Bloody Mary Bread Recipes

BLOODY MARY BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes to "bloom.
• Combine vegetable juice cocktail and next 3 ingredients in sml saucepan; cook over medium heat until margarine melts. Let cool to 105-115 degrees. Stir in egg and salt. Add to yeast mixture; stir well. Add whole wheat flour and what germ; beat at low speed of an electric mixer until well blended. Beat an additional 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough of the 1 ¾ c all-purpose flour to make a soft dough.
• Sprinkle 3 TBL all-purpose flour evenly over work surface. Turn out dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes). Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees) free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
• Punch dough down. Roll to a 15x8 ½-inch rectangle. Roll up dough, jellyroll fashion, starting with narrow end; pinch seam side down, in an 8 1/2x4 1/2x3-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan and let cool completely on wire rack.

BLOODY MARY BREAD (BREAD MACHINE / ABM)

Steps:

• Add the ingredients to your bread machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Do a Light or Medium cycle if you want to bake it in the machine. Oven, do a dough cycle then lay a piece of parchment paper onto a cookie sheet and mold the dough into a big loaf and bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes.
• I heartily recommend this bread to be eaten with celery stalks, a good pepper jelly, and of course, Bloody Marys with plenty of Absolut Peppar! (Or Blue Flames or Dragon's Breath if you're really masochistic.).

BEST EVER BLOODY MARY

Transfer to a nonreactive container and add celery salt and black pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice.
• Add 1 ounce of vodka to each glass, then fill the glass with the bloody mary mix. Stir well, and garnish each glass with your favorite veggie, pickle, celery, pickled green bean, or a pickled okra.
