White rolls

Every week, I make dinner for a group of people attending a parenting class. This week, I made rolls to go with dinner. They are 100% white flour rolls, and they are SO GOOD! They were soft and fluffy and chewy and tasted great! Thanks for the recipe Annett!

Its been forever since I made white rolls, so I had to search my house for white flour, as I usually dont keep it around. I had to bust out the one and only bucket of flour I have in my food storage. If you are just making this recipe for your family (or using a Kitchen Aid), I would suggest halving it. I ended up with a total of 70 rolls. If you do have extra, they freeze well.

WHITE ROLLS

5 c. warm water

3 T. yeast

¾ c. honey

3 T. salt

½ c. powdered milk (this can be omitted without problems)

½ c. potato flakes (this can be omitted without problem if you knead very well)

½ c. oil

4 eggs

Optional: Add any leftover cooked cereal like oatmeal, etc. up to one cup.

Flour till enough (about 14 cups)

Shape into rolls and let rise 1 hour.

Bake 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Stuffed Pizza

I got the idea for this pizza here. Her website puts me to shame. Her food sounds spectacular and she takes great pictures!

Anyway, here is my version of her stuffed pizza.
I think it turned out pretty good. And we devoured it. It was filled with only vegtables, which made Andy grumble, but he ate a good portion of it anyway!
First off, you know I can not bring myself to buy most premade stuff, so I made my own crust. I used this recipe for the crust:

1 1/2 cup water
1 cup sour dough starter
2 cup spelt flour
1 cup amaranth flour1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon Real salt
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon yeast
2 cup white flour
(thanks to the talented Kara for sharing)

I mixed the crust up and let it rest while I picked spinach, peppers, and tomatoes from my garden. Then I chopped them up and steamed some broccoli.

For the inside I used:

1 small crown of broccoli, chopped and steamed
1 small red pepper
2 big handfuls of spinach, cooked on the stove until just wilted
2 tomatoes, chopped
pinch of salt
Ricotta Cheese
5 blend white cheese blend shredded cheese

After I had that all finished, which really was not a lot of work, I assembled the pizza.
I rolled the dough out into 2 9 inch rounds. (i used a 9 inch pie plate) Put one crust on the bottom and them smear some ricotta cheese on the bottom of the crust. Then I added in all the veggies and a bit of salt, and sprinkled a lot of the white cheese blend on top of that. I put the top crust on and sealed all the edges, tearing off any excess dough. I brushed the top with olive oil and sprinkled on some italian seasoning.

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
Since the crust was enough for 4 medium pizzas and I used the equivalent of 2, I rolled out the extra and made cinnamon sticks with it.

Fajita Pitas

ok So I have been trying to lose some weight since having the baby and I have been doing the curves diet, and I tried this recipe for dinner and it was really good and healthy.

Ingredients
tomato
cucumbers
peppers
lettuce
fajita seasoning
boneless skinless chicken
whole wheat pitas

I first boiled the chicken in just water. When it was all cooked I cut it into smaller pieces, then put it in the fry pan and added the fajita seasoning, and about 1/2 cup of water. cook until all of the water is gone. THen you just load up your pita bread with chicken and all the deifferent veggies. It was absolutely wonderful.
Sorry this recipe isn't an exact, just just throw it all together. I don't think you can mess it up. so good luck.

BBQ ribs

I made this last night, my friend gave me a rack of ribs and told me how to cook them. They turned out so moist and yummy!
I would recommend getting a lot more than one rack of ribs, it did not fill up Jared, he ate almost the whole rack, the kids ended up having hot dogs.

Remove large middle bone from ribs, remove excess meat/fat not attached to ribs. Using a butter knife remove membranes from the back side of the ribs.
Using any kind of rub you want (I used one called sweet and smoky) rub both sides of meat.
Fill the bottom of a cookie sheet with water, place ribs on cookie sheet and cover with foil. Bake at 290 degrees for 3 hours. Half way through cooking add BBQ sauce to meat, continue baking. After three hours they are ready for the grill. Add more BBQ sauce to them while they grill on medium heat for about 5 minutes, enjoy!

Grain pancakes

This is Raygon's whole wheat pancakes recipe just changed a bit.
1/2 c wheat flour
1/2 c white wheat flour
1 c kamut flour
1/4 c buckwheat flour
1/4 c coconut flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 c sugar
1/2 c powdered milk

1/3 c oil (I use olive oil or coconut oil)
2 1/2 c water (because the kamut seems to absorb the moisture, I have to add a little tiny bit more water, a few tablespoons maybe)
2 eggs

These pancakes are so delicious!
