Ingredients;
3 Cups of lukewarm water.
6 1/2 to 7 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour.
1 Tablespoon of Salt.
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Instant or Active Dry Yeast.

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until combined.  (about 1 minute)
The Dough should be very sticky.
Grease a bowl and transfer the Dough into it.
Cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise until it doubles in size. This takes about 2 hours at room temp then put it in the refrigerator for another 2 hours.
Once it doubles in size, flour your work surface, and take about half of the dough and form it into a ball.  
Place the ball of Dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
Give the ball of Dough a light dusting of Flour to help keep it moist.
Let the Dough rise at room temp for about 1 hour.
Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees and place a cast iron pan on the lowest rack.
When you are ready to bake the Bread, make slices about 1/4 inch deep in the top of the loaf.
Place the loaf on the middle rack of the oven, and pour 1 cup of hot water into the cast iron pan, then quickly close the oven door.
Let it cook for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

3 pieces of cooked crumbled Bacon
1 Teaspoon of dried Rosemary
1 Teaspoon of Onion Powder
1 1/2 cups of shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/4 cup of Olive Oil.
1/3 cup Greek Yogurt.
1 Teaspoon of Sugar.

In another bowl mix the Yogurt, Olive Oil, and Egg together.
Add the Yeast mixture to the Greek Yogurt mixture.
In a mixing bowl combine Salt, Baking Powder, and 1 cup of All Purpose Flour.
Add the Yogurt, Yeast, to the Flour and start mixing.
Slowly add in the remaining 2 cups of Flour until the dough is no longer sticky.
Once mixed well, knead for at least 3 minutes and roll into a ball.
Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a wet towel until doubled in size.
Once the dough is doubled, flatten into a 1/2 thick rectangle, and cut into 8 equal sized squares.
Roll the squares into small balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
Cover with plastic wrap for 1 hour.
Stretch the balls into palm-sized flat pieces and grill on high heat.
I used my grill, but it was only 18 degrees outside and it wasn't as hot as I would have liked.

Scallops with Golden Balsamic Reduction and Fennel Salad


Scallops with Golden Balsamic Reduction and Fennel Salad

Ingredients;
Scallops.  Try to get dry non-STP treated Scallops.
1 Fennel Bulb, keep the fronds for garnish.
Baby Arugula.
Lemon, Lime, and Orange Zest for garnish.
Lemon, Lime, and Orange Supremes.
8.5 oz Golden Balsamic.
Salt.

Dry off and clean the grit from Scallops, then remove the abductor muscle on the side of the Scallop.
Cook them in a ripping hot pan with Grapeseed Oil or Canola Oil until they get nice and brown, then flip over.  This only takes a few minutes.
Cut the Fennel bulb into the thinnest slices you can cut.  I use a Mandoline set to 1/16th of an inch.
Mix the Fruit, Arugula, and Fennel together.
Reduce the Balsamic on a medium-high heat until it has a syrupy consistency.  If you let it cool, it gets way too thick to work with.
Serve it up and enjoy it.
