Using my new KitchenAid...

My honeys parents bought me... I mean us a kitchenaid for Christmas... I like it.



Goat Cheese Ricotta




So much better than goin out to dinner!


Bread
2 cups warm (almost hot) water
4 tsp. yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar
-Combine together and let rise for 5 minutes

1/4 cup oil
5 cups bread flour
2 tsp. salt
-Add to yeast mixture and knead until smooth and elastic.

Cover and let rise for 20-25 minutes. Beat dough down and make into loaves (this recipe makes 2 loaves). Here's the trick to get your bread to come out right. You need to roll out the bread into a rectangle, then roll up into a loaf, like you would when making cinnamon rolls. Lightly slice top of bread to get diagonal cut look when baked. Cover and let loaves rise (I put my loaves on separate cookie sheets) for 20-25 minutes. Bake on 350* for 20-25 minutes, until top of loaves are golden brown. Let bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

*This is not my recipe, its Gumpsgirl recipe from BackYardChickens*

  1. Whoo hoo! EJ got me a mixer for Christmas about 8 years ago and I just love it. I don't think it's a kitchenaid, I don't remember, but it's nice!
