Brioche -- in the bread maker

By Anonymous -
You guys! I got a brand new bread maker for Christmas!
I am, in the words of Gaby, in bread paradise.

from "The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger

for a 1 /2 pound loaf

1/3 c. milk
2 large eggs
2 c. bread flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. gluten
3/4 tsp. salt
1 3/4 tsp. bread machine yeast
7 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Place the ingredients, except the butter, in the pan according to the order in the manufacturer's instructions. (for mine it's wet, dry, then yeast)
Set crust on medium and program for the Basic cycle. Press start.
About 10 minutes into the second knead, open the lid while the machine is still running. Add a piece or two of butter at a time, until it is all incorporated. Close the lid.
When the baking cycle ends, open the lid and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and cool to room temperature before slicing.

You're going to make me start wanting a breadmaker, aren't you. Wait, you already are...

Gwen - I have one and never, ever use it. And it takes up a ton of space. You should try mine sometime and see what you think.

You know, Gwen, you make really good bread from scratch -- which is something I suck at. I went ahead and accepted I'm no good at bread from scratch which is why I wanted the bread machine.
Not that I'm discouraging you. I love mine. Love it. And no more buying bread in the store, which is the best part (IMO) -- if bread is homemade, even in a bread machine , you can control the ingredients that much closer.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
