-In a bowl mix the yeast, water, flour, salt and olive oil.
-Knead it for 12min, don't use flour to dust it (the dough has to look uniform, smooth and fluffy)
-Put back into the bowl, cover it, wait 1h. The dough to double in size.
-Spread the dough over a lightly flour dusted surface, fold it into a ball, then make it into a longer shape so it fits the loaf pan nicely, coat the loaf pan with some olive oil, put the loaf inside the loaf pan, dust some flour over it, cover it, wait 1h. The dough has to double in size.

>>64753The trick is to scroll down to the "recipe card". This lists all the ingredients and steps in a concise way. If you need more information about how to do the steps they will usually have that up top. Cook books don't have ratings or reviews so it's easier to find mediocre recipes in them. Usually highly rated recipes with lots of reviews are good. I will post some of my favorite internet recipes that I have bookmarked with any modifications I do.
https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/chicken-marsala.htmlThis is one of my favorites but it needs some modification. First off just buy chicken cutlets, don't bother cutting a breast in half. It's also not necessary to waste a ziplock bag to coat the chicken in flour, just salt and pepper it first, then pour some flour on a plate and dip each side in the flour. Then instead of using oil and butter to fry the chicken in, I recommend frying up around 4 pieces of bacon first and frying the chicken in the bacon grease. Then when you cook the mushrooms you can use the remaining grease and add some butter. I also add a diced yellow onion or half a vidalia onion in with the mushrooms and cook until they've yellowed some. The marsala wine is expensive but you can make this dish many time with a single bottle and it is definitely worth it. Cut up the bacon into pieces and add it back into the dish along with the chicken. I recommend using lots of pepper and a moderate amount of salt. You can add these when serving though to individual taste.
https://tasty.co/recipe/spinach-artichoke-mac-cheeseDouble the spinach. Use extra sharp cheddar and bump up the cheddar and decrease the mozarella slightly.
https://www.thecookierookie.com/easy-chicken-tikka-masala/This is good just how it is, but it is time consuming. You can mix up double or triple batches of the spice mixes to save time if you plan to make it more than once. This is one of the ones that is tasty enough to make over and over again just like chicken marsala imo.
https://www.errenskitchen.com/seriously-best-broccoli-life/Don't overcrowd the pan, cut up your florets fairly small and make sure to slice the garlic very thin. You want to cook it until it is almost burnt so it gets nice and crispy. Don't be afraid to use lots of olive oil.
https://www.inspiredtaste.net/7179/sweet-and-spicy-oven-baked-ribs/Use a good dry rub and barbecue sauce and this is very good and very easy.
https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a28650213/cauliflower-au-gratin-recipe/https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/classic-french-cassoulet/This is quite time consuming, but worth it. Note that you will need a fairly big pot for this one and it will need to be able to go in the oven. Modifications for this one: again, start by cooking about 4 strips of bacon. Instead of using raw sausage, just use pre-cooked. I like polish kielbasa for this. Skip the sausage browning step and just add in the cut-up sausage and the cut-up bacon after you deglaze the pot. I also use duck fat to cook the chicken and veggies in. You can buy jars of duck fat in the grocery store or you can render it from actual duck if you have the money to roast a duck. If your leeks are small you may want to use more than 1 like 1.5. I also use 2 carrots. Everything else is fine.
https://www.spendwithpennies.com/the-best-spinach-artichoke-dip/This is good but somewhat decadent. I like to up the spinach amount somewhat. If you use frozen spinach don't forget to squeeze it dry.
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/grilled-peach-rice-arugula-salad/This is fucking delicious. Just make sure to actually cook the peaches through. I can't wait until peach season comes around so I can make this again.
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/grilled-flatbread-veggie-pizza/vegetarian, easy, and tasty.
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/rosemary-salmon-and-veggies/This is very easy and tasty. I always cook salmon in the oven because it comes out much more moist. You definitely need a meat thermometer. I put it under the broiler once it hits 120 or so and then broil it to 135. I prefer to use butter rather than olive oil on the fish, but it's good either way.
https://therealfooddietitians.com/one-pan-salmon-and-veggie-bake/Another salmon and veggie variation. Slightly more involved but still very good.
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/air-fryer-spinach-feta-turnovers/Also vegetarian. I up the spinach slightly. Don't forget to squeeze it dry.
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020843-jalapeno-poppersThese are a fair amount of work but quite tasty. Make sure to use thin-cut bacon.
https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/halifax-donair/Time-consuming, but tasty. I up the pepper a bit and decrease the sugar a bit. It's not necessary to suspend the meat log on stakes or anything either, you can just wrap it in foil and cook it lying on the baking sheet.
https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/pad-thai/#recipeI like to use chunky peanut butter, shrimp, and it's fine with other types of sprouts if you can't find bean sprouts. I actually prefer it with broccoli sprouts and I up the amount a bit over what it calls for.
https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/277676/vegan-shepherds-pie/This is frankly a pain in the ass to make but very tasty and it should be quite healthy. Regular shepard's pie is also quite tasty, but for some reason I don't have a recipe for that bookmarked.

Cappuccino flats
Spiced meringue cookies
Chocolate crinkles
Peppermint molasses
Brown butter chocolate chip with toffee

If I get started and it's more of a pain in the ass than I thought I will probably do less varieties and just give to my immediate family. I still don't know if I want to get into giving to extended family. Could be a can of worms. I have heard to make them and portion them out on a cookie sheet then freeze them on the sheet and after they're frozen you can bag them. Makes sense to me. Everything but the meringue cookies should work that way and then I would need to make the meringues on christmas day. I will probably cook some of the cookies that say they store fine on christmas eve and do the rest on christmas day. Actually I might leave out the meringues because I don't think they store well, everything else should store fine in tins I think.

the caramel hazelnut linzer ones look like the biggest pain in the ass to do so if anything gets chopped it will be them especially since I couldn't get hazelnuts at the store I shopped at so I would have to go somewhere else and shop again for them.

I made chan chan yaki today which is a salmon dish from hokkaido with butter, onions, cabbage, carrots, and garlic. Shiro miso, sake, scallions and bonito flakes top the salmon. It was quite good. Now I finally know what miso and bonito flakes taste like. Both solid ingredients as far as I am concerned. Miso was quite salty, bonito flakes are like lox only dried and concentrated in flavor. I was somewhat surprised to see big old strips of fish in there. They are all incredibly thin but some were quite large nonetheless. Had to chop them up into a bits with a knife before adding them on top. I had imagined them being brittle and crunchy but they're actually paper thin and flexible.

Mine was fairly similar but I used a 1 lb piece of fillet rather than those medallions they have (and also regular cabbage rather than chinese cabbage). Probably has something to do with why it took 4x as long to cook as what the recipe said it would. I was skeptical it would cook that fast having cooked salmon before and sure enough it took the usual 15-20 minutes to cook that it usually does. I think that turned out to be a good thing though because the miso, sake, and sugar solution they have you put on top was a little thick and I don't think it would have had time to melt down off the salmon and into all the vegetables in the 4 minutes they say it should have taken. As it came out the vegetables were all quite soft but that was fine, they were delicious.

I made black garlic and mushroom risotto. It also had some asparagus cut up and put in it along with shallots, butter, white wine, salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. I used vegetable stock for the liquid. It was pretty good. The black garlic was not at all what I was expecting. It has a flavor profile resembling some sort of dried fruit only with garlic undertones. It came as entire heads of garlic. For some reason when you open up the peel, the inside cloves have all melded into one and whatever paper is usually on them has degraded into nothing. The garlic is very soft and mushy and, of course, black. I used two heads sliced into pieces plus most of another one that I mushed up. If that were normal garlic that would have been really overpowering but it ended up being rather subtle. Very interesting flavor that I'm not sure how to best utilize. I will have to try a few more dishes that call for it because I still have a few heads left.
I'm not all that keen on risotto I think. It's a somewhat above average tasting dish, especially for a vegetarian dish, but it takes a long time to do and you have to keep stirring it all that time so it's not like a comfy pot dish you can just let bubble or an oven roast or something. The overall flavor profile is somewhat bland too. It's basically like a mac and cheese done with rice and with a few extras. I don't get people who rave about risotto like it's the best thing ever. It's good, but so many other dishes have more depth to them. The mushrooms were the best part. I put in a pound of them, but next time I think I will put in a pound and a half.

>>67406I've been nibbling on a head of the black garlic this morning to get more familiar with what it tastes like. It really is one of the more unique gustatory sensations I've had. The initial notes are bright and sweet and vaguely fruity, then you get a nice sweet and nutty caramel flavor that starts to come out and the aftertaste is nicely savory garlicky with a bit of buttery nuttiness. There are garlic undertones throughout but you don't really notice them much until the end when the more dominant fruity flavors are gone. Not sure how to utilize this yet but I hear people say it goes well with homemade mayo. I've never made mayo so this might be a good excuse to try. It seems quite easy as long as you have an immersion blender, which I do.

I made cassoulet tonight. It takes a lot of effort so I usually only make it a few times a year. I wish I could get duck here for cheap so I could make it right, but it's still quite tasty with chicken. It has bacon, sausage, chicken, leek, onion, carrots, shallots, garlic, white kidney beans, a little white wine, and a few herbs and seasonings. I usually prefer kielbasa but they didn't have any so I got bratwurst. Pretty similar. Picture included for the anon who likes pictures.

I made some baby back pork ribs tonight. Ribs are one of the easiest and most delicious things you can make. I find you need about a pound per person to really pig out on them and at $10 a pound that is somewhat pricey, but it is absolutely worth it for how easy/delicious it is.
>season with dry spices
>wrap in foil
>bake at 275 for 2.5 hours
>slather on sauce ( I like stubbs mixed with some sriracha and vinegar)
>broil for a couple of minutes
that's it and it comes out amazing every time. If you've never cooked ribs before, do yourself a favor and buy some next time you go shopping.

> cooked with poblano peppers
>just ripped the seeds out by hand because it's way easier and it's just poblanos it's not like they're spicy
>after dinner I notice my balls are burning a little
>wipe my eyes a few times and notice they start to burn
>realize I got a little spicy fingers but the ball burn was mild and went away so I just ignored it for a few hours
>fingers starting to feel a little spicier and I can't stop accidentally wiping my eyes so I figure I'll just take a quick shower and rinse it all off
>get out of shower and realize my fingers are now BURNING like I just scraped the backs of them on sandpaper or something
>fingers still burning 6 fucking hours since I deseeded them
wtf man, I thought poblanos weren't that spicy. Last time I underestimate a poblano, gotta wash that shit quick.

I've been grilling a lot lately because the weather is nice. It's annoying how good stuff comes out on the grill. Annoying because you can't always do it because of the weather. I've been catching stuff on fire by accident and it comes out good. I think being cooked in the fire from the fat of the meat makes it taste better and the higher temp makes the outside get a little crispy and charred without over cooking the inside.
