Homemade Bread

Cook time: 0 hours 20 minutes

Servings: 10 servings

2 & 1/2 cups bread flour

•1 tablespoon yeast

•2 tablespoons olive oil

•1/4 cup warm water

•1 cup water room temperature

•mix

•add olive oil

•mix dough with your hands until smooth and it doesnt stick to your fingers..add flour a little bit at a time if it gets too sticky..you will also have to add water a little bit at a time until you get a smooth somewhat wet ball of dough..by this time there should be little raw flour left in the pot.

•cover the pot with plastic wrap, make sure its sealed..then cover with a dish towel.

•let sit for an hour

•after an hour, take the ball of dough out.

•throw a little flour on top of your counter

•put the dough on it…the flour on the counter will help it not stick very much to the counter…as you are going to cut the dough in half…set aside one of the halves.

•useing both hands with the half you are going to work with…roll it out on the counter. Think of the shape of the bread and roll it out to about whay you think is the length of a loaf…it will look a little skinny…but dont worry..it will expand in the oven.

•once u have rolled out the dough…mix up the egg….and brush the egg over the dough making sure to really coat the dough with the egg..

•then take a sharp knife and gently make a diagonal cut across the top of the dough starting frpm one side and going to another…about one inch apart.

•then lightly sprinkle whatever seeds u like across the top of the dough.

Quick Ravioli

2 cups all purpose flour,

1/2 cup water

1 egg

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup Tomato sauce with meat in it

pinch of salt

Or 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

Combine flour, egg, salt, olive oil into a large bowl or pot..add water a little at a time..mix with your hands until it becomes a smooth ball of dough…add water and flour and a touch of oil until you get there.

when the dough is ready..sprinkle some flour on your countertop, place the dough on it and roll it out into a large flat surface

Using my ravioli maker, cut one strip long and wide enough to cover the metal tray..cover the metal tray with this.

•take the other white plastic tray that is indented, and press it down on the dough that is draped over the metal tray.

•lift the plastic tray up and set aside

•then fill each indented piece of dough with your filling..use only a spoonful.

•when completed…cut another strip of dough long enough and wide enough to cover the metal tray where you have just added your filling.

•using a rolling pin..press down hard on the metal tray and roll it from top to bottom

you will see the dough is perforated.

•gently press from the bottom of each piece, pyshing upwards and each piece should easily break through from the metal tray.

place the pieces in boiling water…when they float, they are done.

•remove from boiling water, transfer to a pan, lightly coated with olive oil, and bake in oven at 350 for 5 minutes.

•serve
