Blueberry Bagels

Posted Mon, 07/04/2011 - 08:02 by Audrey

I love blueberry bagels and cream cheese. They're probably ... no ... definitely my favorite food. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one food with me (nutritional value aside), I would take blueberry bagels and cream cheese. I've often joked (only somewhat kidding...) that I could go on an all-bagel diet (with some proteins beyond cream cheese thrown in for delicious bagelwiches). In fact, I'm eating a blueberry bagel with cream cheese right now (not even one I made in this recipe... while making this recipe, I ate a storebought blueberry bagel with cream cheese).

Steamed buns with Pork Belly

Posted Tue, 11/16/2010 - 21:02 by Jon

While the entire recipe is far too insanely complicated to repost here, it comes from the Momofuku cookbook.

The ingredients are
steamed buns
roasted pork belly
scallions
sweet pickles
hoisin and siracha sauces

The candied crispies from the roasting of the pork make a fantastic condiment to the buns

Yogurt Sourdough Bread

Posted Sat, 08/29/2009 - 07:20 by Jon

this recipe uses the sourness and bacteria from yogurt to fake a sourdough. It's not fantastic, but it's a lot easier than feeding a starter all the time.

* 1/2 cup plain, nonfat yogurt
* 2/3 cup water
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon margarine or butter, softened
* 3.25 cups bread machine flour
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1.5 teaspoon salt
* 3 teaspoons regular active dry yeast OR
* 2.75 teaspoons bread machine or quick-acting active dry yeast

Egg Bread

This recipe, from Diana's Desserts tasted great, but was not the best for the bread machine - it was super flaky/crumbly, and took some serious effort to extract. Perhaps using the machine to make the dough and then continuing in the oven would work better?

Ingredients for 1 Pound Loaf:
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, cut up
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

An excellent alternative to beef burgers! Mix feta in with the meat for easier "cheeseburger" preparation.

Peasant Bread

Thick and crusty, relatively easy to make. Bonuses, it has almost no fat (it uses steam to keep it moist, but this means it doesn't last long. It's easy to add creativity to the recipe with herbs and cheese. However, this bread is fucking excellent right out of the oven with soft butter and honey.
