Roadhouse Rolls

Let's be honest, I go to a steakhouse for the rolls, as much as the steak. Hot and fluffy with a cinnamon honey butter, I have to be careful not to fill up on this delicious bread before my meal arrives. This is a great recipe for creating these beauties at home  Ingredients: 1 tablespoon honey 6 tablespoons sugar 1 packet  active dry yeast 1 1/4 cup whole milk, warmed  7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided 1 teaspoon kosher salt  2 large eggs, room temperature 3 ½ cups  bread flour In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the 1/4 cup warm milk with 1 teaspoon of honey and yeast, letting it activate the yeast for about 5 minutes. Add the sugar, milk, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and salt and mix until just combined. Add in the eggs, and mix to combine. Add the flour to the yeast mixture, and mix until combined. Scrape the dough into the center of the bowl. Knead the dough on  speed 2 for 4 to 5 minutes occasion...

Boxty

No My genealogy is pretty straight forward. Scotch-Irish, and English. Although I wasn't raised on much cultural foods, I thoroughly enjoy these Irish potato pancakes. You can find hundreds of online posts, and every one will be different. Depending on the area of Ireland they come from, they will vary greatly. Ingredients: 4 medium size russet potatoes  1/4 cup finely diced onions  2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup potato flour or AP flour 1 clove garlic I egg  Salt and pepper to taste. To begin, peel 2 potatoes and dice them. Add the pieces to a pan of water, then cook until tender. Add the butter and mash them to a stiff mashed potato consistency. Peel the other potatoes and shred them with a box grater, or food processor. Lightly sprinkle with salt then wrap the shreds in a kitchen towel. Squeeze as much moisture out as much as possible. Combine the mashed with the shreds adding the flour, egg, garlic, and onions. Mix well. Heat a frying pan over medium heat an...

Sourdough English Muffins

There is something about a freshly toasted English muffin. Split,with all the nooks and crannies filled with melted butter, I think it makes a perfect breakfast side. This is an easy recipe, but takes all night for bulk fermenting. Ingredients: 100 grams active starter 15 grams sugar or honey 225 grams milk 125 grams water 45 grams unsalted butter softened  500 grams AP flour Corn meal for dusting  Start with 100 grams of very active starter. It should be bubbly and risen. Add starter to the bowl of your stand mixer.  Add all ingredients except the corn meal. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for 1 minute. Allow the dough to autolysis for about 60 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the water and milk. After resting, knead dough on speed 2 for about 8 to 10 minutes. Dough will be shiny and somewhat sticky. Cover bowl and allow to rise overnight. You can also transfer the dough to a graduated bowl to better track rise. ...
