The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook Part 25

Any stuffing that will not fit into the bird or meat can go into a covered ca.s.serole (and can be refrigerated until there is room in the oven). Before baking the dressing, moisten it with 1 1/2 cup broth, white wine, or water, to subst.i.tute for the roasting juices. Bake, covered with foil, at 350F, until the stuffing registers 165F on an instant-read thermometer. cup broth, white wine, or water, to subst.i.tute for the roasting juices. Bake, covered with foil, at 350F, until the stuffing registers 165F on an instant-read thermometer.

After the meal, remove all the stuffing from the bird and refrigerate it separately. Rolled meats and stuffed pork chops don't require this precaution.

PAIN DE PARIS.

Baguette dough used to be called pain de Paris, pain de Paris, or Parisian bread. The French Bread cycle will give this dough three full rises with rests in between called or Parisian bread. The French Bread cycle will give this dough three full rises with rests in between called autolyses, autolyses, which are terribly important for developing the gluten structure, and therefore a good, chewy texture and strong flavor. While this dough is best when formed into the familiar long rod (program for the Dough cycle in Step 3 and see which are terribly important for developing the gluten structure, and therefore a good, chewy texture and strong flavor. While this dough is best when formed into the familiar long rod (program for the Dough cycle in Step 3 and see Technique: Shaping Long Loaves of Pain de Paris for Oven Baking Technique: Shaping Long Loaves of Pain de Paris for Oven Baking), it can also be fully baked in the machine as instructed here. It has a traditional French starter known as a pate fermentee, pate fermentee, or "old dough," a pre-ferment that is as thick and silky as a bread dough.

1 recipe Pain de Paris Pain de Paris dough dough1 egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon of water, for glaze [image]Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease two thin 2-inch-wide baguette pans. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions.

[image]Flatten each portion into a thin 10-by-inch rectangle with the palm of your 6-inch rectangle with the palm of your hand. Starting on a long side, roll up, using your thumbs to help roll tightly. With the side of your hand, define a depression lengthwise down the center of the dough. Fold over and pinch seams to seal. Gently transfer, seam side down, to the prepared pan. No dough will hang over the ends of the pan. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until fully doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.

With a small, sharp knife, slash the surface 3 or 4 times on the diagonal, no more than 14 inch deep. Place the pans directly on the stone and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped with your finger. Remove the loaves from the pans immediately to cool on a rack.

[image]Leftover Bread Cookery: Stuffed-Under-the-Skin Roast Chicken Serves 4

My mom makes a fabulous roast chicken, and when it is stuffed it is even better. While this recipe has the stuffing strategically placed under the skin, if you triple the stuffing recipe, you can stuff the cavity instead. Fresh breadcrumbs are a must. Serve this chicken with garlic mashed potatoes.

For the herb stuffing: 1 large shallot, minced1 clove garlic, pressed3 tablespoons b.u.t.ter or margarine1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs, such as tarragon, thyme, or sage2/3 cup fresh coa.r.s.e breadcrumbs from white, whole wheat, or flavored bread cup fresh coa.r.s.e breadcrumbs from white, whole wheat, or flavored breadFor the chicken: One 51/2-pound roasting chicken Juice of 1 lemon Salt and fresh-ground black pepper [image]Preheat the oven to 400F.

[image]To make the stuffing, combine the shallot, garlic, and b.u.t.ter in a microwave-proof bowl. Partially cover with plastic wrap and heat on high until soft, about 3 minutes. Combine the rest of the stuffing ingredients in a medium bowl with the shallot mixture.

[image]To prepare the chicken, rub the inside and skin of the chicken with the lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan. With your fingers, break the membrane at the vent opening at one side of the breast bone and work your forefinger under the skin to make a pocket on the breast and thigh, taking care not to tear the skin while you are doing this. Repeat on the other side. This is easier than it sounds.

[image]Spread half the stuffing in an even layer under the skin with your fingers. Repeat with the other side. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Rub the outside of the chicken with some olive oil.

[image]Reduce the oven temperature to 375F and place the chicken in the center of the hot oven.

FRESH HERB AND NUT STUFFING BREAD.

I recommend that you keep bags of cubed stuffing bread in the freezer, then it will be ready any time you want to make a stuffed food for dinner. Fresh herbs, which are delicate and pungent, make a very different stuffing bread than dried herbs do. Use your own combination of dill, chives, oregano, marjoram, lovage, thyme, or chervil, combined with plenty of parsley. recommend that you keep bags of cubed stuffing bread in the freezer, then it will be ready any time you want to make a stuffed food for dinner.

FRESH HERB STUFFING BREAD WITH FENNEL SEED AND PEPPER.

You can choose your own herb mix for this bread. Use one or any combination of parsley, basil, chervil, Spanish oregano, thyme, or marjoram. Grind the black, white, or red peppercorns in a hand grinder; you want coa.r.s.e pieces. This bread can be used either the day it is made or day-old for poultry stuffings.

CORNMEAL STUFFING BREAD.

Cornmeal stuffings are usually made with a baking powder cornbread, but a yeasted one like this that incorporates corn kernels also works beautifully. You can make this bread, have a few slices with dinner, and then cube and freeze the rest to have on hand for stuffing. Use it to stuff a turkey, or to fill large, fresh Anaheim chiles before baking.

PROSCIUTTO STUFFING BREAD.

This bread makes a more a.s.sertive stuffing than the ones made just with herbs, since the prosciutto adds a strong salty flavor. Use coa.r.s.ely ground black pepper from your pepper grinder. Have the deli slice the prosciutto paper-thin, then chop it before you add it to the bread pan. Be sure to store this bread in the refrigerator, as the prosciutto makes it very perishable. This is good with fish or chicken as a stuffing bread, or to eat with soup and salad.

CHEESE BREADS.

Cheese and bread-there's a natural pairing. For the palate that desires variety but appreciates simplicity, a bit of cheese makes a simple dough into something really special. Knowledgeable cheese lovers may dote on the rustic European cheeses like Locatelli (in the Romano family), rich creamy St. Andre with its powdery rind and woven straw mat (used instead of Brie), Emmenthaler from the Jura Mountains (in place of a less flavorful domestic Swiss), young fresh whole milk ricotta (heaven on a spoon), and fresh mozzarella that needs to be sliced in an old-fashioned egg slicer because it is so slippery (the softer the cheese, the fresher it needs to be). Regular old bakers like myself love the cheeses from their childhood, such as Colby, cheddar, Parmesan, feta, and Monterey Jack. They are easy to find and their predictable flavors delight over and over again. You will find a whole range of cheeses incorporated into these recipes.

Cheese is ephemerally flavored; treat it with care and respect, whether it is an accompaniment to your fresh baked breads, melted between grilled slices, or an integral part of the ingredient list or filling. In your breads, expect the cheese to influence the character of the loaf; the texture will be more moist and the flavor more distinct. In bread machine baking, cheese is counted proportionally as part of the liquid ingredients and, unless it is called for in little cubes or chunks, can be added with the main ingredients at the beginning of the cycle. Don't be tempted to use the dark crust setting for any cheese breads since they have a tendency to overbrown easily; a light or medium crust is best. These breads should be stored in the refrigerator once they have cooled.

RICOTTA AND FRESH CHIVE BREAD.

Ricotta was originally a fresh, soft cheese made with the whey left over from producing mozzarella. It is a smooth, small curd, Italian white cheese that is made in America, too. Ricotta may be made from either whole milk or part-skim (the closest in flavor to traditional Italian ricotta), each very different in taste. This is a recipe I got from one of my recipe testers who lives in California's Napa Valley. She raved about it and said it was her first real success at breadmaking. It is chock full of fresh chives, which have a more subtle flavor than scallions or regular onions, and add a nice flecked appearance to every slice. Since it is such a delicately flavored bread, eat this fresh. It loses its subtle nature after being frozen. Serve this with pasta dishes.

COTTAGE CHEESE DILL BREAD.

I would be remiss not to include this recipe, as it is wildly popular with home bakers. And for good reason. An herbaceous bread that has its roots in Mennonite country, it has successfully made the transition from a traditional yeast bread and ca.s.serole loaf to the bread machine. Many people add the shallot raw, but I like to cook it a bit first. I recommend using small curd cottage cheese, and dried dill weed that is not faded-a signal that it would be lacking in flavor. The texture of this bread is quite moist and delicate, making great toast and savory bread puddings. would be remiss not to include this recipe, as it is wildly popular with home bakers.

FARMSTYLE COTTAGE CHEESE BREAD.

Cottage cheese breads were once very familiar to home bakers in rural areas, due to the excess of fresh dairy products. Milk and starter were heated together until large curds formed, then the mixture was drained and salted. The delicate sour taste and acid of cottage cheese make for a tender bread. While all cottage cheese is made from skim milk, when it is as low as 1 percent, the tub will be labeled "lowfat"; that is what I call for here. Cottage cheese is excellent piled on fresh bread with applesauce, jam, or olives. This is a wonderful sandwich bread and it is a great keeper, staying fresh for three days. This dough is also suitable for making soft pretzels (follow instructions for baked pretzels baked pretzels,).

Swiss cheese conjures up a picture of a firm cheese riddled with holes, some the size of a dime and some the size of a quarter. The domestic Swiss that is available in prepackaged hunks has a mild taste in comparison to some of the hundred varieties that fall under the moniker of this cheese. In some parts of the world, Swiss is a cheese esteemed on a par with Brie. Whatever type of Swiss you use, it is a wonderful cheese in, or with, bread.
