KITTENCAL'S SOFT WHITE BAGUETTE-STYLE BREAD
If you are looking for a wonderful tender no-fail bread that you do not have to bother shaping into bread pans, then this is one that is fantastic! It is so simple to make on a heavy-duty stand mixer, although I have never tried this on a bread machine, I think you might just have good results that way also.

Steps:
- Prepare one large cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or sprinkled with yellow cornmeal.
- Attach the kneader blade to a heavy-duty stand mixer.
- In the stainless steel bowl, dump 3 cups flour (to start) 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Melt the butter or Crisco shortening in the microwave for about 22 seconds then dump into the bowl with the flour, sugar and salt.
- In a small cup add in the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1-1/4 cups warm water; cover with small clean cloth, and proof the yeast for 8-10 minutes, stirring just once with a small spoon or whisk (if the yeast doesn't foam discard and start again).
- After 10 minutes, add in the yeast/water mixture into the bowl and start kneading, adding in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough (careful not to add in too much flour, as this will create a heavy bread!).
- Knead for 7-8 minutes, or until dough is the right texture and is smooth.
- Remove dough from the bowl, and let sit on a lightly floured surface covered with a clean tea towel for 10 minutes (this is important!).
- After 10 minutes, knead very gently (dough will come together nicely).
- Form into a semi-round ball.
- Grease a large glass bowl (I just use the same stainless steel bowl that I made the dough in).
- Place the dough in the oiled bowl; cover with a clean tea towel and set in a warm place to rise aproximmately 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and remove to a floured surface.
- At this point you may cut the dough in half to make two small long breads, or keep into one piece for one large loaf.
- Using hands shape into a rectangle (no need to use a rolling pin this dough will shape very easy).
- Roll up tightly then seal all edges.
- Cover the shaped loaf/s with a clean dry tea towel, and let rise for about 30-35 minutes in a warm place.
- After rising set oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small cup whisk/mix together 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water.
- Lightly brush the egg white mixture over the dough, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 25-33 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Delicious!

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN TOMATO PASTA SAUCE AND PARMESAN MEATBALLS
There is a method to making the perfect sauce and that is a very long slow cooking time then refrigerate to blend the flavors, a good sauce needs time to "ripen" and develop it's full flavor, this sauce must be made a day or even up 4 days ahead in order for the flavors to intensify, the longer you leave it refrigerated the better it will be --- this recipe makes a fair amount use what you need then freeze the rest in plastic containers for another meal, for a quick thaw just pop in the microwave for about 8 minutes or a little more or thaw in refrigerator overnight, if desired you may partially precook the meatballs on a greased baking sheet in oven before adding to the sauce --- you will love this sauce and you will be making it often! ---- also see my recipe#150207

Steps:
- Prepare the meatball recipe as directed on the recipe; transfer to a plate cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use (the meatballs may be prepared up to 1 day in advance).
- Drain the diced tomatoes over a strainer.
- Coat bottom of large heavy-bottomed pot with olive oil, heat over medium heat.
- Saute onion with bay leaf, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper and crushed chili peppers for about 5-7 minutes or until the onions are transparent.
- Add in fresh garlic; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste;mix and stir for about 2 minutes or until well combined with the onion mixture.
- Add in the wine; stir well to combine.
- Add the 2 cans crushed tomatoes (can use 3 cans if you are freezing some sauce) and the drained diced tomatoes, stir and bring to a light boil; boil for 5-8 minutes then reduce heat to low.
- Add in uncooked meatballs to the sauce (if you are adding the meatballs uncooked do not stir for 30 minutes or you may run the risk of them falling apart in the simmering sauce).
- Simmer uncovered on low heat for about 3-5 hours (the longer you simmer uncovered the thicker and richer your sauce will be so don't be afraid to simmer even 6 hours!) adding more salt if desired.
- Skim off any fat that might gather on top of sauce.
- Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate (with the meatballs in the sauce) a minimum of 1 day or up to 4 days before using.
- Use as much as desired then freeze the rest for another meal, just reheat the sauce on top of the stove or heat in microwave (this will freeze well for up to 6 months).
- Note: if desired, you can bake the meatballs in the oven before adding to the sauce.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MEATBALLS
Cooking the meatballs in simmering pasta sauce will not only add so much extra flavor to the sauce the meatballs will be melt-in-your-mouth tender, you may of course oven-bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, --- don't be afraid to add in more Parmesan cheese and a little more milk, there is no need to measure exactly, this recipe is pretty much foolproof, leftover cooked meatballs make a wonderful pizza topping just slice thinly and freeze until ready to use ----- these also make wonderful juicy burgers shaped into patties-- for more of my tried and true recipes check out my food blog at www.kittencalskitchen.com

ITALIAN-STYLE ROLLS
I have made these buns many times, there wonderful with a pasta dinner, they bake out beautifully with a crispy light golden crust, you will get 8 large buns with this recipe! If you reside in the U.S. then use all bread flour, Canadian residents may use all-purpose flour --- I most always add in 1-1/2 cups of finely cubed cheddar towards the end of kneading, it really adds flavor to these buns

Steps:
- Place the kneader attachment onto the stand mixer.
- Proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 3/4 cup water for 10 minutes or until foamy.

- When the yeast has proofed add to the bowl along with 3/4 cup warm water.
- Start kneading adding in more flour only if needed (total kneading time should take about 8 minutes) do not add in too much flour or the buns will be heavy, when finished kneading the dough should feel soft but semi-sticky and smooth and should stick to your hands only slightly when removing from the bowl.
- Remove the dough to a very lightly flour-dusted surface; cover with clean tea towel and let rest 5 minutes.
- Shape into a ball (the dough will come together nicely after resting).
- Place into a large greased deep glass bowl.
- Cover and let rise for about 60-90 minutes.
- To check if the dough is ready to be punched down, very gently stick two fingers about 1/2-inch into the dough, the dough is ready when the finger marks remain.
- Punch down dough and slice in half.
- Slice each half into 4 even pieces.
- Shape each piece into a round ball.
- Place balls spacing well apart onto a 10 x 15-inch greased baking sheet (2 balls across and 4 balls down).
- Cover and let rise 30-40 minutes.
- Bake at 375 for about 22 minutes or until light golden brown.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN BREADED BAKED PARMESAN PORK CHOPS
Use the thick-cut pork chops for this not fast-fry and only dry breadcrumbs for this or they will not hold on to the chops and plan ahead the chops need to sit a room temperature for about 45 minutes before coating --- if desired for a lower fat option you may skip the skillet browning and just bake in the oven

KITTENCAL'S SEASONED DRY ITALIAN BREADCRUMBS
These are so much better than any store-bought bread crumbs, use in any recipe calling for seasoned breadcrumbs, they make a wonderful breading for baked chicken and fish --- store in the fridge or freezer and use when needed --- the recipe can be reduced to one loaf of bread if desired, since I use these on a regular basis I most always make two loaves.
