Sourdough Perogies THM-XO

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

One of the many traditional German side dishes popular in Lancaster County is homemade egg noodles. I learned the art of noodle making from my Old Order Mennonite grandmother and aunts as they made dishpans of noodles for their large families. The Atlas Noodle Maker I have was a gift from my late mother-in-law. These Perogies are made with sourdough pasta that has been fermented for more than 24 hours. With this recipe you can also make noodles and even Ravioli. Perogies and ravioli are a bit time consuming but we do enjoy them for special occasions.

Sourdough Doughnuts THM-XO

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

Fasnacht Day is tomorrow and widely celebrated in Lancaster County. The tradition of eating fastnachts on Fat Tuesday started with the Pennsylvania Dutch as they were looking for recipes to use up lard before Lent. Fastnacht is a German word which means “night before the fast. I have always saved the lard we make when we butcher hogs in the winter to fry doughnuts. These sourdough doughnuts are very tasty and our family loves them.

Candied Apple Pie THM-XO

/ glenda1969 / 2 Comments

A warm double-crust apple pie – bring back memories of my grandma and helping her make pie crust. This old timed favorite has been revised to a to a healthier option. I love to warm a slice and add a tablespoon of cream for a delicious THM crossover treat.

Candied Apple Pie

Pie Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups THM Baking Blend
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup lard
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon oat fiber
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3-4 tablespoons cold water

Apple Filling:

Candied topping:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixer bowl combine baking blend, flour, lard, butter, salt, baking powder, and oat fiber. Mix until crumbly. Beat egg and water together. Add to mixer bowl and mix lightly. Divide into two dough balls, one slightly bigger than the other. Roll the large ball between two piece of plastic wrap. Remove top piece of plastic wrap and carefully flip dough into a deep dish pie plate. Combine apple filling ingredients together in a bowl. Mix well. Mound apple filling into pie crust. Roll remaining dough ball between to pieces of plastic wrap. remove top piece of wrap and flip dough over top of the apples. Carefully press crust edges together and trim. Flute.  Place pie in oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cover the pie with foil after it has baked for 20 minutes. Five minutes before the pie is finished, melt butter in a sauce pan.  Add cream, Brown Sugar Substitute, and extracts. Boil for 3 minutes. Add nuts. Remove pie from the oven and spoon caramel sauce over the top crust, spreading to cover the entire crust. Cool. Serve 8-10.

**The pie crust has a tendency to be fragile. I make sure the bottom crust has all the seams sealed. If the top crust has a few holes as pictured below that is okay.

Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings THM-XO

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings have been a family favorite for years. These are seasonal item you will find in many Amish/Mennonite bakeries and roadside stands in the fall.  They can be eaten warm with a bit of cream which is my favorite or with ice cream like some of my family prefer.  This recipe is a healthier version of an old traditional comfort food made by our grandmothers.

Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings THM-XO

  • 6 apples, cored and peeled, I used Granny Smith Apples

Pastry:

Sauce:

Pastry: In a mixer bowl combine flours, baking powder, and salt together. Cut in shortening until pea size. Add cream and almond milk. Mix lightly until just moistened and combined. Divide dough in half. Roll each half in a rectangle shape. Cut in 3 pieces. Press one dough piece around each apple. Place apples in individual 6 baking dishes or in a 9 x 13 baking pan (6 dumplings in the pan). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sauce:  Combine water, butter, cinnamon, vanilla,  sweetener, and molasses in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and whisk in glucomannan. Remove from heat. Pour half of the sauce over the apples. Place pan of dumplings in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, pour remaining sauce over apples. Cover with foil. Bake for an additional 25 minutes. Remove from oven.  Spoon some of the sauce in pan over the dumplings. Cool. 6 servings.

*THM Gentle Sweet can be used instead of the Brown Sugar Sweetener. Use the same amount AND add a drop or two of Natural Burst Maple Flavoring.

Pumpkin Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls THM-crossover

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

Cool, crisp mornings warn us that fall is rapidly approaching. Pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, and  corn-shocks can be found at little roadside stands on our quiet country back roads. Neck Pumpkins are a favorite of mine for baking with their orange meaty flesh. Pureed pumpkin add a delightful twist to these cinnamon rolls and Brown Butter Frosting takes it over the top.

Pumpkin Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  THM – XO

Cinnamon roll dough:

Cinnamon mixture:

  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup erythritol
  • 5 tiny spoons THM Stevia
  • 2 drops Maple flavoring
  • ½ teaspoon Blackstrap Molasses
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Brown Butter Frosting:

In mixer bowl combine almond milk, starter, pumpkin, egg, and honey.  Add 2 cups flour and dough enhancer. Mix for 2 minutes. Add remaining flour in 1/4 cups increments until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Mix well. Let rest 20 minutes. Add salt and knead 8-9 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a lid. Let rise 4 hours and then refrigerate 3 days***. Sprinkle baking soda over dough and knead in. Dust a surface with sprouted wheat flour and press cold dough into a large rectangle with floured hands. Brush with butter and sprinkle very generously with cinnamon mixture. Roll into a long jelly roll. Cut the cinnamon rolls using a piece of heavy sewing thread—slide the thread under the roll and pull the ends across each other. Place on baking pans, cover, and allow to rise until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 16-18 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool completely. In mixer bowl combine butter and cream cheese. Whip until smooth and well combined. Add sweetener, Stevia drops, and cream. Whip until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Frost cinnamon rolls.  20 rolls.

*Do not allow the cinnamon dough to come to room temperature when rolling them out. I have melted butter and the cinnamon mixture ready before I remove the dough from the fridge. Cold dough works the best as you need very little flour when rolling them out.

**Slightly more flour may be needed if your starter is thinner.

***This recipe is styled after Gwen’s Nest Bread which use 1/3 white flour and allows it to ferment for 3 days in the fridge.

Sweet juicy peaches star in this fluffy cheesecake.  Even better yet, it is  no-bake dessert so you don’t have to heat your kitchen up to bake on warm summer days. The walnuts in the crust add a delightful crunch and pair with the smoothness of the filling. There are so many peaches varieties to pick from but my favorites for fresh eating are Red Haven, Sun High, and Contender. This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use. If you purchase items through these links, I receive a small commission but your price doesn’t change.

Sourdough Biscuits THM–Crossover

/ glenda1969 / 1 Comment

Delicious soft Sourdough Biscuits add that special touch to a meal. These are a THM crossover because they contain both carbs (wheat flour) and fats (butter). I brushed these biscuits with melted garlic butter to mimic Red Lobster Biscuits. This biscuit dough  can be mixed several days in advance and kept in the fridge. In fact, I prefer working with cold dough as it handles much better.

Sourdough Biscuits

  • 2 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour, I used Arrowhead Mills Pastry Flour***
  • 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2/3 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Combine whole wheat flour and butter in a mixer bowl. Mix until crumbly. Add milk and sourdough starter. Mix well. Place in a bowl, cover tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator. *Sprinkle baking powder, salt, and baking soda on biscuit dough. Knead until thoroughly mixed. **Press dough out ½ inch thick, fold in thirds, press out again, repeat from ** twice. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 degree for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Biscuits baked on a stoneware pan are incredible.

*An easy way to sprinkle on the baking powder mixture is to put it in a Pampered Chef Shaker.

**When you fold the dough multiple times you will get flaky layered biscuits.

***I used Arrowhead Mills Pastry flour which is made from soft white spring wheat berries. It has less gluten and makes wonderful biscuits. It is 100% whole grain flour.

For Red Lobster Biscuits: 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese maybe kneaded in the dough along with the baking powder mixture. Melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 2 teaspoons parsley. Brush over biscuits when removed from oven.

Sourdough Cinnamon Roll THM xo

/ glenda1969 / 5 Comments

Do you want a tasty guilt-free cinnamon roll with your morning coffee? Here is a sugar-free sourdough one that I make for special occasions. These are a crossover–meaning they have both carbs and fats in them. They do take planning ahead as they ferment in the fridge for 3 days before baking. I did add yeast to the dough to give the more traditional cinnamon roll taste. The sourdough starter ferments the dough making it “on plan” and the yeast helps with the rise and taste. cinnamon roll 25

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls—3 day ferment

  • 2 cups active sourdough starter
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon dough enhancer
  • 1 cup King Arthur Bread Flour
  • 4 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour–Prairie Gold, Golden 86, etc
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda, optional*
  • 1 tablespoon Instant yeast—this helps them taste like the “normal” ones and assist in the rise when baking
  • sprouted flour for rolling out dough

Cinnamon Mixture

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup THM erythitol
  • 5 tiny spoons THM Stevia
  • 2 drops Loran Maple Flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black-strap Molasses
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Brown Butter Icing—compliments of Margaret Raber/Food For Life Cookbook

  • 1 stick butter, browned and cooled
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup THM Gentle Sweet
  • 2 tiny spoons THM Stevia
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream

Mix starter, water, eggs, butter, and honey together in mixer bowl. Add  dough enhancer, King Arthur flour, and vanilla. Mix well. Add 3 cups flour. Mix. Add remaining flour in 1/4 cup increments mixing until you have a soft dough. You want a slack dough–which is softer and stickier than bread dough. You will not be able to knead this by hand. Let rest 20 minutes. Add salt and yeast. Mix for 6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a lid. Let rise 4 hours and then refrigerate 3 days**. Remove from fridge***. Sprinkle baking soda over dough and knead in. Dust a surface with sprouted wheat flour and press dough into a large rectangle with floured hands. Blend erythitol, stevia, maple flavoring, and molasses together (don’t use xylitiol as it will leave the rolls “wet”). Brush dough with butter and sprinkle very generously with cinnamon mixture. Roll into a long jelly roll. Cut the cinnamon rolls using a piece of heavy sewing thread—slide the thread under the roll and pull the ends across each other.  Place in well greased baking pans, cover and let rise until doubled and very puffy. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 16-18 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool completely. In a mixer bowl combine browned butter, cream cheese, Gentle Sweet, and Stevia. Whip until smooth. Add cream and whip until fluffy. Ice rolls. Store in the refrigerator and these do freeze very well. 24 large rolls.

*I don’t use baking soda as I have a mature starter and it does not taste sour.

**This recipe is styled after www.gwens-nest.com/easy-bread-recipe/ that is the reason there is white flour in it. You are allowed to use up to 1/3 white flour if you allow the dough to ferment 3 or more days.

***It is best to wait until you are ready to make the rolls to remove it from the refrigerator. The dough will be really cold and you will be able to work with it without adding extra flour to roll it out. This recipe contains both carbs and fats which is not weight-loss friendly but is great for growing children, special occasions, and those maintaining. This can also be used to make doughnut and sticky buns.
