B/M “SOUR” SOURDOUGH

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Ethnic Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
-Anna Ellis DTXT63A
1 1/4 c Sourdough starter
1/2 c Water
3 c Bread flour
1 tb Melted margarine
2 tb Sugar
1 1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Yeast

This basic recipe was from Anna Ellis (DMSD70C). I
substituted oil for the margarine and with some
experimentation, came up with this technique: Put all
ingredients in the B/M and set on the dough cycle.
When the cycle is complete, leave the dough in the pan
for 3 to 4 more hours. Remove dough and squeeze out
gases. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 20
or 30 minutes minutes. Sprinkle corn meal on a board
and shape dough into two cylindrical loaves. Place
loaves on a cornmeal covered baking sheet. Cover again
with the damp towel and allow to rise for another two
hours. At the end of two hours, refrigerate the dough,
still covered, for at least 12 hours (the longer the
better). Take dough out of the refer, sprinkle with
water, and let it sit out for 4 hours. Sprinkle again
with water then bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until
brown and crusty.

GERMAN PEPPERED BEEF SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
5 lb German peppered beef *
2 lg Yellow onions diced large
1 c Crushed RED BELL peppers **
2 lb Red potatoes
2 lg Carrots
2 Celery stocks (not bunches)
1/4 c Oregeno
1/4 c Sweet basil
1 tb Celery seed
1/8 c Carroway seed
1/2 c Dill weed

* this may be obtained from all of the german deli’s I have ever been in
(which may not be many)… and is basically a rather tough cut of beef
which
has been covered (and I do mean covered) with very large chunks of black
pepper corns (some are even whole)
** if you can not find red bell peppers dried and crushed you will want to
do
it your self for the flavor needed… cut three or four red bell peppers
into
small pieces and spread out on paper towels to dry (or put it in your food
drier if you have one) seeds and all!
FIRST: cut the meat into 1 inch chunks (leaving the precious pepper on
it!),
sear by your favorite method… I prefer a small amount of sesame oil in a
wok.
CROCK POT METHOD: chop everything up into 1 inch chunks throw in the pot,
set
on medium (200 degrees), cover with water plus 1 inch (for the pan as my
mentor said), cook covered (with a lid) stirring every 2 hours or so from
the
bottom for 4 hours, turn to low, cook covered for 6 hours.
PAN METHOD: chop everything into 1 inch chunks, place carrots, celery, and
meat into pan, cook 1 hour at med/low (150 to 160 degrees), add the rest of
the goodies, cook 1 hour.
Ahh a bug found… covered in water both times, better go change it
plus 1 inch for the pan
LAST: refrigerate for at least 6 hours, warm only as much as you will be
eating.
NOTES: you are correct, this method looks a little “ugly”, but having been
taught to make this soup by a german grandmother, and her scottish husband
(my grand father, who also was a chef by trade)… I learned at a very
young
age that what they said usualy worked the best, even though it took more
time.
