1 pk Active dry yeast 4 c Flour 1/4 c Warm water 2 tb Butter 1 1/2 ts Salt 3/4 c Chopped onion 2 tb Soft margarine 2 tb Parmesan cheese 1 Egg, slightly beaten 1 ts Poppy seed (opt.) 1 c Scalded milk 1/2 ts Garlic salt Dissolve yeast in water In large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, salt butter, egg, milk and 2 cups flour. Beat with spoon until mixed. Gradually add flour until dough can be handled. Knead 5 minutes or until elastic. Grease bowl, cover dough with plastic, let rise 1 1/4 hour in warm place. Meanwhile,prepare filling. Melt butter in small saucepan. Add onions, and saute until just tender (5 minutes) Combine cheese, poppy seed,and garlic salt,set both mixtures aside. When dough has risen, punch down, and place on floured work surface. Divide in 2. Roll each piece into a square 12"x12". Spoon half of fillings on each piece of dough. Spread, roll up like jelly roll,seal. Place loaves ,seam side down, on French bread pan. Cover and rise 45 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Uncover, bake in preheated 350 F oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Remove from pan at once

Garlic puree(2 roasted head) 1/4 lb Unsalted butter, softened 2 tb (2 pk) dry yeast 1/2 c Warm water (115-120 degrees) 2 1/2 c Warm water 2 tb Kosher salt 3 1/4 c Whole wheat flour 3 1/4 c Unbleached all purpose flour Cornmeal Cream together the garlic puree and butter. (This may be done days in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using). Combine the yeast with 1/2 cup warm water in large bowl. Stir with a fork or small whisk. Add an additional 2 1/2 cups water. Add salt. Stir in the flour, 1 c at a time, beginning with the whole wheat. Use a whisk until the dough becomes stiff, then switch to a wooden spoon. Turn the dough onto a well floured work surface. Knead rhythmically for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth, springy, nonsticky, and elastic. Add more flour as you knead if necessary. The dough is ready if you can poke to fingers into it and the resulting indentations spring back. Cover the dough with a cloth and let rest while you wash, dry and generously butter the bowl. Knead the dough a few more turns, then form it into a ball and place it in the bowl. Turn it to coat with butter. Cover the bowl and put it in a warm, draft-free place until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. It has risen sufficiently when you can gently poke a finger into the dough and the hole reamins. (Don't poke too enthusiastically or the dough will collapse.) When doubled, flour your fist and punch the dough down. Knead it a few times and then let it rest. Sprinkle 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with a liberal amount of cornmeal. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. While you work with 1 piece, keep the other 2 covered. Flour your work surface. With a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a rectangle approximately 14-inches long X 7-inches wide. Spread it with softened garlic butter. Roll the long edge toward the opposite long edge, as if you were rolling up a rug. Pinch ends closed. Place loves on the baking sheets. With a sharp knife or razor blade, slash the loves lightly at 2-inch intervals. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm draft-free place to rise until doubled, about 1/2 hour. Meanwhile preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes with a pan of boiling water on the oven floor. Spray loaves with water several times during the baking process. (This helps the bread form a thick crusty shell.) To test for doneness, rap the loaf with your knuckles. The loaf should sound hollow. Cool on wire racks, but the loaves are delicious eaten warm right out of the oven.

1 lb Ground meat Salt & pepper to taste 1 c Chopped onion 1/2 lb Grated American cheese 3 Jalapeno peppers finely chop 1 c Cornmeal 3 Large eggs 1/2 ts Soda 3 tb Bacon drippings 1 c Sweet milk 1 ts Salt Make batter by mixing together the cornmeal, eggs, soda, drippings, milk, and salt.

2 c Cornmeal Ground cayenne pepper 1 c Plain flour 2 Eggs, beaten 1 ts Baking powder 1 c Buttermilk 1 ts Salt 1 c Green onion, finely chopped 1/2 ts Soda 2 tb Bacon drippings, hot 1/2 c Parsley, finely chopped 1/2 ts Garlic powder (to taste) Deep fat for frying Combine all dry ingredients. Add eggs, buttermilk, onions, and oil or bacon drippings. Mix well. Drop in deep hot fat by spoonfuls and brown on all sides. Now, I said above that this makes 48, I've never counted, so I don't know for sure. But it sure does make a bunch. The main reason why I said 48 is because the program, MenuMaster, won't let you past that field unless you tell it something. Justin Wilson says, "Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!"

3 1/3 c Unbleached flour; sifted 4 ts Pumpkin pie spice 2 ts Baking soda 1 ts Baking powder 1 1/2 ts Salt 2 2/3 c Sugar 2/3 c Cooking oil 4 Eggs; lg 2 c Pumpkin; mashed, canned, 1cn 2/3 c Water 2/3 c Chopped dates Stir the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl and set aside. Beat the sugar and oil together in a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer set on high, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time beating well after each addition, and then beat in the pumpkin. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the water to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition, using a mixer set on low speed. Stir in the dates and pour the batter into 2 greased 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pans. Bake in a preheated 324 degree F. oven for 55 minutes or until a cake tester or wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and continue cooling on the racks.

5 1/2 c Unbleached or bread flour 2 pk Active dry yeast; or 2 ts Active dry yeast; bulk 1 c Milk 3/4 c Water 1/4 c Sugar 1/4 c Vegetable oil 2 ts Salt 1 Egg; lg 1 c Raisins 1 c Sugar 1 ts Cinnamon; ground,or to taste 2 ts Butter or margarine; melted Stir 2 cups of flour and the yeast together in a large mixing bowl. Heat the milk, water, 1/4 cup sugar, oil and salt in a saucepan over very low heat until very warm, (120-130 degrees F.). Ad the liquid mixture to the flour-yeast mixture. Beat, with an electric mixer at medium speed, until smooth, about 3 minutes. Blend in the egg and then stir in the raisins. Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough, (It will be slightly sticky and light in weight). Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface, adding flour if needed as you knead the dough, and knead until smooth and satiny about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with the bowl and let rest for 20 minutes. Combine the 1 cup of sugar and the cinnamon, then set aside. Punch the dough down and divide in half. Roll out one half, on the floured surface, to a 14 X 7-inch rectangle. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Beginning at the narrow end, roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Press the edges to seal and fold the ends under. Place in a greased 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Repeat for the second half. Brush the tops of the loaves with the remaining butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from the pans immediately and cool on wire racks. -----
