Home made bread recipes best to go with a home made veg soup ?

dose any one know of any good bread recipes to go with a home made carrot and potato and Swede soup?Home made bread recipes best to go with a home made veg soup ?
Try a malted whole grain flour or one with seeds in it. Adding a spoonful of oil to the dough will make it lighter and spoonful of chopped herbs for flavour, eg olive oil and rosemary.





I make my bread by hand so can't help with an actual recipe.Home made bread recipes best to go with a home made veg soup ?
Ohhhh Yum, love it. Personally speaking with that I would use a good crusty bread slice it in about 3/4'; slices drizzle a little olive oil on the bread and toast it both sides under the broiler/grill to golden, then rub a clove of garlic.





From my experience and what I have been told, bread machines do not turn out bread like a bakery. I am sorry, but I would die for a salad bowl full of the soup, I would supply the bread lolol.
Do you have a bread machine?


I have got a lovely recipe for Sunflower Bread which I make in my machine.


Recipe I use





4 tbsp. Sunflower Seeds, I put them in the top Seed Dispenser.





2 cups. Brown bread flour


2 tbsp. Sugar or Honey


1 tbsp. dry milk powder


1 tsp. salt


1 tbsp. olive oil


250 mls. luke warm water


1 1/2 tsp. instant yeast


Flour to bottom of Pan, then add the rest

You can find some great bread recipes for use with a bread machine http://www.squidoo.com/breadrecipes such as sunflower bread, whole wheat bread, sourdough bread, pumpkin bread, and banana bread.

400 grams of flour - I mix wholemeal, white and also malted


4tsp poppy seeds


1tsp mixed herbs - optional

All whole meal breads are good. Just do not go for shop bought white sliced - that is pappy and has no nutritional value.

Can someone tell me their best chocolate recipes for a pudding please?

Chocolate Mousse (traditional French style)


350g (12 oz) good quality dark chocolate *preferably at least 70% cocoa solids.


6 eggs, separated


30 ml (2 tablespoons) of the liqueur of your choice (cointreau, kirsch or baileys work well!





Melt the chocolate in a bain marie (a pan of gently simmering water, with a glass bowl on top - make sure it fits well, as you don't want any steam to get into your chocolate - it makes it go hard and split). Remove from heat, and beat in the yolks and then the liqueur, until it's at a smooth consistency. In another bowl, whip the egg whites, until they're stiff, and gently fold spoonfuls into the chocolate mixture. You can be quite vigourous in mixing in the first couple of spoonfuls, but after that, be careful and very gentle, as too much mixing will knock the air out of the egg whites. Pour into separate bowls, or 1 big serving dish, and refrigerate for 2-5 hours, when it should have set. You can decorate with whipped cream and flaked chocolate if desired, or just serve as is, or with langue de chat biscuits (cookies if you're American). This is absolutely gorgeous, very luxurious, and never goes wrong (as long as you follow the instructions properly!). Happy chocolate-ing!Can someone tell me their best chocolate recipes for a pudding please?
Jello brand and add whipped cream on top when you are finished. Use whole milk. It is very difficult to avoid burning, even just a little when trying to make it from scratch. Very admirable for wanting to try, however.Can someone tell me their best chocolate recipes for a pudding please?
Creamy Chocolate Pudding





This smooth, rich pudding, has many variations. For chocolate almond, chocolate rum, or chocolate mint pudding, simply add either 1/4 tsp almond or rum extract, or 2 drops of peppermint extract along with the vanilla. Yum!





2 tablespoons cornstarch


2 tablespoons cocoa, unsweetened


1/4 cup sugar


2 cups skim milk


1 teaspoon vanilla extract








In a medium saucepan, combine cornstarch, cocoa, and sugar.


Mix well.. Gradually add milk, stirring to dissolve cornstarch and cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Spoon pudding into 4 custard cups. Chill.

I've been a vegetarian for about 4 1/2 years now.


Tofu is a really good thing to eat, esp. the fortified kind cause it has vitamins and protein. It can be cooked all different ways and taste like anything...all depends on how you season it. (covering slices of it in vegetable stock and then frying it is good) also eat beans, and dark, leafy veggies.





i dunno if that helped, but if you have more questions feel free to ask me :)

Vegan Breaded, Fried, Softly Spiced Tofu





1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed


1 1/2 cups vegetable broth or stir fry mix


3 tablespoons vegetable oil


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1 tbsp vegan marinade powder mix


1 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper





Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices; then cut again into 1/2-inch wide sticks.





Place tofu in a pan, and pour broth or stir fry mix that was dissolved in 1 陆 cup water over the top. Simmer for 10 minutes.





In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, pepper and marinade powder mix.





Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.





Let tofu get warm until you can tolerate the heat when you touch it, and squeeze most (but not all) of the liquid from them or just tissue the liquid from it.





Roll sticks in breading. (You may have to roll sticks twice to end up with a fairly dry outer layer of breading.)





Place tofu in hot oil; fry until crisp and browned on all sides. Add more oil if necessary.

What's the best fish recipes for a person who doesn't like seafood?

My husband and I don't like seafood, but for health reasons the doctors are stressing to incorporate it into his diet.


Whats the best way to prepare (without frying) fish. Or should I say which fish tastes the least like fish and how do I prepare it and still get all the omega-3 fatty acids or whatnot?What's the best fish recipes for a person who doesn't like seafood?
My husband loves seafood and I hate it. I will make him fish on occasion (tilapia or shrimp, though I know shrimp is not fish!), but I won't touch any of it.


Instead, I eat a lot of red meat and chicken, and I take a high quality cod liver fish oil from Carlson's. Their oils are mercury-free. So much of the fish available on the market comes from factory farming and is not good for you, or from seas that are high in mercury and other pollutants. People have been warned for years to not eat much canned tuna because of the mercury content.


Krill oil is also a very good source of Omega 3's. So why suffer eating foods you don't like?What's the best fish recipes for a person who doesn't like seafood?
I like boiled and fried shrimp -- fried clams -- fried bass and catfish if it's farm raised .... but not at all crazy about most fish such as tuna steaks, swordfish, tilapia, salmon. I have recently discovered that shark steaks are pretty good, though.





Shark Steaks


3 (8 ounce) shark steaks


1/4 cup soy sauce


1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce


2 tablespoons onion powder


2 tablespoons garlic powder


2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme


2 tablespoons ground black pepper


2 tablespoons chili powder





Rinse the shark steaks and trim off any skin.





Mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl to form a paste. Spread a thin layer of the mixture on both sides of each shark steak. Place on a plate and cover. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.





Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).





Arrange the shark on a baking sheet. Bake the shark in the preheated oven until cooked completely through, about 40 minutes, turning the steaks over once, about half-way through the cooking time.





Can also be grilled for 15 minutes, turning once half-way through the cooking time.
Lots of people who don't much like fish (me, me) like salmon, which lends itself to many easy preparations and sauces. Gamefish--yellowfin tuna (also called ahi) and swordfish--taste the least fishy. IMO, ahi has a definite steak-like taste. Splash some worcestershire on swordfish and grill or broil. Don't forget shellfish as another healthy option. Shrimp and scallops can be quite tasty.





I heat just enough olive oil to coat the pan, dust ahi or large scallops with pan searing flour (which is just seasoned flour), and when the oil smokes, in it goes. The ahi I watch the edges, and when it's browned a quarter of the way up, I flip it. When the other side's cooked a quarter of the way up, and the center is rare, it's done--and I like it every bit as much as a good steak.





For any kind of fish fillet or steak (salmon, tuna, marlin, tilapia, halibut, tuna, catfish, perch, trout, swordfish, whitefish, sable, shark--but not shellfish), there are always three options. Bake at 350F in a pan with sides (water will leak out), broil 3-4 inches from heat, or grill over hot coals, each for ten minutes per inch of thickness. (Measured at the thickest part. Seriously, measure it, literally.)





Cooked fish flakes very easily, so if you grill, you may need to get a mesh or other metal basket or device that keeps it in one piece instead of letting bits cooked through to fall into the fire.





Purchased marinades are plentiful, or try mixing lemon juice, softened/melted margarine, and a little pepper and dotting it on the fish. Note: if your fish has skin or scales, put that side down when baking unless a recipe instructs otherwise. Scales/skin will really stick to a glass pan, so use a non-stick spray first or line it with foil.
i like salmon alot....i dont think it has a very fishy flavor, because i also dont like most types of fish. i usually broil the salmon in the oven, and i put alot of lemon juice, garlic and basil on it before putting it in the oven....and grilling it is also good





some other sauces you could put on it is soy sauce, teryakki sauce or some type of salad dressing like Italian dressing
I agree with what others have said - Salmon and Talapia are mild and can be prepared a variety of ways. I didn't used to like fish either and the more I have eaten the more I have acquired a taste for it. Also they do sell Omega-3, fish oil capsules in the vitamin section of a drug or grocery store.
I always ate trout when I wanted a bland fish. You can roast it in the oven with butter/oil (your preference) and lemon juice. Old bay Spice seasoning will add some flavor, too.
take fish body oil which has the omega three fatty acids. or just learn to eat fish like every one else.
take a fish oil pill and eat chicken!
Tilapia is very mild tasting. I dont like ';fishy'; fish also, but really like Tilapia. I've grilled it in the past with salt and lemon pepper, and it came out fine.





Tuna is good, especially if you already like tuna sandwiches.





Seafood doesn't necessarily have to be fish though, adding shrimp instead of chicken to a burrito sounds like a good idea to me ;-)
