Pizza Crust a la Marcelo

Seitenanfang
1 plus 1/2 teaspoon of active dry yeast (I have some if you want)
1 cup of lukewarm water
3 plus 1/4 of all purpose flour
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 teaspoons of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar

Dissolve the yeast completely in a large bowl with 1/4 cup of the water. This process should take about 10 min or less. The water MUST NOT be too hot, otherwise it will kill the yeast

Stirring with a wooden spoon or fork, add one cup of flour. Then, as you continue to stir, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the salt, 1/4 of cup of the water and GRADUALLY 1 cup more of flour. When putting in flour and water for the last time, hold back some of both and add only as much of either as you need to make the dough manageable, soft, but not too sticky. (This step is crucial. If you add all the flour at once the dough might become too dry. Add a bit, look, feel...add a bit more and so on...

Take the dough out of the bowl and put it in a superfine with dusted flour, and start to knead the dough. Stretch the dough a bit, reach for the far end, fold it toward you, turn it 90 degrees counter clockwise,  and then push it away again with the heel of your palm. Fold toward you again, turn... and repeat the process. Do this for about 10 minutes, until the dough looks like a baby ass. Add more flour to the your hand and superfine if the dough is too sticky. Shape it up in a ball.

Film the inside of a clean bowl with some olive oil. Put in the dough, cover with plastic film an let it rise threefold. At least 3 hours. NO shortcuts here.

At least 30 minutes before baking, turn the oven on to 450 degrees (the hotter the better). If you want, I can lend you my baking stone and the wooden instrument to place the raw pizza on the stone.  Open the dough with your hands or with the help of a wooden roll and place in the wooden instrument or in a large and shalow tray. Put the toppings, bake it and voila'.

 

Rye Bread

Seitenanfang

In small bowl mix 6 tsp dry yeast (2 pkg) with 1/2 c. warm water.

4 tbsp soft magarine
4 tsp salt
4 c. warm water
2 tbsp caraway seeds (optional)

Add yeast to mixture in large pan. Add flours: 2 c. high gluten flour, 2 c. rye flour and about 7 c. white flour.
Mix with spoon or beater with enough flour to give a consistency for kneading.
Turn onto a floured table and knead in the rest of the flour. Let rise 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down.
Let rise again about 1 hour. Form into four loaves in loaf pans. Let rise 45 min to 1 hour more.
Bake at 350 degrees about 35 minutes.

Rice Crispy Treats

Seitenanfang

Ingredients

Combine the corn syrup, sugar, and p.b. in a dutch oven on the stove or in a really big microwaveable bowl. Heat gently until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring a lot! It will probably need to come to a very gentle boil to do this. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in the rice krispies. Spread into a greased 9x13 or other pan, and chill in the fridge until firm. Cut into squares, and voila!
Here's the trick to making these hold together really well: When you put it into the pan, butter your fingers and press the mixture firmly into the pan.
May be topped with melted chocolate chips, in little drizzles over the cut squares (pretty) or just a flat layer over the whole pan, or you can sub some choc. chips/candy for a teensy bit of the cereal. I like'em best plain, though.
