Aiolibread Recipes

AIOLI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat eggs well with a wire whisk. Stir in garlic. Gradually add oil in a thin stream, beating constantly until light and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate.

GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

REAL AIOLI

Steps:

• Place garlic slices in a mortar with kosher salt. Mash with the pestle into a fine paste, 4 or 5 minutes. Mix in lemon juice. Add a teaspoon of olive oil; stir and mash until oil is incorporated. Add another teaspoon and mix in thoroughly. Continue incorporating olive oil, teaspoon by teaspoon, mashing and stirring until aioli thickens up. If the aioli gets thicker than you like, add a few drops of water.

HOMEMADE GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl to combine.
• Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

AïOLI

Steps:

• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Whisk together yolk, lemon juice, and mustard in a bowl. Combine oils and add, a few drops at a time, to yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until all oil is incorporated and mixture is emulsified. (If mixture separates, stop adding oil and continue whisking until mixture comes together, then resume adding oil.)
• Whisk in garlic paste and season with salt and pepper. If aïoli is too thick, whisk in 1 or 2 drops of water. Chill, covered, until ready to use.

ROASTED GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat an oven to 375 F. Remove as much excess peel, or papery covering, on the heads of garlic as you can.
• To make getting the garlic out a lot easier later, use a sharp paring knife to snip off the tip of each clove of garlic. Put the garlic heads on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Fold the foil up and crimp to enclose the garlic. Roast until browned and supremely tender, about 45 minutes.
• Open the foil packet and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Using a small spoon, dig out the garlic cloves from the head. You can also just squeeze the cloves out. Mash the cloves into a paste. Now choose to proceed with the blender method or the whisk method. The blender is faster; the whisk gives the cook more control, and thus there's less risk of the aioli "breaking," or having the egg mixture and the oil separate.
• Whirl the garlic, egg, lemon juice, mustard , and salt in a blender to combine.
• With blender running on a low speed, drip the oil in slowly, allowing each addition to incorporate into the egg mixture before adding more. As more oil is incorporated, you can add the oil more quickly, working up to a slow stream.
• As you add the oil, the mixture will thicken. It's actually pretty crazy how it goes from a liquidy mix of beaten egg into a creamy-looking spread.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. If it's terribly thick, you can thin it a bit with drops of lemon juice. Don't try to thin it with more oil, which will counterintuitively make it thicker. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to two days.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, egg, lemon juice , mustard, and salt.
• Set the bowl on a silicone oven pad or wrap the bottom of the bowl in a kitchen towel to hold the bowl still on the counter without having to hold it.
• Whisking constantly, add the oil, drop by drop, allowing each addition to incorporate into the egg mixture before adding more. As more oil is incorporated, you can add the oil more in a stream.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk in more lemon juice (a drop at a time) to taste, or use the lemon juice to thin the aioli, if needed (it may be counterintuitive, but adding more oil with thicken, not thin the mixture once it starts to thicken, and adding too much oil will break the mixture). Serve the aioli immediately, or cover and chill for up to two days.

HOMEMADE AIOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small food processor or cup using an immersion blend, whisk together yolks, lemon juice and zest, and mustard. Pulse, scraping down the sides, until it becomes a pale yellow paste.
• While whisking or while the immersion blender is on, very slowly pour the oil into the yolk mixture. It should start to thicken and combine, but if it it does seperate, stop adding the oil and continue to whisk until it combines again, then resume the oil.
• When fully combine, add the garlic and salt, either giving a few more quick pulses or folding in by hand. If you plan to add chives or black pepper, fold them in as well.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors marry.

AIOLI

Steps:

• Place garlic and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade, or in a blender. Pulse for 2 seconds. Add the egg yolk and lemon juice, and pulse on and off until blended. Turn on and begin adding the olive oil (pure first, then extra-virgin) in a thin stream. If it becomes too thick, thin it out with some room-temperature water and continue adding oil until you've used it all. Finish with pepper and (if necessary) a bit more salt.
• The reason for using 2/3 pure olive oil is to keep the flavor of the oil from becoming overpowering. This is a perfect example of how by using a fully-flavored extra virgin oil you can use much less, thereby saving money and getting better flavor.

CHEATER'S AIOLI

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, combine the pressed garlic and lemon juice. Stir to combine and spread it into an even layer so the juice can work its magic. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, so the lemon juice can absorb the garlic's flavor.
• Place a fine mesh strainer over another bowl. Using a silicone or rubber spatula, scoop the contents of the bowl into the strainer, then press on the garlic with the spatula to get as much juice out as possible. Discard the garlic.
• Stir the mayo into the garlicky lemon juice until combined. Taste, and adjust only if necessary-if the garlic flavor is overwhelming, stir in more mayonnaise by the tablespoon. If you want it to taste a little more interesting, add the Dijon mustard. For more tang, add another little squeeze of lemon juice.
• Aioli will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 10 days. It will thicken up more as it chills.

SHORTBREAD (PALEO, AIP, VEGAN)

Steps:

• Set oven to 325 degrees.
• In a medium bowl sift together the coconut flour, arrowroot flour, and pinch of salt.
• Make a well in the centre and add the melted palm oil (see note in ingredients list), maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir thoroughly. Add the water and continue to stir until you have a nice dough (the mixture continues to thicken after the water is added).
• Divide the dough into quarters and roll between two sheets of parchment. Cut into shapes. Alternatively, you can press the dough into a greased 8x8 glass baking dish.
• Using a thin spatula (because this makes it easier than attempting to pick up with your hands), transfer the cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pierce with a fork.
• Bake at 325 for 15 minutes, until lightly golden.
• Allow the cookies to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from the baking sheet or before cutting into squares.

EASY RUSTIC OLIVE BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the first six ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Use a spatula to roughly combine the ingredients. Let rest for 15 minutes to activate the yeast.
• Fold in the olives. Attach the dough hook and knead on medium for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in a bit more flour as needed if the dough won't release from the sides of the bowl.
• Transfer the kneaded dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise for 60 minutes in a warm place.
• Punch the dough down, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to shape it into a loaf. Allow to rise for another 60 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place a second baking sheet on the bottom rack. Dust the loaf with flour and use a serrated knife to make three shallow cuts across the top.
• Place the baking sheet containing the dough on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Toss a half cup of water onto the hot baking sheet on the bottom rack and close the door. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

SUPER EASY BREAD RECIPE FOR BEGINNERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour the warm water into a large bowl.
• Slowly stir in the yeast until it is dissolved.
• Add the salt, sugar, and milk to the bowl. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
• Mix in the shortening and the first 2 cups of flour. The shortening will continue to integrate into the dough while kneading, so it may be small lumps at this stage.
• If needed, begin adding more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough chases the spoon around the bowl.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for about 10 minutes. Add small spoonfuls of flour as necessary, until the dough is soft and smooth (not sticky to the touch). You may not need all of the flour, or you may need a little more. Keep the surface floured to prevent the dough from sticking to the board and your hands.
• Put the dough in a greased or buttered bowl and turn the dough over so the other side is also greased.
• Cover and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot, such as an oven with the light on, for about 1 hour, or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for 5 minutes.
• Form the dough into a loaf (here are some helpful tips) and set it gently into a greased bread pan .
• Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled. If your kitchen is chilly or drafty, place the pan in a cool oven with the light on for this step, or you may not get a proper rise. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Score the risen dough by cutting three slashes across the top with a sharp knife. While not essential, this step controls the direction in which the bread expands as it bakes. (If you forget to do it, the bread will taste the same.)
• Place the bread in the oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Turn out the loaf of bread and let it cool completely on a rack or clean dish towel before slicing.
• Serve and enjoy.
