NANNIE RUBY'S DAGO BREAD

Steps:

• Mix flour, yeast and salt.
• Dissolve honey in one cup warm water.
• Add two cups warm water and olive oil to honey mixture.
• Add liquid to dry ingredients and mix by hand or KitchenAid mixer using dough hook.
• Knead dough about 5 minutes. Place in bowl with a little olive oil in the bottom. Turn dough to coat with oil. Place in warm, draft free area to rise(about 50 min).
• Take dough out of bowl and knead a second time about 2 min on a floured surface. Place back in bowl, turning dough to coat with oil. Let rise a second time(about 30 min).
• Knead third time - gently about 2 minute
• Divide dough into four parts. Smear butter on work surface. Knead each dough ball with fingertips on buttered surface. Each ball of dough should be rolled up like a jellyroll. I add butter to the work surface as needed.
• Place dough into greased pans. We use PAM to grease the pans.
• Let dough rise again about 30 minutes. I always cover the loaves with a dish cloth while they rise.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minute Lower to 300 degrees and bake 10 minute longer.
• Brush tops of loaves with slightly beaten egg whites.

BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bread pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter over bread and sprinkle raisins over top.
• Whisk milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a medium mixing bowl until well combined. Pour mixture over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until all bread is covered and soaking up the liquid.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.

ITALIAN STUFFED BREAD

Steps:

• Thaw out bread dough.
• Dice a green pepper and onion (I make my pieces very small).
• Roll out dough on a floured surface.
• (your dough should be just wide enough to put your meats on) Stack the dough with a layer of each meat, cheese, and vegetable.
• bring edges of dough together.
• Using a little water will help the dough stick together.
• Be sure you leave no cracks in the dough, or your cheese will run out when cooking.
• Bake at 350 until golden brown (usually about 20-26 minutes depending on your oven and thickness of dough).
• enjoy!
