CHEESE SOURDOUGH BREAD

 I guess I'm on a roll. This recipe was found while looking for my Lefsa as well. 

As I was reading it, I have no clue where I got it or how I came up with this. I wonder if I was trying to follow someone else on TV (YEARS AGO) and just wrote was I was thinking - that's fun! I can't think fast enough sometimes. lol 

300g bread flour
75g white whole wheat flour
280g water

Mix, let sit for an hour. 

Add

70g Leven (sourdough and salt)
6 g sea salt

Set aside for 30 minutes

Lamination (?) and add 50 g parmesan (shredded) cheese
I am betting you can add whatever cheese you want. 

Set aside for 30 minutes

Followed by 5 "coil folds" and separate by 45 minutes. Let sit 45 minutes to finish bulk. Shape and put in refrigerator for 15 hours. 

Buil temp was 76-78* 

Bake in a 500* covered for 16 minutes. 
Lower temp to 425* 10 minutes then lower again to 400* for 11 minutes. 

That was my notes. Now the fun part is figuring it out and working the bread. I will probably do this soon. I will say, interesting notes. lol 

CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Isn't it funny how we want a recipe for our childhood and look for it? Sometimes it takes an hour to find it, but we finally do, or we call a relative to see if they have it for you.  

That was me today. I went through my "favorite" box of recipes to find a few that I wasn't looking for. So, I moved them to the front of my stack. I love cooking and baking. Trouble is, I didn't realize till after I married my husband, that he was SO PICKY about food. Which in turn, had me cooking less and baking more. He has a sweet tooth. 

I was looking for this recipe awhile. I saw someone have a little different take on this recipe and I wanted to try it. Trouble was, I couldn't find it. Since I was looking for my grandmother's Lefsa recipe, I found this! 

It's easy and fun! Hard to believe fudge is at the bottom of the cake when you take it out, but it is! Love it too!

1 cp flour (all-purpose or whatever you use)
3/4 cp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsps Cocoa (can use any you like)
2 Tbsp shortening (back in the day that was lard, but we just use shortening now)

Combine all the dry ingredients. 

Cut "fat" into dry ingredients and add 1/2 cp milk. Mix until moistened and put into a square pan. 

TOPPING

Mix together 

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cp cocoa
2 cps HOT water
If you desire, add nuts

pour over cake mixture 

Bake 30 mins at 350* Serve warm. 

Pudding will be on the bottom of the cake. Enjoy!
