Title: ORANGENPLAETZCHEN FROM BRIGITTE SEALING
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings

8 tb Butter (1 stick)soft
1/2 c Light Brown Sugar
2 tb Orange Peel Grated
1/4 ts Salt
1 Egg
1 oz Semisweet Chocolate,very
Finely chopped
1 3/4 c Flour
Glaze:
1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
2 tb Orange Juice
4 tb Lemon Juice

Cream butter, sugar, orange peel, and salt in the
mixer at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, untill light

medium speed. Add the chocolate and the flour and beat
at low speed just enough to combine. Divide the dough,
flatten each half into a 6-inch circle, wrap in
plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or, better
yet, overnight. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to
375 F. Roll out each circle of dough, one at a time,
between sheets of lightly flowered waxed paper until

rolling. Carefully pel off the top piece of paper and,
using 2 1/2 inch round cutters, cut the dough-still on
the bottom sheet of wax paper- into rounds but do not
lift from paper. Slide the paper of dough on a
cookiesheet and set in the freezer for 5 minutes. Than
use small spatula to remove the cookies and space 1
inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the
cookies in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes, or
until lightly browned on the edges. Transfer at once
to wire racks. For the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar

THE GREAT GLUTEN TURKEY, PART ONE

——– ———— ——————————–
10 lb Whole wheat flour

1/3 c Light yeast flavoring
-1/2 cup if using vital

-smaller squares to cover
-“turkey” in 2 – 3 layers
8 c Stuffing of choice

—- Great Glutten Dressing
2 tb Margarine
1 Large onion, chopped
2 Stalks celery, chopped
6 oz Mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 lb Bread crumbs
1 1/2 ts Sage
1 1/2 ts Marjoram
1 1/2 ts Thyme
1 t Salt
1 c Stock
—– Gravey For “Turkey”
2 ts Margarine
2 1/2 tb Flour
1 c Reserved gluten stock
-from “turkey” recipe
1 tb White wine
Several dashes soy sauce
1 tb Light Yeast Flovoring
-see recipe, optional

The yuba must be soaked and reconstituted to a soft,
pliable texture before using. It is best to put
individual sheets between wet towels until they turn
soft and white in color. They are then ready to use.
Using either wheat flour or vital wheat gluten flour,
make gluten according to the recipe. Roll it out into
a rectangle approximately 15 inches long and 8 to 10
inches wide. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup yeast flavoring
(unless you’ve added it in with your vital wheat
gluten). Roll it up lengthwise. Spread out the
cheesecloth and place the glutten roll in the middle.
Wrap the sides of the cloth around the glutten roll
first, then tie the ends together. It should be
wrapped fairly loosely so that the gluten can expand a
little while cooking but not so loose that it expands
too much and becomes too soft and spongy in texture.
Place the roll in a large pot. Pour over it the gallon
of water and the remaining 2/3 cup yeast flavoring.
Cover bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer
for 1 1/2 hours. This process can be done up to two
days before serving. Prepare the stuffing of your
choice. Remove the gluten roll from the stock, saving
the stock for gravy. Untie and remove the cheesecloth.
Unroll the “turkey” and fill it with the stuffing, or
mound the stuffing on a large greased baking sheet and
place the gluten around it. Place the stuffed gluten
on a large greased baking sheet. Reconstitute the yuba
as mentioned before, by soaking for 5 minutes in water
in a flat, shallow dish or between layors of wet
towels. It will turn white and be pliable but will
still be fragile. Cover the “turkey” with two to
three layers of yuba. Melt the margarine and brush
the entire “turkey” with some of it. Pour the wine
into the remaining margarine: this will be used for
basting while baking. If desired, 2 tablespoons of
the yeast flavoring can be added to the margarine-wine
mixture to give it an even more authentic flavor.

For all the experts on this list, Please give us your recommendations on
how much one cup of flour should weigh for bread baking!

I know that by weighing flour, as opposed to measuring it, that I can
achieve more consistent results in my bread machine. It is also easier to
weigh flour than it is to “sprinkle” the flour into a cup.

My dilemna is that I have seen widely varying weights for one cup of flour.
I also know that all flours do not weigh the same, ie, one cup of bread
flour does not weigh the same as one cup of rye.

Weight of flour PER CUP:

4 3/8 ounces or 125 grams all-purpose flour (USDA)
4 5/8 ounces or 130 grams all-purpose flour (Gold Medal)

4 1/4 ounces or 120 grams whole wheat flour (USDA)
4 1/2 ounces or 128 grams whole wheat flour (Gold Medal)

4 1/2 ounces or 127 grams bread flour (USDA)
4 3/4 ounces or 135 grams bread flour (Gold Medal)

3 5/8 ounces or 102 grams rye flour (USDA)

King Arthur says ALL flour types weigh 4 oz (113 grams) per cup.

This variance ranges from as little as one tablespoon up to 8 tablespoons
per cup of flour! Now, that is a lot of difference!

In my own weighing, I have found that one cup of flour for me is usually
within the range of the USDA and Gold Medal numbers, but I can make a cup
weigh almost anything I want. 🙂

I cannot believe the King Arthur number of only 4 ounces per cup of flour.
I am finding that I typically need to reduce the water in my bread by 1-2
tablespoons using the heavier cups of flour. If I used the KA 4 oz., I’d
have mud, not dough. And, in the case of a rye loaf, it would be much too
dry.
