Cottage Cheese Lavender Herb Bread Abm Recipes

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except cornmeal in bread pan of your bread machine as manufacturer reccomenda. Select dough setting and press start.
• When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. (I use a nonstick cooking spray. Form dough into an oval, cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.
• After resting, turn dough bottom side up and press to flatten. For baguettes (long, slender) or boules (round), divide the dough into 2 pieces and shape. For baguettes, fold dough into an envelope by folding the top 1/3 of the way to the bottom. Then fold the bottom a 1/3 of the way over the top. Then press dough with the palm of your hand to make an indentation down the center of the dough and fold the top completely to the bottom, sealing the seam with the palm of your hand.
• Place on a jelly roll pan dusted with cornmeal. Cover and place in a warm spot to rise until the dough is doubled in bulk, approximately 30 to 50 minutes (depending on how warm your room is).
• Oven Rising:.
• Sometimes I use my oven for the rising. Turn the oven on for a minute or so, then turn it off again. This will warm the oven and make it a great environment for rising bread. If you can't comfortably press your hand against the inside of the oven door, the oven is too hot. Let it stand open to cool a bit.
• Cool or Refrigerator Rise:.
• If I don't have the time to wait for the rise to finish or I know that I will be interrupted before the completed rise, I do a cool rise. A cool rise is when the dough is place in the refrigerator and left to rise slowly over night approximately 8 to 12 hours. I usually do this after the first rise and the dough has been shaped into a loaf.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. After rising, slash or score the loaves with a very sharp knife making three 1/2-inch deep diagonal slashes. Bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned and hollow sounding when tapped.

Steps:

• I made this bread in a bread maker so it is a lot more sticky than a handmade kneaded bread would be,and that is fine. You may have to adjust ingredients to get a consistency that works for you.
• Add ingredients in the order directed by your bread maker but add them in the groups outlined below:If making by hand/in a mixer don't be afraid to adjust the flour and water accordingly.
• Cook the quinoa and allow to cool.(it cooks like rice or similar. Add quinoa, add 2x amount of water and boil, cover and turn off heat.) Either cool all the way or partially.
• Put the sugar and the yeast into the warm water, give them a stir, and let them sit while mixing up everything else.
• Add the flour, salt, seeds and quinoa to the mix.
• Add the eggs and oil and then add the water-sugar-yeast mix. You may need more water.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.
• In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.
• In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks.
• Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
• Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.
• With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
• Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time is not the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).
• Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.
• While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.
• Since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! The choice is up to you, and you will be quite amazed at how much like a bun these really are!

Steps:

• Measure and add ingredients to YOUR bread maker according to YOUR instructions. (Mine takes all liquids first, then dry ingredients, with the yeast last.).
• Select the "Sweet Bread" setting.
• Select "Crust Color" medium.
• Press Start, walk away, come back 2 hours and 50 minutes later to behold your creation!
• Notes:.
• Cottage cheese - I drain all the whey that will readily pour off but don't actually strain it to remove all the liquid. I suppose the drained liquid could replace all or part of the water but I haven't tried it.
• Dough Consistency - As with all bread recipes, more flour or water may be needed depending on the humidity. Watch during the first knead & if the bread looks too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough gathers up. Likewise, if the dough looks to wet (my machine makes a louder noise when this is the case) sprinkle in flour.

Steps:

• soften yeast in warm water.
• bring butter, cheese and egg to room temperature mix all ingredients except flour. add yeast to this mixture and mix well.
• gradually add enough flour to make a firm dough.
• cover and let rise 1 hr or until doubled.
• punch down and put in a well buttered 1 1/2 qt casserole. cover and let rise 30 minutes.
• bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
• turn out and brush with butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. serve warm or cold.
