Brown Butter Banana Bread with Coffee and Nutella

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, Banana, brown butter, brown sugar, espresso, extra-large eggs, Nutella, vanilla extract

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_6784-e1617219729973.jpgThe folks over at Leite’s Culinaria posted this terrific sounding Banana Bread with Nutella.  Yes.  Nutella.  And I had a jar of Nutella in the cupboard, and several very ripe bananas just waiting for such a recipe.  But…and you knew there would be a “but”, didn’t you?  Because The Goddess can never, ever just leave a recipe alone.  This time, I think you’ll be very happy that she didn’t!

Flexible Roll Dough, Sweet or Savory

12 Saturday Dec 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Bread, Breakfast, Herbs, Lunch, Make Ahead, Parmesan, Spices, Vegetarian Option

≈ 3 Comments

Not a very sexy title, is that?  I was going to call it “The Tale of Two Coils” but, I decided a straight-forward, actual description was the way to go.  So here we are.  And it’s a pretty delicious place to be.  This is my basic, go to roll dough recipe, but with options!  Continue reading →

Mount Pelion Cheese Bread

03 Saturday Oct 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Bread, Feta, Mediterranean Flavors, Vegetarian

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

all-purpose flour, black olives, black pepper, bread flour, dillweed, dry milk powder, egg, feta cheese, honey, instant yeast, kosher salt, olive oil, orange zest, sesame seeds

This is a great dough to work with and the fillings are really limitless. Mount Pelion, which took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in Greece. The local cuisine specializes in charcuterie, and a hearty stew called, spentzofáï. These little breads resemble a Mount, and would be a perfect accompaniment to either the charcuterie or a stew.

Apple Fritter Bread

all-purpose flour, apple cider, apples, arrowroot, brown sugar, butter, dry milk powder, eggs, instant yeast, lemon juice, powdered sugar, Spices, sugar

I was flying around the InterWebs and ran across a reference to Apple Fritter Bread, and I thought it sounded wonderful…but that one was a quick bread.  I wanted a yeast bread and then I found one.  So I took to my handy-dandy roll recipe and made a change here and there, so here we are!  This dough is pillowy soft and somewhat sticky, but a dream to work with.  I takes a bit longer for it to raise, because it’s both rich and sweet.  You know, good things!

Potato-Rye Bread with Caraway & Onion

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

all-purpose flour, black onion seeds, bread flour, caraway, cocoa, dry milk powder, dry minced onions, instant yeast, mashed potatoes, molasses, oil, rye flour, vital gluten

Did you know that during the Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century), much of Europe, certainly the peasants, ate rye (or barley) bread?  Funny how things change.  Now, rye bread is enjoyed by almost everyone, and did I mention that it is the very foundation for that wonderful comestible called “The Reuben”?  Continue reading →

Everyday Cinnamon Rolls

18 Friday Sep 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in cinnamon rolls

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

all-purpose flour, brown sugar, butter, dry powdered milk, eggs, instant yeast, kosher salt, Spices, sugar, water

This is more or less the Everyday Bread recipe, but with additional butter, egg and sugar and using all-purpose flour.  I decided to give you an actual recipe, rather than try to alter it…I did that, but even I found it confusing.  Confusing is bad.  Understanding is good…and it leads to much better results!

butter, dry powdered milk, egg, instant yeast, kosher salt, sugar, water, white flour

It seems that everyone is baking bread these pandemic days.  Particularly sour dough, which The Goddess wandered into, when yeast was not so readily available.  But, she’s returned to her roots…the bread you eat everyday!  A good, basic loaf…. Continue reading →

Our young and charming friend, Lauryn, likes to cook.  And she’s good at it.  She texted me a picture of an orb of bread she made.  It looked fabulous, so naturally I asked for the recipe.  Bless her heart for sharing it with me!  Continue reading →

avocado, Carrots, cilantro, cucumber, daikon radish, flour tortillas, hot peppers, salsa cremosa, sriracha sauce, Vietnamese-Flavored Meatloaf

So we had Vietnamese-Flavored Meatloaf on Friday, and it’s hot today, so perfect day to satisfy my Banh Mi craving.  But, I decided to lighten it up a bit and make a wrap, instead of a sandwich…and I didn’t have the bread, but I did have flour tortillas.  Continue reading →

Buttermilk-Cheese Quick Bread with Fresh Herbs

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Bread, Cheese, Herbs, Quick, Vegetarian

≈ 1 Comment

Tags

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, black pepper, buttermilk, cheddar cheese, fresh herbs, olive oil, parmesan cheese

Okay, so this should really be called “Cheese-Herb” Quick Bread, because there’s way more cheese than herb.  But, I think the herbs are much more of a forward flavor, than the cheese…whatever you call it, doesn’t matter.  Just make it… Continue reading →
