Portuguese Sofrito Bread Abm Recipes

Steps:

• Cut onions into ½-inch dice. Saute slowly in olive oil until translucent and barely golden, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Add all ingredients including the sautéed onions to your bread machine in the order recommended by its manufacturer, and select the bread cycle.

Steps:

• Chop onion into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Saute in olive oil until transparent and barely golden 15 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Add all ingredients including cooled onions in order suggested by bread machine.
• Process according to manual directions.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in the bread machine following manufacturer's instructions.
• I place them in this order: ricotta, milk, butter, egg, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast on top (making sure yeast doesn't touch any liquid ingredient).
• Don't drain the ricotta!
• Start the machine on the basic cycle; since this is a rather dry mixture, I watch it for the first few minutes, eventually using a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything gets combined.
• After that, you can leave it on it's own!

Steps:

• Follow direction given with your bread machine.

Steps:

• In a blender purée all ingredients except bread until smooth. In a small heavy saucepan simmer sofrito, stirring, 3 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Sofrito may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
• Prepare grill.
• If desired halve bread slices. Spread some sofrito on 1 side of each bread slice (reserving any remaining sofrito for another use) and grill, sofrito side down, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, bread may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer sofrito bread as grilled with tongs to a bread basket.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan or in the microwave, cook the diced potatoes until tender.
• Drain but reserve the potato water.
• Mash potato with a fork.
• Add enough water to the potato water to make 3/4 cup.
• Place potato, potato water, eggs, butter lemon peel, sugar, salt, bread flour in the breadpan of your bread machine.
• Add yeast last.
• Select dough cycle and press start.
• Check every now and again to make sure it's not too sticky, or too dry. If it is tacky, add a bit of flour 1 tbs at a time. If it's too dry add water a tbs at a time.
• When the bread machine beeps to add stuff, toss in your raisins and let finish.
• When the dough cycle is over, prepare two bread pans. Grease the pans and shake some course cornmeal across the bottom so it doesn't stick.
• Split dough between the pans and allow to rise for 15-20 minutes.
• After the last rise, cut three slits into the top of the bread, and brush with one beaten egg (you won't use all of it) to give the crust a nice sheen.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, covering the bread with foil after about 15 minutes so the top does not burn (and it will, so watch it).
• If you have a cooking thermometer, you will know the bread is done with the internal temp comes to 200-210. It is not necessary, but since this bread.
