My Gourmet Lunch Today!

I'm finding off the top of my head is the most simple creative combinations such as my lunch today!

Check out my special goat with herbs and cheddar grilled cheese sandwich made with my white bread recipe and my coleslaw! And in fact I didn't even realize until I sat down to eat it it was all homemade!

And you can do the same! Just look in your fridge and you can almost combine anything you have!

Too many exclamation marks? It is because as I have said in the past, cooking is a creation it is also an art! Don't be too cautious about mixing most things. Sometimes you may bomb like I have many times. But that's okay because it's all about trial and error. And I find the trials outweigh the errors...outweigh...get it? :D

Feeling a little silly today and I'm going to blame it on this beautiful November sunny warm weather day we're having in my part of the world.

Don't forget that you can find all the homemade recipes on my blog! Have a beautiful day!!!

White Sandwich Bread

This delicious easy recipe is absolutely awesome, but it needs to proof three times! So worth it, so good! This recipes makes two loafs but I make one and six buns. Trust me on this one, try it :)

Total Time: 4 hr 20 min
Prep: 30 min
Inactive: 3 hr 15
Cook: 35 min
Yield: 2 loaves

Ingredients
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted, plus more for buttering the bowl and loaf pans
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the board

Directions
Combine the yeast and 2 cups warm water in a mixing bowl and stir to dissolve. Add the butter, sugar and salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir in one-third of the flour until smooth. Add another third of the flour and stir, then turn it out onto a floured board to knead. Knead it over 15 minutes, adding the rest of the flour as you knead. Don't let it get dry too fast; it should stay sticky. Put the dough in buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 hour.
Knead the dough another 5 minutes, place it back in the bowl and let it rise another hour.
Butter 2 loaf pans. Shape the dough into 2 loaves and transfer them to the prepared pans. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake the loaves until golden brown on top and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.

Foodie Fran's Note: I mix, knead and let rise in the mixing bowl of my KitchenAid mixer. The only time I actually need to touch the dough is when I shape the bread.
