Croissants
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 pk active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2-1/2 cups bread flour
1 cup butter, cold
Combine milk, first the 1 tablespoon of butter, sugar and salt in a
small pot
and bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove from the heat
and let stand to room temperature. In the meantime, dissolve the
yeast in the water and add it to the milk. Place the liquid in a
mixer and add the flour. Using the dough hook, mix until the dough is
elastic. It will be sticky. Place in a bowl, cover and let rise until
double in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours. Place in refrigerator and chill
for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, soften the remaining cold butter by
pounding with a rolling pin. Roll the dough on a floured board to
form a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Spread the butter over 2/3 of the
rectangle closest to you. Fold the unbuttered third over the center
third. Then fold the bottom 1/3 over the doubled portion. Swing the
dough around a quarter turn, that is, bring east to south. Roll it
again into a 1/4-inch thick oblong. Fold again in thirds. Cover the
dough and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. When the dough is
chilled, remove from the refrigerator and repeat the folding and
turning twice more. Then roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness again.
Cut the dough into 3-inch squares and cut the squares on the bias to
form two triangles. Roll each triangle beginning with the wide side,
then shape the rolls into crescents. Chill for 30 minutes in the
refrigerator before baking. Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for 10
minutes. Reduce heat to 350F and continue to bake another 15 minutes.

Irish Freckle Bread
1 medium-sized russet potato (about 6 ounces), peeled and cut into
chunks
1-1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/3 cup sugar
5 to 5-1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried currants
1 cup grated carrot or parsnip
1/2 cup finely chopped dried pineapple.
Place the potato chunks in a saucepan and add water to cover.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 20
minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid, add water as needed to make 1-3/4 cups
liquid. Mash the potato (no lumps) to yield 1/2-cup and set aside.
Cool both the potato water and the mashed potato to 105 to 115 degrees F.
In a large bowl with a whisk or in the work bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer
fitted with the paddle attachment, sprinkle the yeast over the potato water.
Stir to dissolve. Add the sugar, mashed potato, and 1 cup of the flour. beat
until smooth and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature until
bubbly, about 45 minutes.
Add the salt, eggs, oil, and 1 more cup flour to the batter and beat until
smooth, about 1 minute. Add the raisins, currants, carrot or parsnip, and
pineapple. Add the remaining flour, 1/2-cup at a time, until a soft dough is
formed that just clears the sides of the bowl.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth,
shiny, and soft, about 2 minutes, adding only 1 tablespoon flour at a time as
necessary to prevent sticking. Push back any fruits that may fall out during
kneading. It is important that this dough remain soft and pliable, or it will be
too dry. Place in a greased deep container, turn once to coat the top, and cover
with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1-1/2 to
2 hours.
Turn out the dough onto the work surface and divide into 3 equal portions. Form
each into a fat rectangular loaf. Place each portions into a greased 8 x 4-inch
loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until
doubled in bulk, or about 1 inch above the rim of the pans, 45 minutes to 1
hour. Twenty minutes before baking, preheat the over to 375 degrees F.
Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the loaves are golden brown and
sound hollow when tapped, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove immediately from the pans to
a rack to cool completely before slicing.

Pizza Hut Dough
Each batch makes 1 16-20 inch round pizza, or a 17 by 11 inch rectangle,
or a variety of smaller, free form individual pizzas.
8 cups unbleached bread flour
4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup stone ground cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons baking powder
In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, all purpose flour,
cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder very well. Store in well
sealed plastic bags. Keeps 4 months.
To make pizza dough:
1 cup water
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons fast-rise yeast
3 cups dough mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
If you like your pizza crisp, use the lesser amount of yeast. For a
fluffier, breadier pizza, use the larger amount (and do not roll out too
thin). Depending on the yeast you choose (i.e. brands differ in
performance as do fast or active dry varieties), the fermentation may
vary somewhat.
This dough can be kneaded by hand, in a mixer with a dough hook or in a
bread machine on dough cycle, following manufacturer instructions. For
the mixer, place water in a bowl with yeast. Mix a moment and allow
mixture to sit about five minutes, to allow yeast to expand. Add pizza
mix and oil, then knead, until smooth and elastic on slow speed - about
5-7 minutes. Once dough is made, cover well with oiled plastic (or
refrigerate) and allow to rest one hour. Deflate before proceeding.

ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk together. Allow to
rest for 30 minutes before cooking. When ready to cook stir in the
jalapeno and cheddar cheese. Cook on a lightly-oiled griddle or
