mageleby's bread stick copycat recipe

1 1/2 C Water
1T Honey
1T malted milk powder
1 tsp salt
3 to 3 1/2 C Flour
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1/2 C butter
Parmesan Cheese (the kind you shake out)
Garlic Powder
Dried parsley flakes

Place warm water, honey, milk powder, salt and flour in a bowl. Make an indentation in the flour, add the yeast and mix it up. (or put it in your bread maker and put it through the dough cycle) Dump it into a greased bowl and let it double in size. Preheat the oven to 400. Roll it out into a rectangle and cut it into strips about 2 x 3 inches. Place on a parchment lined jelly roll pan. Brush with half the melted butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley flakes to taste and bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Immediately after you remove the baked breadsticks, brush with the rest of the butter. Then eat them and make yourself a promise you'll run on the treadmill tonight. Or tomorrow.

Homemade Tortillas

Haven't tried this yet. Just putting it here so I know where to find it when I do! Thought it would be a great recipe using my food storage.

Tortillas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teas baking powder
  • 1/2 teas salt
  • 2 Tablespoons of butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup of warm water

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a medium bowl.

Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough is formed. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Roll dough into one and one-half inch balls. Set on a plate and cover. Let rest for ten minutes.

Homemade Tortillas

Flatten one ball at a time between two small plates and then roll into a six inch circle.

Homemade Tortillas

The flatter you roll the dough the more it will resemble soft tacos, thicker dough is more like a gordita.

Place the tortillas on a griddle and cook over a medium heat until the tortillas turn white, then flip and repeat.

Ready to eat.

You can even make these for dessert. Just follow the recipe above and when the tortillas are right off the griddle, butter them and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Delish!
