The Best Crusty Bread (Dutch Oven)

by Rebecca August 17, 2020
written by Rebecca

Serves: 12 or depending on how the loaf is sliced | Prep: 10 Min | Cook: 45 Min

This impressive crackly crust bread with a chewy inside stands high above the rest.

When I first made this bread my first thought was the same loaf we used to have in Italian restaurants. The kind that we dip in olive oil? I know, it’s grand yet this Dutch Oven recipe is pretty straightforward and calls for only four simple ingredients. Easy on the wallet, right? But it’s superb texture and taste makes this bread fabulously perfect!

Ingredients

3 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon active dry yeast

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 cups water, warm

How to Make The Best Crusty Bread (Dutch Oven)

Step 1: In a 3 to 4-quart bowl with a secured lid, whisk the flour, yeast, and salt. Or use a plastic wrap on a bowl if you don’t have a bowl or Tupperware with lid.

Step 2: Pour in water into the mixture and use a wooden spoon to mix until the dough is combined. It’ll look shaggy and a bit sticky but it’s alright.

Step 3: Cover and let the dough rise for at least 12 to 19 hours or overnight.

Step 4: When ready to bake, prepare the oven. Preheat it to 450 degrees.

Step 5: While preheating the oven, put a cast-iron dutch oven with the lid inside to heat for at least 30 seconds.

Step 6: In the meantime, transfer the dough onto a densely floured surface. The dough will still be very sticky but that’s natural.

Step 7: Gently form a round loaf with your floured hands. Make sure that there is enough flour on the surface to prevent the dough from sticking. Allow the round loaf to just sit onto the floured surface until the oven is preheated.

Step 8: After 30 seconds, take out the hot pot from the oven. Then, carefully transfer the dough into the pot. Cover the pot with the lid and place it back into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.

Step 9: Then, remove the lid and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 10: Once done, remove the bread from the oven and place it onto a cooling rack. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

This iconic Watergate Cake hits all the right spots. It’s a pretty amazing cake and every bite is a full-on experience. Super moist, ideally sweet, light, with the perfect combination of pineapples and pistachio. Although, pineapples and pistachio may seem an odd pair if you haven’t had Watergate salad but for all of you who knows what I’m talking about you know that it’s not true. They are one of the best combinations! The first time I had a piece of this cake, I lose my mind a little bit. It’s so freaking good! With bits and pieces of pistachio nuts, creamy frosting, and just the right amount of sweetness, every bite is a delightful cloud of deliciousness.

BONNIE’S SIMPLE PEACH COBBLER (easy batter recipe)

by Rebecca August 17, 2020
written by Rebecca

Serves: 4 | Prep: 1 Hr 10 Min | Cook: 55 Min

You’ll dig right into this amazingly delicious Peach Cobbler. It’s fruity sweet, pretty simple, and not fussy. I prefer using fresh fruits because canned will give you a sickly sweet cobbler with an icky gummy filling. And this cobbler calls for just a simple batter using a kitchen flour mix. One of the best-of-list and easy on the wallet.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons real butter

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free version is below.)

1/2 cup sugar, (if the fruit is tart increase to 3/4 cup)

1 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon of salt

3/4 cup buttermilk (i used ¾ cup organic milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)

2 cups only of sliced fresh peaches (or fruit of choice)

1 tablespoon of sugar for the top

HOW TO MAKE BONNIE’S SIMPLE PEACH COBBLER

Step 1: KITCHEN FLOUR MIX: Combine half a cup of brown rice flour, half a cup of corn starch, half a cup of potato starch, and a tablespoon of protein whey isolate.

Step 2: Make sure to mix the flour mixture well before measuring. You will only use 3/4 cup of this mixture in this recipe. There is no need for xanthan gum. And instead of using buttermilk, use organic milk, and lemon juice for a gluten-free variety.

Step 3: Before preheating the oven to 350 degrees, adjust the oven rack first to the upper-middle position.

Step 4: Ready the fruit and measure only 2 full cups so the batter will have room to rise through and around the fruits. Using more fruits will increase cooking time and might cause the batter to not get done in the middle.

Step 5: Pour the batter into an 8-inch square pan. Place inside the preheated oven to melt and make sure to not brown it. Once the butter has melted, remove the pan from the oven.

Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk the flour, half a cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Pour in the milk and continue whisking until you form a smooth batter.

Step 7: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Scatter the fruit on top, then, sprinkle over a tablespoon of sugar.

Step 8: Place the pan back in the oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until browned and the fruits bubble.

Step 9: Then, remove from the oven and serve immediately with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

NOTE:

You can double this recipe by using an oblong pan or 2 8-inches pans to make sure that the middle is perfectly done.

To remove the peaches skin, wash the peaches first. In a large pot with boiling water, add in 5 tablespoons of baking soda, a spoon at a time to prevent the water to overflow. Put the peaches in the boiling water for not more than 30 seconds. Take them out immediately and transfer the peaches into the ice water. When the peaches cooled down, their skin will start to melt off. Since this recipe requires ripe peaches, this is the perfect technique to use so they remain firm.

BACON WRAPPED CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

by Rebecca August 15, 2020
written by Rebecca

This recipe is not only easy, you can even customize it as you like. This is my go-to dinner option and everyone loves it. There is nothing to hate about chicken and bacon with cream cheese and more cheese. I mean it is perfect and it hits all the right spot! It is freaking delicious, the chicken is tender, and the bacon is bacon. Everybody loves bacon and it is amazing no matter what. And the kids are always requesting for chicken so this is excellent. Cream cheese and chicken are the most popular combination but most of the time cream cheese is overpowered by spices and seasonings. But this recipe gives way to the tart cream cheese and no one can complain because hey it’s cream cheese!

INGREDIENTS

2 Boneless skinless chicken breast

4 tablespoons cream cheese

1/4 cup Pepperjack cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons green onion, chopped

4 to 8 pieces of bacon

HOW TO MAKE BACON WRAPPED CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Step 1: Slice the chicken into 4 similar size pieces and pound to make them about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Mix well.

Step 3: Spoon 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each chicken piece.

Step 4: Roll the chicken breasts up starting at the longest side, making sure to keep the mixture in the middle.

Step 5: Then, wrap the chicken breasts with 1 to 2 slices of bacon. Secure them with toothpick.

Step 6: I use only 1 piece of bacon but you can wrap 2 pieces of bacon if needed. 1 piece is enough as 2 slices of bacon can fully wrap the chicken and it may seem overwhelming.

Step 7: Put the bacon-wrapped breasts on a baking sheet and place inside the oven to bake for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Step 8: Then, broil the top to fully brown and crisp the bacon for 5 minutes.

Step 9: Flip to the other side and broil for 3 minutes more to crisp both sides.
