Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Dough Ingredients:

1 Cup Milk

4 Tablespoons BD Brown Sugar

2 ¼ teaspoon BD dry yeast

6 Tablespoons BD olive oil

2 eggs

3 ½ cups BD All Purpose Flour, plus more for dusting

1 tsp BD salt

½ Cup BD raisins

Cinnamon Filling Ingredients:

1/3 cup BD Brown sugar

2 Tablespoons BD Ground Cinnamon

3 Tablespoons Melted Butter

Directions:

Combine milk, brown sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer.  Let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy. After 10 minutes, add oil and eggs. Whisk to combine wet ingredients, then add flour and salt.  Use the dough hook or a spatula to roughly combine the wet and dry ingredients into a shaggy dough.  Add the raisins, then fit the bowl and dough hook to the stand mixer.  Knead on medium low speed for 10 minutes.

Remove the dough hook, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

Flour your countertop as lightly as possible, then spread and stretch the dough into a rectangle that is the length of your loaf pan.  The dough will be sticky but resist the urge to add more flour, it will make the bread more dense.

Make the cinnamon filling by stirring together brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Spread the mixture all over the top of the dough rectangle, then roll the dough up as tightly as you can, rolling the long way.  Place the roll seam side down into a greased loaf pan, then cover with plastic wrap to let rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven 350 degrees F, bake bread for 40 to 50 minutes until the inside reads 190 to 200 degrees F. Let cool completely before slicing.

Walnut, Cranberry & Chili Brioche with Brie Appetizer

Ingredients:

5 large eggs

½ cup warm milk

4 Cups BD All purpose Flour

2 ½ tsp BD yeast

1 ½ tsp BD granulated sugar

2 Tablespoons BD Local Honey

1 ½ tsp BD salt

2 tsp BD chili flakes

1 ½ cups BD Dried Cranberries, chopped

1 ¼ cups BD Walnuts, chopped

9 oz. softened butter, cubed

8 oz. Brie wheel

Once baked, ingredients you will need:

1 egg, beaten

1 pinch of BD Himalayan sea salt

2 Tablespoons BD Local Honey

Instructions:

Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in the bowl of a mixer.  Add chili flakes, cranberries, walnuts and mix thoroughly.

Whisk eggs, milk and honey to incorporate in a separate bowl.  Once mixed, make a well in the center of the flour mixture.  Mix to bring this combination roughly together.  Using a dough hook attachment for our mixer, slowly add the butter a bit at a time until it is all in the batter.  Knead the dough on a fast setting for 10 minutes.  Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight (18 Hours of proofing time).

Next day, line a large baking tray with some parchment paper.  Remove Brie from wrapping and then place back into the cardboard/wooden ring.  Place the brie’s round cardboard/wooden ring in the center of the baking sheet and place the brie itself in the refrigerator. Be sure to remove all labels from cardboard/wooden ring.  Leave the top off the brie.

Place the dough on a floured surface and knock the air out of it.  Roll out into a sausage shape and divide into 5 equal parts.  Divide each fifth into another 5 pieces, making a total of 25 dough pieces.  Roll each piece of dough into a circle using your palms.  Arrange these dough balls around the brie wheel. Continue circling around, behind the current dough balls you’ve placed, leaving a bit of a gap for expansion between the balls.  Continue until all 25 dough balls are in a circle around the brie wheel.  Cover and let sit in a warm place until they double in size.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Take the brie out of its wrapper and replace it with the cardboard brie wheel. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt.

Bake for 20-23 minutes.

Cut the white top of the brie casing off and drizzle the honey on the top of the brie and over some of the bread if desired.  Enjoy the oozing brie by breaking off a bread piece and dipping it into the brie.

Apple and Honey Challah from Chef Lauren Braun Costello

Recipe from Chef Lauren Braun Costello (@itslaurenofcourse on Instagram & Facebook)

Apple & Honey Challah

Apples and honey are a staple food observance for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. This challah recipe features those flavors without any of the fuss, thanks to two special ingredients from BD Provisions: Green Apple Chips and Honey. The apple chips provide all the apple flavor without turning the dough wet. In fact, it is the dough that imparts moisture to the dried apples, reconstituting them while maintaining the bread's structure and desired texture. Adding honey to the second egg wash gives that glisten and sheen. Incidentally, this challah makes the best French toast or bread pudding the next day!

Equipment: measuring spoons, wet and dry measuring cups, two large mixing bowls, dough hook, standing mixer with dough hook attachment (optional), bench scraper, plastic wrap, baking sheet, parchment paper or nonstick baking mat, cooling rack

Ingredients
1 cup warm water (at least 95°F - 110°F)
1 package BD yeast (or 2¼ teaspoons)
1 teaspoon BD granulated sugar
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar (or ½ cup for sweeter bread)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
4 – 4½ cups BD all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon cold water
1 tablespoon BD Honey
1 cup BD Green Apple Chips

Directions
1. In a small bowl or measuring cup, sprinkle yeast and sugar on warm water. Stir. Let stand for up to 10 minutes (it should look like the foam on beer).

2. In a large bowl, combine oil, sugar, salt, eggs, and then the yeast mixture. Stir in 2 cups of flour.

3. Gradually stir in most of the remaining flour.* Dough will be sticky.

4. Place dough on lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes (or use a standing mixer with the dough hook on a low speed), adding a little flour at a time as needed. If dough sticks to the counter, use a bench scraper to clean the surface and lightly flour the board to prevent further sticking. When done kneading, the dough will feel silky and smooth.

5. Put dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1½ hours in a warm, draft-free environment until approximately doubled (the bowl placed inside your oven with the light on is a good spot).

6. Punch down the dough with your floured fist. Divide the piece into 3 equal sections.

7. Flatten each piece of dough and spread with approximately 1/3 cup apple chips. Carefully roll each section into equal strands, about 12 inches long, tapering the ends as you roll.

8. Pinch the strands together at one end and braid, maintaining the same tension as you go so that the challah will be symmetrical. Pinch the other end as well when done.

9. Place dough on parchment paper or nonstick baking mat. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel as it goes through the final rise for 30 minutes to no more than 1 hour.

10. Right before baking, brush the bread with beaten egg wash (egg and water). Place the bread in the oven and bake for 17 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon honey to the egg wash and set aside.

11. After 17 minutes of baking, remove the pan from the oven (shut the oven door so the heat does not escape). Brush with additional honey egg wash, and rotate the pan when returning it to the oven. Bake for another 17 minutes.

12. Allow the bread to rest and cool for one hour before serving.
You can make the dough the night before, and place in the refrigerator to rise. Remove it 30 minutes before shaping. Then proceed as written above.

Yield: 1 loaf

Amount of flour used will vary, depending upon the moisture in the air.

Maple, Cinnamon and Date Oatmeal Scone

Maple Cinnamon and Date Oatmeal Scone

Recipe from Vivian Lee (Instagram @VivaYoungHealth))

Ingredients:

Dry

2⁄3 cup BD provisions whole wheat flour

1⁄3 oat flour – Made from BD Provisions oats*

3⁄4 cup BD Provisions rolled oats

1⁄2 tsp baking powder

1⁄2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp BD Provisions ground cinnamon

Wet

3⁄4 cup plant milk (I used unsweetened soy milk.)

1 T ground BD Provisions flax** + 3 Tbsp water (This is equivalent to

one “egg”.)

1 T BD Provisions maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins:

1⁄2 cup BD Provisions dates, thinly chopped

(Optional) 1⁄4 cup BD Provisions non-dairy chocolate chips

Notes:

* You can easily create oat flour at home by blending rolled oats in a blender, food

processor, or coffee grinder.

** Ground flax seeds are a great substitute for conventional eggs. The ratio of ground

flax to water is 1:3. One tablespoon of ground flax to three tablespoons of water

substitutes for one egg.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. First, create the flax egg by combining the ground flax and water in a

small bowl. Stir and set aside to let it congeal.

3. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium or large mixing bowl and

mix evenly with a wooden spoon.

  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients and whisk

evenly.

5. Fold in the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix. Notice

whether the mixture is too wet or dry. If wet, add 1⁄4 cup oats at a time.

If too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water or non-dairy milk at a time.

6. Using slightly wet hands, roll mixture into six balls setting them on the

baking sheet.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Check that the surface is evenly browned.

8. Allow to cool for a few minutes.

9. Serve with an optional glaze of maple syrup.

Notes:

* You can also bake these in an oven toaster.
