Please check each class carefully. We demonstrate all of our major machines and base our concepts on the usage of fresh ground whole-grain flours. In each class we demonstrate both the Flour Mill and the Bosch Mixer's ability to produce a variety of whole-grain and nutritious white breads, and also our Pressure Cookers & stainless-steel gadgets that make life easier for you as you learn new techniques. Most of the items and gadgets we use during class are on sale for that week. For you frequent attenders, we're always adding "new recipes" and "new classes" that should keep you coming back to learn more and having a great time.

LOV'N FROM THE OVEN
Pressure Cooker Clam Chowder
|
Using a 5 liter pressure cooker
1 pound bacon, cut up
1 med. Onion, chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chopped celery
2 – 10 oz can clams, with juice
2 Tbsp. (Swiss Chalet) clam base
4 or 5 potatoes cubed
1/4 cup chicken broth powder
2 cups water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. white pepper
4 cups cream or half and half
Ultra Gel (instant thickener)
|
Mix chicken broth powder and clam base with water.
In the bottom of pressure cooker fry bacon until tender, add onion, celery and garlic; sauté until vegetables are tender.
Add clams, potatoes, clam/chicken broth, and spices. Bring to a boil. Put on pressure lid and bring to second ring. Pressure for 3-5 minutes, then drop pressure immediately under cold water. Add cream. Thicken with ultra gel to desired consistency. Adjust seasonings. Serve in a bread bowl.
|
Country Whole Wheat Bread Bowls/French Bread
|
In the Bosch bowl:
4 1/2 cups hot (115°) water
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup honey or molasses
1 Tbsp. sea salt
3 Tbsp. dough enhancer
2 cups high gluten bread flour
3 Tbsp. Saf instant Yeast
6 cups fresh ground whole wheat
1/2 cup sourdough base (optional) |
Mix thoroughly on speed one. Continue to add enough whole wheat flour until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl. Knead on speed one for 7-8 minutes or until the gluten is developed. Leave the dough in the bowl and cover with the splatter ring and lid. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Knead again for a few seconds and let it rest for another 15 minutes. This procedure is called pestering and changes the texture of the bread into a tight dough, which is good for bread bowls.
Form dough into bread bowls or French rolls: 8oz., 12oz. for bread bowls, 1 1/2 lbs. for French bread, and 1 lb. for baguettes. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Slash tops with a bakers blade. Brush with beaten egg wash. Cover and allow them to rise until double in size approximately 45 min-1hour. Bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 20-30 minutes.
They can also rise on parchment paper on a pizza peel. Preheat pizza stone at 400°, then turn oven down to 350° and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 200 and the bread is golden and crusty. Remove from cookie sheet onto cooling rack; allow to cool for at least 6 hours before storing..
When completely cool, cut off top of bowl and clean out center with fork. Serve soup or salad in bread bowl.
