Shred Head Butter And Bread Recipes

SHREDDED WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Measure the boiling water, butter, salt, and molasses into a mixing bowl, and crumble the shredded wheat into this; cool to lukewarm.
• Dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 cup warm water and let proof for a few minutes.
• Add this to the above lukewarm mixture.
• Add the flour by cupfuls, using as much as you need to have a fairly stiff dough.
• Knead 100 times.
• Grease a bowl and place dough into it.
• Let rise for 2 hours, covered.
• Punch down and rise another hour.
• Turn out on lightly floured board, punch down, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Make into two loaves, place in greased pans, let rise till double.
• Bake 400 degrees for 50 minutes, covering with foil if it gets too brown.

KNEAD NOT SOURDOUGH

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the water and stir until combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit at room temperature for 19 hours.
• After 19 hours, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Punch down the dough and turn it over onto itself a couple of times. Cover with a tea towel and allow to rest 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, shape the dough into a ball. Coat hands with flour, if needed, to prevent sticking. Sprinkle the tea towel with half of the cornmeal and lay the dough on top of it, with the seam side down. Sprinkle the top of the dough with the other half of the cornmeal and cover with the towel. Allow to rise for another 2 to 3 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Oven baking: While the dough is rising the second time, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven in the oven while it preheats. Once the dough is ready, carefully transfer it to the pre-heated Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake until the bread reaches an internal temperature of 210 to 212 degrees F, another 15 minutes. Transfer the bread to a cooling rack and allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
• Outdoor coals: Heat charcoal in a chimney starter until ash covers all of the coals. Place 20 to 24 coals on a Dutch oven table. Place a cooling rack (or other wire rack that is at least 2-inches high) directly over the coals. Set a 5-quart Dutch oven on top of this rack and allow to preheat during the last 30 minutes of the second rise. Carefully transfer the dough to the Dutch oven and cover with the lid. Place 20 coals on top. Bake until the bread reaches an internal temperature of 210 to 212 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the bread to a cooling rack and allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

SHREDDED CABBAGE WITH BUTTER AND BREAD

Steps:

• Melt the butter and add croutons. Add the mustard and caraway seeds and stir over medium heat until the butter browns and smells nutty. Remove from heat.
• Place the cabbage in water and cook for 2 minutes, exactly. I prefer to steam the cabbage instead of boiling it.
• Add the cabbage to the butter crumb dressing and toss to coat thoroughly. Serve immediately.
