Cooking Is My Hobby

Our tomatoes have been growing quite well and the tomatoes just keep coming, so I have more than enough of them to try out some new things. I have baked some tomato breads these last couple of days and they just keep getting better with each try. Quick Look : Best Bread Machines to Buy in 2020 Bread Machine for Pizza Dough Beginners Friendly Bread Machine Ingredients 6 medium sized tomatoes 2 tbsp olive oi 1 big clove of garlic 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp of chopped thyme 440 grams all purpose flour 110 grams whole wheat flour 175 ml water 1 packet dry yeast Cut up the tomatoes and add olive oil, chopped garlic, salt, sugar and chopped thyme. Spread on a cookie sheet and grill in the oven for about an hour. Mix flour water and yeast in a large bowl and knead for a few minutes. Don’t worry if it feels a bit dry, the tomatoes still contain quite some moisture. When the tomatoes have cooled down a bit, mix them into the dough. If the dough is too sticky you can add a bit of flour. Now comes the most important part: letting the dough rise. Leave the dough in a covered bowl until doubled in size, this should take about an hour. Quick TRY : Homemade Tomato Ketchup Punch it down and let it rise again until doubled in size. Punch down once more and transfer into your bread form. Alternatively you can use a cast iron pan to bake your bread in. Preheat the oven while the dough raises for the last time. Bake at 250C (480F) for 10 minutes than turn down the heat to 160C (320F) and bake for another 20 minutes.

Today I made some spaghetti spiders with the girls. This dish is very simple to make and the kids love it, the perfect combination! The kids can also help preparing it, which they love to do. Easy To Try Recipes Venison Ragout Salmon Teriyaki Salmon-iridescent Shark Rolls with Shrimp Ingredients Dried spaghetti Hot dogs Your favourite pasta sauce (sans the meat) Cut up the hotdogs in bite sized pieces and push the dry spaghetti’s half way through. We used 4 spaghetti’s in each piece, so our spiders end up having four legs on each side. Next boil the spaghetti’s as per the directions on the package. Another great way to cook spaghetti, and any other type of pasta, is to boil it for 3 minutes, turn off your heat source and let it rest for the amount of time noted as cooking time on the package. Our spaghetti was supposed to boil for 8 minutes, so we boiled it for 3 minutes and let it rest in the hot water for another 8 minutes. This should cook your pasta perfectly al dente! This is what they should look like when they are done cooking. Now all that’s left to do is adding your favorite pasta sauce. Thanks to maraz_m_moroz for the original idea!
