Crusty Bread Recipe – NO Dutch Oven-NO Sourdough!

You guys asked for this and I delivered! Once you make the dough, let it rest for half an hour and I like to do 2 sets of stretch and fold 30 minutes apart, then once you’re done your second session you let it rest about 20 minutes then form it into a “loaf” (you can also do it round) and place it on a lightly floured baking sheet, cover and let it rest an our or so or until doubled. This is when I like to preheat my oven (because mine usually takes an hour to rise) to 450 and I place one of the racks in the center of the oven and another right below it. Place a 9x13” baking pan (metal ) to the bottom rack and let that preheat as well (you want the oven and pan really nice and hot) when ready, lightly flour your bread, score nicely and place it on the middle rack of your oven and immediately add 2.5 cups of water of to the baking dish below and quickly close the door. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the baking dish with the water and bake another 15/20 minutes or until deeply golden. Allow to cool a bit before slicing into it! 3.5 cups of all purpose flour 2 tsp of sugar 2 tsp of instant yeast 2 tsp of salt 1.5 cups of warm water

Sheet Pan Frittata – Easy Brunch Favorite

When the garden is booming with zucchini, one of my favorite things to make with it is a sheetpan zucchini frittata. It’s so delicious but incredibly easy, great for meal prep and fantastic to make for a big brunch. I serve is on ciabatta rolls or as is with any side like salad or fruit for a brunch, it’s also great on a toasted bagel with a little shmear of cream cheese (trust ya girl!!!) recipe is listed below for a standard 18x13” half sheet pan (standard normal baking sheet) but make sure you’re not using a baking sheet that has really shallow sides! 16 eggs 3/4 cup of milk 3-4 small/medium zucchini and/or yellow squash, thinly sliced Half an onion, thinly sliced or diced 2 tbsp or so of olive oil 8oz of cheese, I like a cheddar here but also use Swiss a lot because we love the combo Plenty of salt and pep Good grading of parm I cook my zucchini and onions in some olive oil and pinch of salt long enough to develop some good color and break down then allow to cool completely. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, once your mix is ready, I like to drizzle the sheet pan with a little oil and pop it in the oven for 10 minutes so it gets really hot and your eggs won’t stick but if using a stainless steel sheet pan, lay some parchment down because there’s a high risk the eggs will stick (I I used a nonstick) bake for 30 minutes and it’s perfect literally every time. Feel free to use other veggies, just cook and adjust accordingly, some veggies are super water loaded so might run the risk of your end result having an off texture so keep that in mind.
