Italian Bread

Submitted by Tom Katona

Ingredients:

1 package fast rising yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup hot water

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon Canola oil

3 cups flour

Egg whites

Sesame seeds (optional)

Mix yeast, sugar, salt, Canola oil with 3 cups flour

Add hot water

Using Kitchen Aid Mixer with dough hook, mix till combined and soft

Dough should be soft but not dry or sticky

Might need to add a little more flour or water to get the correct texture

Put dough in another bowel and pour some oil over dough, turn dough around so dough is covered in oil

Place plastic wrap over dough

Place dish towel over bowel and set bowl in warm place and let dough rise until it doubles in size

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Take dough out of bowel and place on backing sheet and shape into a loaf. Cover with plastic wrap and towel and let rise again until it is about the size of a loaf of Italian Bread

Heat oven to 375 degrees

Before putting dough in oven, cut four crosswise slits in top of dough, brush with egg whites and sprinkle with sesame seeds

Bake for 25-30 minutes

While baking spray oven with water (spritz) to create steam. Do this at 3, 6, and 9 minutes of baking time. This will give you a crusty bread with a soft inside.

Crock Pot Candy

Submitted by Karin Saywell

Ingredients:

2 pounds white almond bark

4 ounce German chocolate bar

12 ounce bag semisweet

chocolate chips

24 ounces dry roasted peanuts

Optional

You can substitute 24 ounces of raisins or include them with the nuts

Remember Chunky candy bars?

Add all ingredients to crockpot.

Let cook on low for one hour without messing with it.

After 1 hour, stir to combine everything.

Allow to cook for another hour, stirring about every 30 minutes.

Keep cooking until all ingredients are combined.

Drop by spoonfuls (I use a cookie scoop) onto wax paper or parchment paper.

Allow to cool completely.

Enjoy!
