Footnotes

  • Editor's Note
  • The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the brine ingredients. The actual amount of the brine consumed will vary.
  • Cook's Note
  • Try not to soak corn longer than 8 hours. It becomes soft and very salty. I also love to use fresh ground sea salt, very tasty!

Marble Rye

Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, 1999, posted in Homemade.com (Source)

http://www.cupofsugarpinchofsalt.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/MarbleRye-small.jpg
Total Time: 3 hr 15 min
Prep 1 hr 40 min
Cook 1 hr 35 min
Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

For the Rye Dough:

  • 1 envelope (1/4-ounce) dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110 degrees F.)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 2 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

For the Pumpernickel:

  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 6 tablespoons dark molasses
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate, melted
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 1/2 cup cooked mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups rye flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal

  • Flour for dusting
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Directions

For the rye dough: Combine the yeast, sugar, melted butter, egg and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Add the salt, rye flour and all-purpose flour. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then, beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl and climbs up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Set aside.

For the pumpernickel dough: Combine the yeast, water, melted butter, sugar, molasses and chocolate in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Add the caraway seeds, potatoes, rye flour, wheat flour and cornmeal. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then, beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl, and climbs up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove both of the doughs from their bowls and invert them onto two separate lightly floured surfaces. Pat each dough into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Place the pumpernickel rectangle on top of the rye dough rectangle. Roll up the dough, beginning with the long side and stopping after each full turn to press the edge of the roll firmly into the flat sheet of dough to seal. Press with your fingertips. Tuck and roll so that any seams disappear into the dough and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. With a pastry brush, brush the beaten egg evenly over the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Bake until lightly brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

    Three Tips You Must Know When Baking With Spelt



    1. Baking with spelt is similar to baking with other flours, however, due to spelt's solubility, bakers often notice that a little less water is required. When using your favorite recipes, it is suggested that you use 3/4 of the liquid that you normally would use. More liquid can then be added until the look and feel of the batter is satisfactory.

    **Be sure you make note of what you do so you can repeat your successes**

    2. Spelt has fragile gluten meaning that the initial mix time (when water is first added to the flour) should be no more than 4 minutes - although 3 1/2 minutes is ideal.

    3. Mix the flour/liquid enough to get the dough to become homogenous (smooth). Once mixed, you can treat the dough as though it were made with regular wheat.

    Recipe for Spelt and Roasted Squash Salad

    By , About.com Guide (Source)

    http://0.tqn.com/d/cookingequipment/1/I/x/2/-/-/speltsalad.jpg
    With golden chunks of squash, ruby-colored dried cranberries, and a drizzle of maple-cider vinaigrette, this spelt recipe has all the colors and flavors of autumn. Spelt has a pleasantly chewy texture and a mild, nutty flavor. And it's good for you: it's high in fiber and nutrients, and can be eaten by those with a wheat intolerance. This recipe for spelt salad is a filling lunch option, nice for a fall picnic, and is even dressy enough for Thanksgiving dinner.

    Prep Time: 20 minutes

    Cook Time: 1 hour

    Total Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups dried spelt
    • Kosher salt and black pepper
    • 3 pounds winter squash, any variety (such as kabocha or butternut), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    • 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
    • 1 shallot, minced
    • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
    • 1/2 cup roasted, salted pumpkin seeds (or toasted pine nuts)
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat oven to 375˚F. In a medium saucepot, combine spelt, a pinch of salt and about 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until spelt is tender but still a little chewy. Drain in a colander, set aside.

    2. Meanwhile, place cubed squash on a sheet pan (you can cover the pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup). Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using your hands or a spatula, toss squash to evenly coat it with olive oil. Place in oven and cook for about 50 minutes. Remove squash from heat, sprinkle with minced shallot and use a spatula to toss the squash with the shallot and to turn squash pieces over. Return to oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes, until squash is soft and starting to brown. Do not allow squash to get crispy. Remove from oven, allow to cool on pan about 10 minutes.

    3. In a small bowl, combine cider vinegar, maple syrup and Dijon mustard, stir with a whisk. Whisking constantly, drizzle in remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.

    4. In a large bowl, combine cooked spelt, roasted squash, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds and thyme, stir to combine. Drizzle with cider vinaigrette and stir to combine completely. Season to taste with salt and pepper

    5. Serve slightly warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

    This Spelt and Roasted Squash Salad serves 6 to 8 people as a side dish.

    Spelt Noodles

    By: GYPSY-WITCH, posted in Allrecipes.com (Source)



    Serving 2

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup white spelt flour
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 3 tablespoons water as needed

    Directions

    1. (Preferred) Process all ingredients in a food processor until they form a ball that rides on the blades.
    2. You can also let a bread machine knead the ingredients for about 5 minutes. (I've never tried this, but have heard it works well.)
    3. Pasta can be rolled and cut in a regular (manual, hand-crank) pasta maker by passing it through repeatedly smaller (i.e., higher number) settings until nearly paper thin, and then run through the cutting blades. I am told it does not do so well in an automatic pasta maker.

    2. In another bowl, mix together white flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Pour the dry ingredients into the egg-mixture. Stir until the two mixtures are just incorporated.
    3. Heat a griddle or large frying pan to medium-hot, and place 1 tablespoon of butter, margarine or oil into it. Let the butter melt before spooning the batter into the frying pan, form 4 inch pancakes out of the batter. Once bubbles form on the top of the pancakes, flip them over, and cook them on the other side for about 3 minutes. Continue with this process until all of the batter has been made into pancakes.

    Lazy Buckwheat Casserole

    By Cindy Paulsen, posted in Canadian living (Source)

    A spinoff of traditional Ukrainian cabbage rolls (buckwheat rolled in cabbage leaves), this shortcut recipe still has its original flavour. "I believe this dish should be part of Canadian Living's birthday celebration, as it is one of the many cultural dishes that make up the mosaic of our Canadian kitchens," says Cindy. Look for buckwheat in supermarkets or delicatessens.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup (250 mL) kasha, (roasted buckwheat)
    • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
    • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
    • 1/4 cup (60 mL) butter
    • 1 large onion, chopped
    • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried thyme
    • 1 cup (250 mL) sauerkraut, drained
    • 1/4 cup (60 mL) chicken stock
    • 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream

    Preparation

    In saucepan, bring buckwheat, 2 cups (500 mL) water, salt and pepper to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until water is absorbed. Set aside.

    Meanwhile, in skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat; cook onion and thyme, covered and stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until onion is softened. Mix into buckwheat.

    Place half of the sauerkraut in bottom of 6-cup (1.5 L) casserole; spoon buckwheat mixture over top. Cover with remaining sauerkraut. Drizzle with chicken stock. Bake in 300°F (150°C) oven for about 30 minutes or until heated through, Serve with sour cream.
