INGREDIENTS

SCALE

1. DOUGH PREP: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and yeast together until mixed. Stir in the water until a chunky, thick dough forms. If it needs a little more water, add a few more tablespoons, just enough to get it barely wet throughout. It’s gonna look scrappy and weird and you’re going to question me on whether or not this will work, but it will. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature. Overnight is ideal here, kids.
   
2. PREP FOR BAKING: When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450. Stick a 6 quart enamel coated cast iron Lodge Dutch Oven (or similar) in the oven for about 30 minutes to heat. At this point, the dough should be big and puffy and pretty loose, with little bubbles in it. Gently scrape the dough out onto a well-floured surface. (Remember: NO KNEAD.) Gently shape it into a ball with flour on the outside, set on a piece of parchment, and cover with plastic while your pan heats up.
   
3. BAKE: Remove the plastic from the dough. Lift the dough and parchment together into the pan so the parchment lines the bottom of the hot pan (be careful not to touch the pan since it’s very hot). Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake another 10-15 minutes to get the exterior nice and golden brown and crispy. Voila! Done. Miracle no-knead bread, you boss you.

ICE CREAM CAKE!!!!!!!

Here is the ice cream cake recipe. Note: The best pans to make it with are these really cool ones, I borrowed them from Julie Roundy and just ordered some that will be here soon, if you want to borrow them to make your cake for the 4th of July, I think she would be great with that. You need to start on the cake at least the day before so it can have time to freeze overnight and then add the ice cream, etc. I have the cool pans and she doesn't come home until Saturday, I can text her to make sure it is okay, but the cake seems to turn out awesome with the pans she has.

3 Cups brown sugar 1 cup butter 4 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 2 2/3 c. flour 3/4 c. cocoa 1 Tbsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/3 c. sour cream 1 1/3 c. boiling water

Mixing bowl add brown sugar and butter, cream them together, then add eggs and beat on high until light and fluffy, then add the vanilla.

Add flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, then add the sour cream and the boiling water, mix on low. It will all blend together and look like a cake mix.

Pour into 3 greased 9 inch pans, bake 350 for 30 minutes. Note: Grease your pans really well or use the baking Pam so the cakes won't stick.

Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes before removing, I put mine individually on wax paper and then let them freeze.

After the cakes are frozen, add the ice cream to the layer, you use 1/2 gallon between the cakes, or when I first made it, I just made two layers and one 1/2 gallon and ate the third cake, lol.

You want to let the ice cream sit and defrost just a little bit before adding it to the cake, it will go between the cakes better if you do this.

After the cakes are frozen and you have added the ice cream, add the frosting.

Frosting recipe"

3 tbsp. butter 3 tbsp. milk 2/3 cup sugar

boil this

Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips, then add to the top of the cake right away so it won't harder or settle, it won't frost the whole cake, just the top. Let it freeze and harder again for about 15 minutes or so and you will have yourself a great ice cream cake!

Good luck! Sorry, it is actually really easy to make, but these directions seem really long!

Katy Coconut Cookies

1 egg white, beaten
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pkg. Guittard milk chocolate chips (they are big and the best, I think you can get them at Target)
1 pkg. Bakers coconut (has to be this brand, Amanda says you can get this at Target too)
pinch salt
Mix altogether 

These cookies need to be baked at 350, I think for 8-10 minutes.  Watch them closely until the coconut starts to turn light brown
You need to bake them on a silpat sheet or parchment paper, not directly on the cookie sheet.

Apple Crisp Yummy and Healthy

Cinnamon Apple Crisp

SERVES: 8 INDIVIDUAL SERVINGS

 

INGREDIENTS

Apple Filling

• 2 large apples, a combination of varieties works best (I used a Honey Crisp, which is similar to Gala and also a green apple)
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons honey

Crumble Topping

• ¾ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup whole-wheat flour
• ½ cup walnuts, chopped (could also substitute pine nuts)
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons honey
• ¼ teaspoon salts 
• (Alternatively this dish can be baked together in one round pie plate.)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Slice the apples into thin 1" pieces. I do this by using an apple slicer and then cutting each slice two more times (both longways and crossways).
3. Toss the apples in a medium sized bowl with the cinnamon, butter, and honey. To make the honey slide right out of the tablespoon (as opposed to sticking) measure out the melted butter first.
4. Evenly divide the apple mixture into 8 half-pint jars (or together in one pie plate if using). Place the jars on a large baking sheet.
5. In the same mixing bowl combine the crumble ingredients including the oats, flour, walnuts, melted butter, honey, and salt. Evenly divide the mixture over top the seasoned apples in the jars.
6. Cover the jars with one large piece of foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, turn the oven up to broil, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer or until the topping turns a light golden brown. Serve with homemade vanilla ice cream (if desired) and enjoy!
