Pizza “Chicago-style deep-dish”

Source: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/chicago-style-deep-dish-pizza-recipe

Note : Je fais une demie recette de pâte pour la même quantité de garniture.

Je n’ajoute pas de sel à la garniture car la saucisse et le fromage sont salés.

Prévoir 2h30 au total.

Ingredients

Crust

Filling

  • 3/4 lb. mozzarella cheese, sliced (cheddar ou autre fromage)
  • 1 pound Italian sweet or hot sausage, cooked and sliced; or about 3 cups of the sautéed vegetables of your choice
  • 28-ounce can plum tomatoes, lightly crushed; or 28-ounce can diced or chopped tomatoes
  • 2 to 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced, optional
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, optional
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Pizza Seasoning or mixed dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary), to taste
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, to drizzle on top

Directions

  1. To make the crust: Mix the dough ingredients, and knead — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a smooth crust. This will take about 7 minutes at medium-low speed in a stand mixer.
  2. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl or 8-cup measure (which makes it easy to track its rise), cover, and let rise till very puffy, about 60 minutes.
  3. While the dough is rising, ready your 14″ deep-dish pizza pan. Grease it with non-stick vegetable oil spray, then pour in 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, tilting it to cover the bottom of the pan, and partway up the sides.
  4. Stretch the dough to make as large a circle as you can. You can do this on a lightly oiled baking mat, if you choose; or simply stretch the dough in your hands.
  5. Lay the dough in the pan, and stretch it towards the edges till it starts to shrink back. Cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Start preheating the oven to 425°F while the dough rests.
  6. Stretch the dough to cover the bottom of the pan, then gently push it up the sides of the pan. The olive oil may ooze over the edge of the crust; that’s OK. Let the crust rest for 15 minutes or so, as your oven comes up to 425°F.
  7. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, until it’s set and barely beginning to brown. While it’s baking, prepare the filling.
  8. Drain the tomatoes thoroughly. Combine them with the Pizza Seasoning or herbs, and the garlic and sugar (if you’re using them). Add salt to taste; you probably won’t need any additional salt if you’ve used the Pizza Seasoning.
  9. Cover the bottom of the crust with the sliced mozzarella, fanning it into the crust. Add the sausage (or sautéed vegetables), then the tomato mixture.
  10. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan, and drizzle with the olive oil.
  11. Bake the pizza for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Remove it from the oven, and carefully lift it out of the pan onto a rack. A giant spatula is a help here. Allow the pizza to cool for about 15 minutes (or longer, for less oozing) before cutting and serving.

Pain à l’avoine et érable

Source : http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/vermont-whole-wheat-oatmeal-honey-bread-recipe

Note : La recette originale donne 2 pains, faire la moitié de la recette pour un seul pain.Pour faire la farine d’avoine, on passe de l’avoine en flocons dans le mélangeur.

Ingredients

Directions

1) In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, oats, maple or brown sugar, honey, butter, salt, and cinnamon. Let cool to lukewarm, about 10 to 15 minutes.

2) Add the yeast and flours, stirring to form a rough dough. Knead (about 10 minutes by hand, 5 to 7 minutes by machine) until the dough is smooth and satiny.

3) Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour. Since the dough is warm to begin with (from the boiling water), it should become quite puffy.

4) Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a loaf. Place the loaves in two greased 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ bread pans.

5) Cover the pans with lightly greased plastic wrap and allow the loaves to rise until they’ve crowned about 1″ over the rim of the pan, about 60 to 90 minutes.

6) Bake the loaves in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, tenting them lightly with aluminum foil after 25 minutes, to prevent over-browning. Remove them from the oven when they’re golden brown, and the interior registers 190°F on a digital thermometer.

7) Turn the loaves out onto a rack to cool. Store at room temperature, well-wrapped, for several days; freeze for longer storage.

 

Pain blanc 101

Source : Livre The all-purpose baking cookbook, The King Arthur Flour

Note : J’ajoute 1/4 de tasse de graines de lin moulues. Parfois, je ne mets pas de farine de patate.

Ingredients

  • 3  2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour + 1 cup farine 6 grains
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
  • 1/4 cup potato flour, ou 1/3 cup potato flakes
  • 1 1/8 cups lukewarm water

Directions

  1. Combine all the ingredients and mix and knead them together – by hand, mixer, or bread machine – until you’ve made a soft, smooth dough.  Adjust the dough’s consistency with additionnal flour or water as needed; but remember, the more flour you add while you’re kneading, the heavier and drier your final loaf will be.
  2. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour, until it’s puffy (though not necessarily doubled in bulk).
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface and shape in into an 8-inch log.
  4. Transfer the log to a lightly greased 8 1/2 X 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, cover the pan (a proof cover works well here), and let the bread rise until the outer edge has risen about 1 inch over the rim of the pan, about 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  6. Uncover the pan and bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes, tenting in lightly with aluminum foil for the final 10 to 15 minutes if it appears to be browning too quickly.
  7. Remove the bread from the oven, take it out of the pan, and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. After 15 minutes, brush it with butter, if desired; this will give it a soft crust.

Fudgy Brownies

Source : Livre The essentiel cookie cookbook, The King Arthur Company

Ingredients :

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions :

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9 X 13-inch pan.
  3. In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, or in a medium saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine.  Return the mixture to the heat (or microwave) briefly, just until it’s hot (110 F to 120 F), but not bubbling; it will become shiny looking as you stir it.  Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on  your brownies.
  4. Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla.
  5. Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth, then add the flour and nuts and chips, again stirring until smooth.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake the brownies for 29 to 32 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a tiny amount of crumb clinging to it.  The edges of the brownies should be set, but the center still soft.
  8. Remove the brownies from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
