  • Homemade Bread In A 1 … 2… Pot

    Making homemade bread in a pot will never be easier. Been in the mode for some fresh and hot bread straight for your home? With this recipe, it’s going to have to go back to making more due to its addictiveness.

    Ingredients:

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tsp active dry yeast
    • 1½ tsp sea salt
    • 1½ cups warm water (105 degrees F)

    Instructions:

    1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt, and stir to combine.
    2. Pour the warm water into the bowl and mix until the dough forms a ball.
    3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (sprayed with cooking spray) and a damp tea towel.
      Let the dough sit covered at room temperature for 18-24 hours.
    4. After the long rest (or at least 1 hour before you want to serve the bread), preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232°C).
    5. Place a 2 3/4-quart Dutch oven (or a 2.4L baking dish) with a lid in the oven while it is preheating. (Note: A 5 qt. Dutch oven can also be used successfully).
    6. While the oven is preheating, transfer the dough from the bowl onto a floured surface.
      Form the dough into a ball, adding a few tablespoons more flour if needed. The dough should still be slightly loose. Cover it with a floured towel while the oven is preheating. (Note: The dough ball will be loose and “floppy” – this is expected as it’s a very moist bread that’s irresistible).
    7. Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Remove the lid and spray the dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
    8. Gently place the dough ball into the baking dish, so it’s evenly distributed.
      Cover the dish with the lid.
    9. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on.
    10. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown.
    11. Remove the loaf from the baking dish and let it cool on a rack before slicing. To keep it warm, you can cover it with a tea towel.

    Once completed make sure to grab some butter or spread of choice and add it to your newly fresh homemade bread. Embrace that inner baker and appreciate all your hard work.

  • Kick You In The Mouth Spicy Crispy Chicken

    Still hungry?

    Do you like a good crunch? How about spice? Well this recipe has both. Additionally, this meal is beginner friendly. The spicy crispy chicken is a meal you can whip out at Thanksgiving and knock everyone’s socks off. The portions given in this recipe is meant for two people (or one really hungry me). Increase portion size as needed.

    Ingredients

    https://www.pinterest.com/sheatedatny/_created/
    • Carrots
    • Potatoes
    • 2 Scallions
    • 10 Ounces Chicken Cutlets
    • 3 tbsp Sour Cream
    • ¼ Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
    • ¼ Cup Monterey Jack Cheese (shredded)
    • 2 tsp Honey
    • ½ tbsp Frank’s Seasoning Blend

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Trim, peel, and cut carrots diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. In a small bowl, combine half the sour cream, ½ tsp Frank’s seasoning, and a big pinch of salt. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
    2. Melt1 tbsp of butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl for 30-45 seconds. Stir in panko, Monterey Jack, remaining Frank’s Seasoning Blend, and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
    3. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender for 15-20 minutes. Keep ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain.
    4. Heat a drizzle of oil and scallion whites in empty pot over low heat until softened for about 1 minute. Return potatoes to pot and mash with remaining sour cream and 1 tbsp of butter until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
    5. While potatoes cook, lightly oil a baking sheet. Toss carrots on one side of sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add the chicken to the baking sheet after).
    6. While carrots roast, pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Mound panko mixture on top of chicken, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat undersides).
    7. Once carrots have roasted for 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully place chicken, coated sides up, on the empty side. Roast on top rack until chicken is golden brown and cooked through and carrots are tender for 15-18 minutes. Transfer roasted carrots to a large bowl, adding 1 tbsp of butter and toss until melted.

    Divide carrots, mashed potatoes, and chicken between plates. Drizzle chicken with creamy Buffalo sauce and honey (or serve on the side for dipping). Garnish potatoes and chicken with scallion greens and serve. voila, you’ve made Spicy Crispy Chicken.

    What are the benefits of drinking matcha latte?

    Matcha Latte is full of antioxidants, even antioxidants that may help prevent cell damage and lower the risk of certain diseases. Matcha may help with weight loss by boosting metabolism and burning fat. It also contains an amino acid that can help lower anxiety. Matcha helps to boost brain health, function, and alertness. In addition, it supports the heart and the cardiovascular system. My point is that matcha is an excellent supplement for use to consume on a daily basis. However, matcha is high in caffeine so you have to be careful, and not consume it more than twice a day.

    Ingredients:

    • One tsp of matcha powder (add more or less depending on how strong or light)
    • 1 oz of hot water
    • 6 oz of milk
    • ½ tsp of vanilla extract
    • ⅛ tsp sea salt
    • ½ tsp of cinnamon powder
    • 2 pumps of vanilla syrup (Click here for a homemade vanilla syrup)

    Preparation:

    • In a small bowl, add 1oz of hot water and 1 tbs of matcha powder.
    • Whisk it until you get the perfect mixture.
    • Once you have the matcha mixture ready, start adding the pinch of sea salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder and homemade vanilla syrup. Whisk it again, until the mixture has the perfect consistency.
    • Now, start steaming the milk, and combine with the matcha mixture in a mug.

    What is mangú?

    Mangú is one of the most typical Dominican breakfasts in the Dominican Republic. Mangú are boiled and mashed green plantains combined with a little bit of salt, water and butter. This traditional meal consists of mashed plantains (Mangú) and it is often served with fried eggs, cheese, salami and fried onions (los tres golpes). This is how it is typically eaten, but you can definitely eat it with whatever you want. Because, the star here is the mangú. However, I recommend you to try it the Dominican way because it’s absolutely delicious, and it will most likely become one of your favorite meals. Other people eat mangú with the sides separated, not all together like I stated above. Some don’t like this combination so they go for meat, fish and or other side of their preference.

    Mangú with fried cheese, egg, salami and onions

    Mangú is a meal that is often referred to as breakfast but in all seriousness, Dominicans eat this at all times, during the morning, day and night. For this recipe you will need butter, salt, oil, onions, plantains, Dominican sausage (salami), eggs, and Dominican white cheese that’s specifically labeled to fry.

    We will provide you with an easy and affordable recipe to make for the whole family. Mangú can be done at any time of the day, the key is what you pair it with. Once you have these food items on hand, the process will be fairly easy. Hope you enjoy and have fun creating this meal as much as we do. Don’t forget to not only share this meal with others but also share the recipe with them. Enjoy!
