Thu Jul 29 05:00:33 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

1200.0 gram water
375.0 gram molasses
20.0 gram Cocoa
4.0 gram coffee, instant
40.0 gram salt
400.0 gram flour, rye
400.0 gram Flour, Pumpernickel
900.0 gram Flour, all-purpose
30.0 gram Caraway Seeds
80.0 gram Starter
1.0 each Onion large, minced

Instructions:

Add the first five ingredients to a pan and heat to dissolve the molasses and salt. Once dissolved, remove from heat and cool to about 100 F.

Mix the next 4 ingredients in a plastic dough box.

Mince the onion. Add to cooling liquid mixture.

When liquid is cool, add the starter. Stir to dissolve the starter into the liquid.

Pour the liquid into the flour mixture.

Mix by hand.

Until all the dry flour is incorporated.

Let sit 20 minutes.

Flour your work table and the top of the dough very well.

Turn the dough onto the work table. Flour the top of the dough.

Pat the dough out into a square, moving the dough to keep bottom floured and not sticking to the work table. Brush excess flour off of dough.

Fold the left third of the dough onto the center third. Brush off all excess flour.

Fold the right third of the dough over onto the other two thirds. Brush off the flour.

Rotate the dough 90 degrees so it's running the length of the work table. Pat out again.

Fold Left side onto the middle, brush off flour.

turn right side onto the other two thirds, brush off excess flour.

Repeat steps 11 through 15. Place dough in the dough box to rest for 20 minutes.

Repeat steps 11 - 15 one time. Return dough to the dough box to rest for 20 minutes.

Repeat step 17

Repeat step 17 again, but let dough rest 8 hours or over night. You can go longer but not shorter.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Pre-shape and allow to rest 10 minutes to relax.

Finish shaping the loaves, allow to rise for at least 8 hours.

Slash loaves and paint with liquid of choice (I use 1 T of corn starch added to 3/4 cup of cold water, mixed, and brought to a boil while mixing.) Sprinkle with caraway seeds.

Bake at 375 until internal temperature is about 200F.

Be sure to allow to cool before cutting.

Pumpernickel Raisin Bread

Fri Jul 30 17:56:56 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

0.8 pound flour, rye
0.8 pound Flour, Pumpernickel
2.0 pound Flour, all-purpose
2.5 pound water room temperature
1.0 pound molasses
0.8 pound raisins
25.0 gram Cocoa
8.0 gram coffee, instant
36.0 gram Salt, Flour or kosher salt
10.0 gram Yeast
30.0 gram Caraway Seeds

Instructions:

Combine the water and molasses in a saucepan, and heat gently so the molasses dissolves into the water. Add the cocoa, coffee, and salt, stirring to dissolve. Allow to cool to room temperature (NOTE: if you baking area is cool, or the dry ingredients are cool, you should use warmer liquid ingredients. The average temperature of the ingredients should be around 70).

While the liquids cool, weigh out the dry ingredients.

I like to mix the dry ingredients so that the eventual dough is more uniform.

When the liquids are cool enough, add them to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands. Allow to rest 20 minutes.

Stretch the dough about 20 times, and allow to rest 20 minutes.

Stretch the dough about 20 times, and allow to rest for two and a half (2.5) hours.

Scale the dough into loaf weights.

Pre-shape. First flatten out the dough.

Then fold top quarter over onto the 2nd quarter.

Fold the bottom quarter up onto the 3rd quarter.

Now roll the top half over onto the bottom half and roll lightly.

Let the pre-shaped dough rest about 10 minutes.

Select one of the pre-shaped doughs.

Flatten it out using your fingers.

Fold the top third down over the middle third.

Fold bottom third up over top two thirds and seal edges.

Roll out to the appropriate shape.

Shape all the loaves, and allow to rise for an hour or until properly expanded.

If baking in loaf pans, bake in 350 F oven for about 45 minutes. If baking freestyle, preheat oven to 400 for about 30 minutes.

OPTIONAL FOR FREE-FORM LOAF: Mix some cornstarch with water and bring to a boil. Allow to cool. Solution should be about the thickness of a cream sauce. Baste loaf with this solution, sprinkle with caraway seeds. Brush with solution again, immediately after the loaf comes out of the oven.

Barbecured Baked Beans

Fri Jul 30 21:34:59 UTC 2010

Ingredients:

Beans
1.0 pound Beans, Cannellini picked over
2.0 clove Garlic
1.0 teaspoon salt
some water to cover by 3/4 inch

Sauce
1.0 each Onion finely chopped
1.0 stalk Celery finely chopped
2.0 clove Garlic minced
0.25 cup oil, vegetable
1.0 jar Tomato Sauce
0.25 cup sugar, brown
0.25 cup molasses
2.0 teaspoon mustard powder
3.0 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1.0 teaspoon salt
1.0 teaspoon Thyme fresh, minced fine

Instructions:

Bring the water to a boil. Put beans in a pot with the salt and garlic. Cover with the boiling water to a depth of about 3/4 inch above the beans. Place in a preheated oven to 250 for about 2 hours, or just short of tender. Add water as needed to keep beans just covered.

While beans cook, saute onion and celry in the oil over medium heat. When onion becomes translucent, add the garlic and cook a little longer.

Add the tomato sauce, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire, salt and thyme.

Simmer for about 30 minutes.

When the beans are real close to tender, drain them, but reserve the liquid.

Stir the sauce into the beans and return to the oven at 250. Check every 15 minutes and add some of the reserved bean liquid to thin as desired. Continue cooking till the beans are totally cooked and tender.
