True Garlic Bread
1 each Garlic Puree(2 Roasted Head)
1/4 lb Unsalted Butter, Softened
2 tbsp (2 pk) Dry yeast
1/2 cup Warm Water (115-120 degrees)
2 1/2 cup Warm Water
2 tbsp Kosher Salt
3 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
3 1/4 cup Unbleached All Purpose Flour
1 each Cornmeal
Cream together the garlic puree and butter. (This may be done days in
advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using).
Combine the yeast with 1/2 cup warm water in large bowl. Stir with a
fork or small whisk. Add an additional 2 1/2 cups water. Add salt.
Stir in the flour, 1 c at a time, beginning with the whole wheat. Use
a whisk until the dough becomes stiff, then switch to a wooden spoon.
Turn the dough onto a well floured work surface. Knead rhythmically
for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth, springy, nonsticky,
and elastic. Add more flour as you knead if necessary. The dough is
ready if you can poke to fingers into it and the resulting
indentations spring back. Cover the dough with a cloth and let rest
while you wash, dry and generously butter the bowl. Knead the dough a
few more turns, then form it into a ball and place it in the bowl.
Turn it to coat with butter. Cover the bowl and put it in a warm,
draft-free place until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2
hours. It has risen sufficiently when you can gently poke a finger
into the dough and the hole reamins. (Don't poke too
enthusiastically or the dough will collapse.) When doubled, flour
your fist and punch the dough down. Knead it a few times and then let
it rest. Sprinkle 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with a liberal
amount of cornmeal. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. While you
work with 1 piece, keep the other 2 covered. Flour your work surface.
With a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a rectangle
approximately 14-inches long X 7-inches wide. Spread it with softened
garlic butter. Roll the long edge toward the opposite long edge, as
if you were rolling up a rug. Pinch ends closed. Place loves on the
baking sheets. With a sharp knife or razor blade, slash the loves
lightly at 2-inch intervals. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm
draft-free place to rise until doubled, about 1/2 hour. Meanwhile
preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes with a pan
of boiling water on the oven floor. Spray loaves with water several
times during the baking process. (This helps the bread form a thick
crusty shell.) To test for doneness, rap the loaf with your knuckles.
The loaf should sound hollow. Cool on wire racks, but the loaves are
delicious eaten warm right out of the oven. |

A few tips on healthy eating
If you really want to become slim and develop your all round shape, then you need to eat a thoughtfully prepared healthy meal plan. Theoretically, this must contain 5 standard portions of grains and vegetables every day and require the right mixture of fats, carbs and proteins.
When devising a dietary regime, it is essential to also make efforts to reduce intake of salt, fats and refined carbohydrate.
When starting a weight loss program, people ordinarily look at department store and brand name food products described as 'low-fat'. To do this is often incorrect, insofar as a food product can be very low in fat, but nevertheless contain far too much calories and carbs.
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Occasionally when going through a normal work day, you feel that you want food when in truth you just want a healthy cup of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of hunger and needing a drink are nearly the same, but one of them leads to weight increase and the alternative is fine.
Instead of paying too much attention to the types of food you need to eliminate from your dietary regime, concentrate on the sensible foods which you might want to bring into your dietary regime. If one can inject the recommended amount wholesome fruit & vegetables into your meal plan, you will discover that you feel full and have a substantially reduced probability of falling prey to those unwholesome mid-day chocolates.
