Jacques Pepin's Flatbread Recipe

I saw Chef Pepin make this on one of his shows, and thought, that is almost like the bread I used to make when I lived on the Beach in St. Augustine Florida and I had no yeast. I called it a cheat pizza dough, and I added tons of granulated garlic. Serves 6 1 1⁄2 cups/188g regular all purpose flour 1 cup/250ml water 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml salt 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 2 tablespoons/30ml water Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and "stir it into a gooey stuff" as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients. Heat a non-stick 10" / 25.4 cm skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough. Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.) Add remaining water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the o...

Google Used Artificial Intelligence to Create Two New Mashup Desserts Based on Baking Search Data

Meet the Cakie (half cake/half cookie) and the Breakie (half bread/half cookie). By Mike Pomranz January 15, 2021 Hollywood has taught us that artificial intelligence is primarily the pathway to deadly robot uprisings—and it may well be… We'll have to see how things play out. But while we wait, AI experts are finding other interesting ways to use the technology—whether it's developing new flavors or selling beer faster —and at Google, they recently revealed an application that only sounds dangerous to our waistlines… artificial intelligence-created desserts! CREDIT: ADOBE STOCK Inspired by the pandemic-spawned spike in searches for baking , the team at Google Cloud "decided to dive a little deeper into the trend and try to understand the science behind what makes cookies crunchy, cake spongy and bread fluffy," according to a post on their blog . Then, once armed with that machine learning knowledge, they attempted to mix these attributes into wh...

Gluten Free Minorcan Clam Chowder Recipe

This Floridian favorite — allegedly introduced by the Spanish who came over from the island of Minorca — is tomato-based and usuall y the hottest of all chowders. It contains several types of peppers, including habanero and, critically, datil chiles (hard to find anywhere except St. Augustine Florida). The Spanish were the first well-documented Europeans to settle the North American shores, there is no reason not to think that this was the first European clam chowder in the Americas. 1/8 pound/57g salt pork or smoked bacon chopped fine 2 large onions chopped 1 bell pepper chopped 2 cups/480g fresh clams, chopped fine, juice reserved 1-2 datil peppers, minced 3 cups/540g canned plum tomatoes drained, seeded, and chopped 1/2 cup/125ml tomato puree 1/2 tablespoon thyme, crumbled 1/2 tablespoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1-2 bay leaves crushed 2- 8 ounce bottles clam juice 3 cups/710ml fish stock 2 cups/306g new potatoes, diced Saute pork in ...

Vegetarian Lasagna Bolognese, Authentic Recipe

We were visiting my mother. She is a lovely lady of Polish heritage, that was taught how to cook everything Italian after she married my father. The relatives from the old country took pity on her. When she made pasta, it was from scratch and rolled out with an old broom handle, and dried out on the bed on clean sheets. I said I'd make lasagna and she came out with some fresh mozzarella. When I told her I was doing in the style of Bologna, she looked aghast, but said ok. There was left over tofu from the night before, so I rolled up my sleeves and made a vegetarian Bolognese sauce . It was good, as Ash Wednesday was that week. Here I have shown you how to make the vegetarian version. You can make it vegan by substituting vegan parm and brewers yeast for the Reggiano Parmigiana cheese. The end product is in our opinion, delicious. Lasagna, or as it is called in Bologna lasagne (because it is layers and therefor referred in the plural, is mu...
