Kittencals White Sauceroux Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
• Mix all ingredients in a bowl on low speed until blended (about 30 seconds).
• Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes more.
• Pour the batter into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan (the batter will be quite thick so you will need to spread out with back of a spoon).
• Bake for about 30 minutes or until cake tests done.

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!

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the olive oil; saute the onions, Italian seasoning and oregano for about 2-3 minutes, stirring until soft but not brown.
• Add in garlic and saute for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add in the tomato paste; stir and cook 1 minute.
• Add in the remaining ingredients; cook and simmer on low heat for 1/2 to 3/4 hours, stirring occasionally, adding more salt if needed (the longer you cook this sauce the thicker and richer it will be!).
• Cool slightly and use immediately or refrigerate up to 5 days or you may freeze.
• *NOTE* freeze in plastic containers after cooled, I find that this sauce tastes even better if left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors before using or freezing.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium heat; add in onion and saute for about 3 minutes, then add in garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
• Add in chili powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and black pepper; stir for 1 minute.
• Add in all remaining ingredients; bring to a boil stirring with a wooden spoon to combine.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered stirring occasionally for 1 hour over low heat (do not cover the pot or the texture and flavor will be affected, if you have a splatter screen then use it to cover the pot).
• Cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or more before using.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Shape into small meatballs (at this point you can place on a jelly-roll/baking sheet and freeze to use later, or cover with plastic wrap refrigerate up to 24 hours before using).
• Drop the meatballs into simmering pasta sauce, do not stir for at least 20 minutes or you will risk breaking the meatballs.
• Continue cooking in the simmering sauce for another 20 minutes (depending on how fast your sauce is simmering 40 minutes total should fully cook the meatballs).
• After the 40 minutes cooking time continue cooking your sauce with the meatballs in for as long as desired.
• **note** you may also bake the meatballs at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
