If you ever traveled into areas where Amish people have bakeries you will find fry pies! These hand held delicacies are made with a flaky pie crust filled with various fillings. Traditionally, these are fried like a doughnut but they can be baked, also.
Pizza rolls are a savory twist to what we think of traditional cinnamon roll! These savory pizza rolls are full of flavor with garlic, cheese, and pepperoni. Just a warning…be sure you get a bite or they might just disappear when you turn your back if you have children in your house!
Stromboli! Ever wish you could have a cheesy stromboli again like you can buy at the pizza shop? You can! and you can stuff it with your choice of ingredients. My family loves when I make stromboli with pepperoni, ham and lots of cheese or cheeseburger ingredients, and I love a chicken and broccoli stromboli.
Banana bread has been an old-time favorite quick bread. Add some grated pears and it gives it an even better flavor and texture. Serve this bread with some freshly made butter and you have a winner!!
If you have ever been a tourist and traveled through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania? There is one kind of pie you will find at every roadside stand. A Shoofly Pie! My favorite version is what is called a wet-bottom pie. This pie features a cake like upper layer with a gooey, custard-style bottom layer baked in a flaky pie crust. So yummy!
Our family loves to try different types of ethnic dishes. This meal of Moroccan Chicken and Rice has become a favorite. The turmeric gives the chicken and rice a golden color and a wonderful flavor. An Instapot is a winner with this recipe as it contains any splatters of turmeric. I love it!
Who doesn’t like a flaky, tender pie crust? With the addition of sourdough starter you get the benefits of healthier carbs combined with the flaky tender crust you are looking for. This recipe is also a way to use up that extra starter that you have been keeping in your fridge.
Do your children ever beg for Hot Pockets and Pig-in-the-Blankets? Did you know that you can easily make them using sourdough? My children love when this is on the menu. I usually allow them to help shape the dough around the array of items we like to use. Try it — you may be surprised how easy it really is.
Christmas Holiday is a time for giving gifts just like God gave the greatest gift to us, Jesus! Our family loves to give gifts to our neighbors like this fruit filled wreath. My regular recipe was filled with so much sugar so I decided to try a sugar-free one. I used my favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls recipe with a few modifications. Polaner All Fruit Spread was an easy fruit filling to use. This recipe makes 2 wreaths–1 to share and 1 to serve to your guests!
