Bonnies White Bread Feather Light Recipes

BONNIE'S WHITE BREAD -- FEATHER LIGHT !

Steps:

• 1. EQUIPMENT: You will need a medium sized mixing bowl, thermometer, blender, and an electric mixer.
• 2. DRY INGREDIENTS: Measure one cup of the flour and put into a medium sized mixing bowl. (you will not use all the flour) Add sugar, salt, baking soda and yeast, stir to mix.
• 3. WET MIXTURE: In a small saucpan, add the water, cottage cheese and butter. Heat while stirring until the thermometer reads 120 degrees.
• 4. FIRST RISING: Break the egg into the dry ingredients and beat it with a fork, then add the wet mixture and mix well. Blend with the electric mixer until moist, then beat for 3 minutes at medium speed. Trade your mixer for a wooden spoon and stir in the remaining 1 to 1 2/3 cups of flour by hand to form a soft dough. Use the same bowl you mixed it in. Cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place to rise. I use my oven with the light on. Let it rise until doubled in size. about 45 to 60 minutes.
• 5. PREPARE YOUR CASSEROLE DISH FOR BAKING: Choose a 2 1/2 to 3 quart casserole dish and grease it or use Pam spray. Set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 6. SECOND RISING: After the dough has risen, uncover and punch it down to remove the air bubbles, add as little flour as necessary. Turn the dough into the greased casserole dish, and cover and let rise until doubled in size about 45 minutes, then uncover and place in the pre-heated oven (350 degrees) and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. It sounds hollow inside when tapped lightly. Remove the bread from the casserole dish, and butter the top, and place on a wire rack to cool before slicing. Enjoy!

FEATHERLIGHT ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in 1 tablespoon sugar; let stand 5 minutes. Add the milk, shortening, eggs, salt, 3 cups flour and remaining sugar. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (mixture will be sticky). Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 portions. Divide each portion into three pieces; shape each into a ball. Place three balls in each greased muffin cup. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-3/4 hours. , Preheat oven to 350°. Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.

FEATHER-LIGHT BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the baking mix, sugar and yeast. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough warm water to form a soft and slightly sticky dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 3-4 times. , Roll dough to 3/4-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. round biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake at 400° until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes.

BONNIE'S BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. HOW TO DO IT: Use Pam to spray your casserole dish. Use 2 1/2 to 3 quart size. Tear up the bread into pieces into the dish. Add all of the ingredients: bread, whiskey, whipping cream, vanilla, brown sugar, egg, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add raisins if you want them. (Do not add the glaze ingredients.) Gently mix until well combined. Dot the top with the butter cut into small pieces. Add just enough milk to bring it almost to the top of the bread mixture, but not covering it.
• 2. BAKE IT: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pudding in a shallow 9X13 pan of water and place in the oven. Bake for one hour. Carefully remove the dish from the pan of water and set on the stove. Using mitts, remove the VERY HOT pan of water. Be careful not to spill it on yourself! Put the pudding back in the oven on the rack for 15 minutes or until golden brown. It should be set. Do not overcook or it will dry it out. The pudding should still be moist, but lightly browned, like my photo.
• 3. GLAZE IT: Make a pouring glaze of 2 tablespoons, melted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla and add water gradually 1 to 4 tablespoons and stir until you have a nice pourable glaze. Pour that all over the pudding and let it soak in. Serve warm. Enjoy!
• 4. Cook's Tip: I use the leftover bread from my recipe: White Bread -- Feather Light! It makes terrific bread pudding!
