IAN:Thursday 2/10/2022 Recipes

Here are a few of my fave recipes.  I hope you find something here that you would like to try. If there are any problems with this diary, I had a terrible time with it freezing and not letting me update.  I think I got it right now, but just FYI.

As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!

IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

This is the bread recipe I always use. I mix it in the Kitchen Aid stand mixer and let it rest there before putting it in the bread maker to knead and rise.  Remember, you have to plan ahead for sourdough.

Bread Machine Sourdough

A truly simple sourdough recipe that is kneaded in your bread machine.  A great everyday bread for the sourdough lover.

Prep Time:30 mins/Cook Time:45 mins/rising time:18 hrs

Total Time:19 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients

• 3 cups bread flour 15.85 ounces/ 450 grams
• 1 cup lukewarm water 7.75 ounces/ 220 grams
• 3/4 cup fed sourdough starter 5.65 ounces/ 165 grams
• 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 1 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1.                   Mix the bread flour, starter, sugar, and water in stand mixer or bowl.  It will seem dryer than most sourdoughs, but don't add more water.  Use your hands to make sure everything is incorporated into a ball.  Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let it rest 30 mins on the counter.  (It helps to measure out the salt into a separate container on place it on top of the towel so you don't forget to add it later.)
2.                   Place the dough and salt into the bread machine bucket and select the dough cycle.  The machine will beep when the cycle ends, but let it rise another 2-3 hours in the machine, for a total rise time of 3-4 hours.  The dough should look noticeably puffier, but may not have quite doubled in size.
3.                   Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper and sprinkling with cornmeal.  Take the dough out of the bread machine, and gently shape it into a round or oval loaf.  The dough will be slightly sticky, but dry not to use any flour when shaping it.  Place on the prepared baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
4.                   Place the covered loaf in the refrigerator to proof overnight.  Anywhere from 8-16 hours will be fine.
5.                   In the morning, preheat the oven to 450 degrees with two racks: one in the center, one in the lower middle.  Place an empty rimmed baking sheet on the lower rack while the oven is preheating.  Remove the loaf from the fridge and gently rub with flour.  Slash the loaf with a lame or sharp serrated knife.
6.                   When the oven has preheated, pour 1 cup of water onto the empty baking sheet to create steam.  Immediately place the loaf inside, close the door, and bake for 45 minutes.  Let cool on a wire rack for at least 4 hours before slicing. 7.  Store at room temperature, well wrapped, for up to three days.
