🎷✨Jazz Bread✨🎷

I also call this "gut bread"! Officially it's "savory herb and cheese pull apart bread" but... what a mouthful! This recipe is best made with some funky jazz and a cup of coffee or tea :)

Ingredients:

2 packs of Active Dry Yeast (or 4 1/2 tsp if you use a jar)

1 tsp of sugar

~1 1/2 cups warm water

3 1/2 cups of Flour (and a bit more for kneading)

1 tsp salt

1-2 tbsp olive oil

shredded parmesan cheese (or others as you'd like)

crushed red pepper

black pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

chopped herbs (I used cilantro, parsley, oregano and thyme)

Recipe:

activate your yeast! Toss the 4 1/2 tsp of yeast with about 1/2 cup of warm water. If possible, make sure it's between 100-110°. Stir in with 1 tsp of sugar till it's all dissolved and let sit for 10 minutes.

using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix in the 2 cups of flour, the oil, salt and extra warm water as needed. mix it until its all one big glob (still sticky)

onto that knead-zone! toss it onto a clean surface that's been heartily floured, then knead until its elastic but not tacky.

let it sit in a greased bowl with a towel covering it for an hour, or till doubled in size

while it rises, mix together your spices and your herbs in a normal bowl with a bit of cheese

get that dough and PUNCH IT!!! then, pull it apart into small balls, about a golf balls worth. roll them directly in your seasoning, greasing them up with oil to help them stick as needed

put em all in a sprayed bundt pan*, loosely next to one another. once the first layer is down, sprinkle with cheese. repeat with the last bits of dough, and sprinkle on top again.

Let the dough rise in pan for another hour or so, at least until doubled and fluffy. preheat oven to 350 during this stage- if your oven gets hot while the dough is rising, it can speed up the process.

bake for about 35 minutes. it'll be light on the top layer but crusty to the touch. Let cool till handleable, and serve with tomato sauce or whatever ya want!

Bagels

If you are like me, you love carbs. Especially bagels. Wether you smother them with cream cheese or stack them high with bacon, egg, and cheese, these homemade bagels could not be easier or tastier.

Ingredients:

For the dough- 1 ½ cups warm water (100*-110*)

2 ¾ tsp active dry yeast

4 cups bread flour (you must use bread flour, not AP), plus more for your work surface and your hands

1 tbsp brown sugar

pinch of salt

egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

For boiling- 2 quarts water

1/3 cup high quality honey

For the topping- (optional)

sesame seeds

dried onion

everything seasoning

sea salt

1. Add the warm water and the yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix together lightly and let sit for 5 minutes. While the yeast rises, generously spray a large glass bowl with non stick spray. Set aside. Generously flour a large cutting board and set aside.

2. Add the flour, brown sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes, until everything comes together. The dough will look pretty dry, but that is okay.

3. Turn the dough out onto the floured cutting board and lightly flour your hands. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, until it is nice and smooth. The dough is way too heavy for the stand mixer to knead for that long.

4. Form the dough into a ball and place in the greased bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.

5. While the dough is rising, line an extra large baking sheet with parchment paper or line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. When the the dough is done rising, add the 2 quarts of water to a large, heavy pot (I use a dutch oven), stir in the honey and bring to a boil over high heat. Once it has boiled, turn the heat down to medium high.

Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a cutting board (not floured) and punch it gently to release air. Cut the dough into 8 equal sized pieces (doesn’t have to be perfect, just try your best). Form each piece into a ball, then press your finger through the center of the dough make about a 2 inch hole. Use your hands to shape it into a bagel shape. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheets. Preheat your oven to 425*.

6. Once all the bagels have been formed, put 2 at a time into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute per side (2 mins total). Use a slotted spoon to remove the bagel, shake off excess water, and put it back on the baking sheet. Repeat until all the bagels have been boiled. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops and sides of all the bagels with the egg wash. Then sprinkle on your desired toppings (sesame seeds, onion, everything seasoning, salt) or just leave them plain.

7. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. You want the tops and sides to be golden brown, but the bagel still soft and fluffy to the touch. Remove the bagels from the oven and let cool completely before cutting or sneaking a bite. Enjoy!

** Store the bagels in a plastic bag and seal it tightly. They will stay fresh at room temperature for a few days, in the fridge for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to a month (if they last that long).**

Norwegian Multi-Seed Crispy Bread

Hearty, Norwegian multi-seed crispy bread just like I had in Denmark.

There are several things that I loved about Denmark; the people, the casual lifestyle, the beautiful architecture and of course the food. Copenhagen itself was a city I had heard so much about and it undoubtedly did not disappoint. For one week, a couple years ago, my family and I immersed ourselves in all that the city had to offer from a magical old-school amusement park nestled in the city…
