Give the Gift of Food Storage

Today I gave some suggestions on gifts to give yourself or others for Christmas that are food storage related.  Below is the handout I intended to give everyone, but due to a broken copier at the church I have posted it here for you.

Give the Gift of Food Storage

Recipes from the Wheat Class

We held the Bread Making class today with Shanelle Rasmussen.  Thank you Shanelle!!!

She showed us how to make a basic 100% whole wheat recipe that can be used for bread, pizza crust or cinnamon rolls.  Below is her basic recipe and a link to the booklet of recipes we handed out. 

Wheat Recipe Packet

 

Shanelle’s Super-Terrific All-Wheat Bread Recipe

4 C warm water
1 TB salt
1/3 Cup oil
1/3 Cup honey
1 1/2 TB Dough Enhancer
1 1/2 TB Saf Yeast
7 Cups wheat kernels
3 4x8 pans

Freshly grind wheat into flour (medium setting).  Add water and several cups of freshly ground whole wheat flour to mixing bowl.  Mix using a few times quickly.  Add the salt, honey, oil, dough enhancer and instant yeast and jog briefly.  (If you are worried about your wheat try adding 3-4 TB gluten also).  While mixer is slowly kneading at the lowest speed, slowly ad whole wheat flour until dough pulls away from the side of the mixing bowl.  This will normally take all the flour you ground.  But it is better to add to little than too much flour.  Allow the mixer to knead the dough until the gluten is properly developed.  this takes about 10-12 min.  Turn oven on to pre-heat to 150.  Shape into loaves and place in greased pans.   Turn oven off.  Put loaves in warm oven to rise until double in size. (This takes about 25 minutes).  When loaves are double in size set oven to 350 and turn it on (leave loaves in the oven).  Bake for 30-35 minutes.

To use as pizza crust just use it immediately without rising.

Shanelle’s Wheat Cinnamon Rolls

1  batch of Shanelle’s Super-Terrific All-Wheat Bread Recipe

 ½ c Brown sugar (more or less to taste)

1 T. Cinnamon ( more or less to taste)

1 grated apple, extra juice squeezed out in a paper towel

Cut dough into two equal parts.  Working with half batch at a time, roll out to about ½ thick in a rectangular shape.  Spread sugar and cinnamon evenly over dough and then spread grated apple on top.  Roll dough inward from longest side.  Once in a log shape slice into equal pieces (approximately 12).  Repeat with the other half of the batch.  Place on a greased baking sheet and cook for 18-24 minutes at 350 degrees. 

Sprouts

Sprouts are a good way to get in vegetable storage. It takes up very little space and all you need is water and a sprouter to increase your nutrient level in seeds almost 10 fold.  Sprouters are available at health food stores, Bosch kitchen Center, and The Good Earth.  Seeds are also available where you get sprouter.   

You can purchase a years supply of sproutable seeds from the Sprout Lady, Marjory Howes, in Fruit Heights by contacting her at 801.927.2225.  It is wonderful because a full year's supply fits in one 5 gallon bucket and last 20 plus years.
