Tried a new bread recipe. Already ate about half of one loaf. The other is getting shared with family this weekend. Here's the recipe, if anyone cares to try it, with my notes/additions added. Salami Rosemary Bread Two 1/4-ounce packages active dry yeast (5 teaspoons) 2 cups lukewarm water 2 teaspoons table salt 5 to 6 cups bread flour 1/2 pound pork salami, chopped fine 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (Not nearly enough! I used 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped fine) 1/4 cup garlic, minced (could use another 1/4 cup. I love garlic!) 1 cup shredded cheese (I used a 6-cheese Italian Blend from Albertsons) A glaze made by beating 1 large egg white with 1 tablespoon water Coarse salt for sprinkling the bread (I left this out) Preparation In a small bowl proof the yeast in 1 cup of the water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy, and in another small bowl dissolve the table salt in the remaining 1 cup water. In a large bowl stir together the yeast mixture, the salt water, and 4 cups of the flour until a dough is formed. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead in the salami, the rosemary, the garlic, and enough of the remaining 2 cups flour (I used 1 cup) to form a slightly sticky dough. Knead the dough for 10 minutes, form it into a ball, and transfer it to a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat it with the oil. Let the dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is doubled in bulk. Add the shredded cheese and knead the dough for 30 seconds. Divide the dough and form into two 16-inch-long loaves. Transfer the loaves to a lightly oiled baking sheet and let rise, uncovered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is doubled in bulk. Make four 1/4-inch-deep slashes in the top of each loaf and brush the loaves with the glaze. Sprinkle the loaves with the coarse salt (press lightly to make it stick) and bake in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F. and bake for 30 minutes more, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Transfer to rack to cool. |

I'm sorry, Senator, but I can neither confirm nor deny whether I do or do not have any recollection of said picture being of the dinner variety or... What was the question again? Congressional oversight committee, could you please define the word dinner?  |
