Pumpkin-Parmesan Wheat Bread

By


I had some pumpkin puree leftover from the pumpkin I roasted from my High Ground Organics CSA box last week...and I wanted to make something savory.

1 C milk
4 T unsalted butter
2-1/2 t active dry yeast
1/2 C organic granulated sugar
1 t smoked sea salt
5 C white whole wheat flour
1/2 C dark rye flour
1/2 C hazelnut flour
1/2 C pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
shredded parmesan cheese

Heat milk with butter in a pan until the butter has melted. Remove from heat. Add sugar and salt and leave to cool. Add yeast and let bloom for 5 minutes. Mix in half the flour. Add the puree and eggs. Stir in the remaining flour and knead until you have a firm dough that begins to pull away from the edge of the bowl.

Lightly grease the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for about 90 minutes. Punch the dough down, add shredded parmesan, and fold into a buttered loaf pan. Let rise for another 60 minutes. At 50 minutes of rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake uncovered for approximately 35 minutes until a nice golden brown. Turn onto a wire cooling rack and cool completely.

Bread is best eaten within 4 days, but freshly baked bread in our home barely lasts a day.

The boys requested a grilled ham and cheese sandwich on the pumpkin bread. Deliciously easy dinner!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

By
In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
