to visit.
    I'm partial to my bread machine.
    Sounds like you need better flour. If Tesco's strong flour is all you can get, add a crushed up vitamin C tablet to improve it.





    When you're knocking back the dough, think of Tony Blair. It helps no end.
    Hate to say it but.those bread making machines are meant to be quite good !!
    The best bread has some of yesterdays dough in it.
    Hi Peter,





    I have a machine and from day one I have never had a bad loaf.





    Little tip, use the strongest flour you can get, and use fresh yeast, chat up your local baker he or she will maybee give you some free if you ask them nicely.





    I regularly talk to my local baker, he mentioned something about mixing up the yeast, sugar and salt and powdered milk out of the machine first, but please check with your local baker first as it was a while ago he told me this and I haven't made bread for about 8 months as I have many illnesses and disabilities and haven't been very well most times.





    However I do remember him telling me that if I want that nice smelling and tasting bread then you have to use fresh yeast, just mix up some and have a smell.





    Regarding the dark or crispy bread, I either give it extra time or leave it in the maker untill you are happy with the bread, but not too long or it will go a bit soggy.





    Good luck mate, I do hope have helped you, please let me know how you get on.





    Jimmy from Essex England
    YOU NEED TO BE VERY HEAVY HANDED TOO MAKE GOOD BREAD, MAKE SURE YOU KNEED IT VERY WELL, FOR THE CRISPY CRUST YOU NEED TO BRUSH THE LOAF WITH EGG AND MILK BEFORE YOU BAKE,

    Difficulty Easy


    Prep. Time 20 minutes


    Cook Time 1 hour


    Introduction


    I never cared for zucchini bread, so I played with a recipe until I got what I wanted. It has a nice moist texture and a deliciously rich flavor. It's great spread with cream cheese for breakfast. This is one of the breads I make at Christmas as gifts, baked in small foil pans.


    Ingredients














    2 cups shredded zucchini(about 3 medium zucchini)


    2 cups all purpouse flour


    1/2 cup whole wheat flour


    1 cup granulated sugar


    1 tsp salt


    1 tsp baking soda


    2 tsp cinnamon


    2 tsp vanilla


    1/2 tsp baking powder


    3 eggs


    3/4 cup applesauce


    1/4 cup vegetable oil


    1/3 cup molasses


    1 cup chopped nuts


    1 cup chopped raisins (process nuts and raisins together in food processor for best results)

















    Directions


    Step: 1 Grate zucchini and place on a plate covered with paper towels to drain off excess moisture.


    In a large bowl combine eggs, oil, sugar, molasses and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and foamy. Beat in applesauce. Combine dry ingredients and stir to blend well. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture and stir just until blended. Add zucchini, nuts and raisins and blend gently. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 5X9 loaf pans. Bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.


    let bread cool slightly in pans and then turn out on racks to finish cooling, covered with a clean tea towel.


    Store breads in an airtight container.


    This bread keeps up to 2 weeks if stored in the fridge.

    Title: ZUCHINI BREAD


    Categories: Breads


    Yield: 4 Servings





    6 ea Eggs


    2 c Oil

    1/2 ts Baking powder

    Combine ingredients in Large bowl, mix well. Pour into greased and


    floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Serve hot or cold with


    butter, cream cheese, or just plain. Mmmmm. Variations: Applesauce or


    pumpkin bread - use same as zuchini, but add 3 cups water and 4 tsp


    ginger. Another thing I did often, was bake the batter in


    cupcake/muffin tins. Then when the kids wanted a snack, they could


    just take ';one'; without the worry or mess of slicing from the loaf.
    Not sure if this helps you out but it's a great recipe for zucchini cake. My zucchini plants provide an overabundance of zucchini so I grate them into 2 cup servings and freeze. Whenever I want zucchini cake I just take a package out of the freezer.

    I don't really like sweet dishes so the ones above don't attract me. In my family it was always a savory bread. Yes, I like shortcuts like the biscuit one...Pillsbury, hey? Then roll them lavishly in butter


    %26amp; olive oil, melted with any seasoning you love: Garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley....anyway the list is unlimited! Parmesano cheese.....Use a fancy funnel pan ('cus it's fun %26amp; beautiful). Roll in seasoned oil then plop each piece into your pan until it's pretty full. Bake @ 325 * until it looks nicely browned. Turn onto a serving platter %26amp; have guests pull it apart as they might. Loved your question! I wanna make some today...it's been a long time!! Thank you for reminding me of this fun bread!!

    I was wondering if anyone has any recipes for stuffed mushrooms without bread crumbs or sausage?

    Gluten allergy in the family, also sometime quick and simple...I was wondering if anyone has any recipes for stuffed mushrooms without bread crumbs or sausage?
    We use rice with finely chopped veggies and seasoning of choice, or U can try something with millet. The millet is so mild it can be flavored like anything U want -- say sausage. Then there is always tofu, which can be flavored like anything U want. Tofu can be made to imitate sausage or bacon or chili. Diced red onions are colorful and flavorful.I was wondering if anyone has any recipes for stuffed mushrooms without bread crumbs or sausage?

    If you have some eggs you can make Welsh Rarebit:





    Ingredients


    25g/1oz butter


    25g/1oz flour


    150ml/5fl oz milk


    175g/6oz cheddar cheese, grated


    150ml/5fl oz brown ale (optional)


    1 tsp English mustard


    2 tsp Worcestershire sauce


    salt and pepper


    2 egg yolks


    4 slices of toast





    Method


    1. Make a roux with the butter and flour, and leave to cool.


    2. Bring the milk to the boil, then whisk it into the roux. Bring to the boil once again, whisking to ensure that it does not burn and also that the sauce is free of lumps.


    3. Add the cheese, beat in and remove from the heat.


    4. Reduce the ale, English mustard and Worcestershire sauce. When thick, add this mixture to the cheese sauce. Season well with salt and pepper and beat in the egg yolks.


    5. Spoon on to the slices of toast and grill until bubbling. Serve with extra Worcestershire sauce handed separately. Hope you enjoy it.What are some recipes you can make out of plain sliced-bread and cheese?
    To make a decent rarebit ( I hate to have to disagree here), you dont even need eggs, although the beer is preferable.





    Make a basic bechemele sauce by melting 2 Tbsp butter in a saucepan. Add 2 Tbsp flour, and stir until foaming stops. Add 1-1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup beer (ale works best, since lagers are to light and stouts get too bitter). Bring to a boil and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and slowly add 1 cup shredded cheese until completely melted. Serve with toast.

    Take a slice of cheese on top of one slice of bread. If you have a tomato, slice a thin slice and put on top of the cheese.

    From the website





    FLOUR:


    Flour is the basic ingredient and backbone in baking. The most commonly used flours are milled from wheat. The types of wheat grown in America can be separated into two basic categories, hard or soft. The main difference between the two is the protein quantities in the wheat.





    Hard wheat contain higher levels of two specific proteins glutenin and gliadin and is milled into strong flours. These two proteins form gluten when flour is moistened and mixed. Hard wheat flours are High-gluten, first clear, patent, bread flour, whole wheat and bran flour.





    Soft wheat contains less protein and is milled into weak flours. Weak flours have less moisture and starch. These types of flours are cake flour and pastry flour. All-purpose flour is a combination of 40% cake flour and 60% bread flour.





    Once flour is milled, it can be stored to age for 6-8 months. During this time, it goes through a chemical change as oxygen bleaches the flour, as well as maturing the proteins so they will be stronger and more elastic. To avoid the need to store material for this period of time, flour millers add very small amounts of ascorbic acid and chlorine which matures and bleaches the flour much more quickly without taking out any nutritional value. All flour is fortified to meet FDA standards and must contain vitamin B, D and iron.





    The wheat kernel consists of three main parts:





    1. The bran is the hard outer covering of the kernel. It is present in whole wheat flours as tiny brown flakes, but is removed when milling white flours.





    2. The germ is the part of the kernel that will become the new wheat plant if the kernel sprouted. It has a high fat content, which can quickly become rancid.





    3. The endosperm is the starchy part of the kernel that remains when the bran and the germ are removed. It is this portion of the wheat kernel that is milled into white flour.





    HARD WHEAT FLOURS:


    bran flour - flour which the bran flakes have been added. The bran may be coarse or fine.


    bread (patent) flour - comes from the center of the wheat kernel. It has a lot of elasticity, and produces a moister product than high-gluten flour.


    cracked wheat - same as whole wheat, but milled more coarsely.


    first clear flour - used to mix with rye and pumpernickel to give them the gluten they lack.


    graham flour - milled from whole wheat, but much finer.


    high-gluten flour - the whole wheat kernel of the wheat is used and results in a drier product with a harder crust.


    whole wheat flour - made by grinding the entire wheat kernel, including the bran and germ. Since it is made from the whole kernel, it has some gluten and can be used alone in bread making, however the end result of 100% whole wheat is heavier than white bread.





    SOFT WHEAT FLOURS:


    All-purpose flour - a combination of 40% cake flour and 60% bread flour.


    cake flour - comes from the center of the endosperm and is fine-textured, silky flour which keeps cakes and pastries tender and delicate.


    pastry flour - has poor gluten quality and is used in baked goods with low amounts of leavening (pies, cookies, biscuits).


    rye - milled much like whole wheat, but comes from rye grain. It has a low gluten content.


    pumpernickel 鈥?same as rye meal. Made as a dark, coarse meal from the entire rye grain kernel, including the bran.
    Bread flour as a higher proten contain tha all purpose. It make the bread proof better.
    Bread Flour





    A type of flour that was developed specifically for bread making. Bread flour is unbleached, high-gluten flour that typically contains 99.9 % hard wheat flour with malted barley added to increase the yeast activity. The high gluten content is necessary in order for bread to rise effectively. Another ingredient that is often added to the flour is potassium bromate, which increases the elasticity of the gluten.


    The use of bread flour results in larger bread loaves with a lighter and less crumbly texture. It should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry location. Bread flour is most often used in the commercial baking industry and is often confused with gluten flour, which has a higher gluten content than bread flour.





    You can use regular flour, but it makes a more dense loaf. After trying bread flour, I keep it on hand all the time. I like the lighter loaves.
    The consistency of bread flour is coarser. It will make a difference in a bread machine if you use reg. flour because it is lighter and will rise over the top of your machine. Bread flour is beside the reg. flour in the store. You can get white or wheat.

    What kind of HEALTHY recipes can I make with whole wheat Pita bread and Tortillas?

    I love vegetables and I need some healthy recipes for whole wheat pita bread and whole wheat tortillas... what can i make with them? Thanks.What kind of HEALTHY recipes can I make with whole wheat Pita bread and Tortillas?
    I like to fill pita with hard salami and parsley (you could substitute leaner meat, though). Parsley is a great sandwich green and is friggin' loaded with vitamins and minerals.





    Another favorite of mine is to make enchiladas with home-made red sauce. (Use lean meat like chicken breast and use a low-fat cheese. Authentic Mexican food doesn't have as much cheese as Americanized Mexican food anyhow.)





    Red sauce:


    Heat a few Tbsp. of oil in a 2qt. pot and add an equal amount of flour. Heat and stir until the combo (roux) bubbles for a minute or so.


    Add ~1/2 cup of paprika (sounds weird, but bear with me...) and a little cayenne or other spicy ground red pepper to taste and continue to stir. You may need to add a little more oil.


    Once this is mixed thoroughly and heated (you want the paprika to toast a bit) add ~ 1 1/2 c. water and stir with heat until the sauce thickens. (If sauce is too thick, add more water. Too thin, add a little corn starch/water slurry. You want it to be kinda like pizza sauce consistency.)


    Salt to taste.


    Fill tortugas with chicken, cheese, onions, olives, cilantro, whatever the hell you want. Have fun with it!


    Put ~a third of the sauce in the pan, layer the enchiladas on top, then spread the rest of the sauce on them. Top with a little more cheese.


    Bake @ 375F for about 40 min (until sauce is bubbling and cheese browns a little).





    I love this recipe and always make it with whole wheat tortugas (good source of fiber) and this red sauce (TONS of vitamin A and other antioxidants).





    I never use a recipe, so your results may vary. But it's cheap and pretty easy, so a few practice batches won't be too hard.


    (Everyone tells me that they're WAY better than anything from any Mexican restaurant they've had!)What kind of HEALTHY recipes can I make with whole wheat Pita bread and Tortillas?
    Hi, again! :)


    I buy whole wheat everything.. from bread to pita bread to tortillas, spaghetti - anything that you can buy in a whole wheat option is the best for your health, and personally, I think it tastes better too.


    I'm looking forward to seeing what recipes the first answerer puts! Those sound delicious.. Anyways, I keep Pita Bread and Tortillas around all the time and really, I don't have any specific recipes, but there are so many different ways you can use them. Just use your imagination and add whatever you want. From raw vegetables to cooked it doesn't matter. I like to eat my pita bread with salad. It's also good to make Pita bread sandwiches, just use add everything you would add to a normal sandwich except don't use regular bread. Heat it in the microwave for a sec. and it's good to go! And yes, making Pita Pizzas is so good! I use organic pizza sauce (from the jar- never the can ewe) and add some shredded pizza cheese (or something light like Swiss) and add some cooked meat (if you like meat) and all the vegetables in your fridge - it's delicious. I'm a veggie fanatic and I cannot get enough of them! I love avocadoes too! They're very good on pita bread with the right combination of vegetables.





    Avocado Pita Sandwich


    1/2 of a large avocado


    1 teaspoon Miracle Whip or Mayo


    Chili Powder, Salt, Pepper, and Lemon Juice to taste.


    Mash the avocado and add all the ingredients. Be careful not too add too much of everything, or it will be too strong. This is a simple Pita sandwich and it tastes delicious!





    For whole wheat tortillas, yummm.. truthfully, I can just eat a tortilla alone by itself without anything else... but you can do so much with them! For dessert, try making:





    Cherry Burritos. They're not like real burritos, but use some canned cherries (like the kind you buy for pie fillings) and heat them up. Put about two Tbsp. (or however much you like) on the center of the tortilla, and maybe add about a drop of vanilla (totally optional), and roll up like you would a soft taco, or a burrito. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and a little sugar. You can do this with any kind of fruit - and it doesn't have to be canned. It will probably be a little better with canned just because it's sweeter, but with fresh it's much healthier! Try this with berries!


    Make Tortilla Pizzas. Just like the Pita bread, add the pizza sauce on top and add your favorite toppings. It's just like a normal pizza but the tortilla is the crust. Very good!





    Hope this helps and have fun with them!
    i know of two different recipes one involving pite bread and tortilla's the one involving pita bread is very good it has leeks,cottage cheese,feta cheese,two eggs and some butter, and the other one involving tortilla is kinda like making ur own torilla chips but you can put like salsa, cheese and any type of spices on it and bake it(i will add how to make them later)
    You can make mini pizzas with them, use some tomato or even spaghetti sauce. Add all of the vegtables you like...brocoli, artichoke hearts, olives, spniach, mushrooms...etc...you can add some fat free swizz cheese on top if you would like. Let it bake for a few minutes.


    You can play around with them and make a lot of delicious treats!!!

    . Fry the onions in about 2 Tbsp. of oil over medium/high heat


    till they are lightly golden. Add the meat, raise the heat


    to high and keep frying till all the juices are absorbed.


    If you want to add any garlic, it may be added at the same


    time as the meat.





    . When the juices are absorbed, add the spices


    (salt, black pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper)


    and fry for a minute or so (don't over fry).


    Add the canned tomatoes and bring to a simmer.


    If you use whole tomatoes, cut them into big chunks.





    . Add the lemon juice and simmer gently for about 2 hours,


    or till the meat is done to your satisfaction (fork tender).


    If the sauce looks too thin, add the 1 - 2 Tbsp.


    tomato paste to thicken it. If the sauce is too thick,


    add water as needed.





    . While the meat is simmering, prepare the green beans.


    Make sure they are clean and dry first. Fry them in 1 - 2 Tbsp.


    of vegetable oil over medium/high heat.


    Don't over fry the beans. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.





    . When the meat is half way done, add the green beans and


    bring back to a simmer.


    When the meat is done to your satisfaction, the sauce should be thick.





    . Green Bean Stew is best to serve with hot basmatti rice or any other rice.





    Also you can use fresh tomatoes instead.


    Substitute about 2 pounds of skinless, seeded tomatoes.
