The world’s oldest bread loaf is more than 8,000 years old.

Still eatable?

Views: 22

The world’s oldest bread loaf is more than 8,000 years old.

Bread is such a staple food that it’s often synonymous with sustenance itself, as in “putting bread on the table,” “breadwinner,” or “daily bread.” Indeed, humans have been eating bread for a long, long time. The earliest loaf of bread ever discovered is a whopping 8,600 years old, unearthed at Çatalhöyük, a Neolithic settlement in what is now southern Turkey, comprised of mud-brick dwellings built on top of one another.

While excavating the site, archaeologists found the remains of a large oven, and nearby, a round, organic, spongy residue among some barley, wheat, and pea seeds. After biologists scanned the substance with an electron microscope, they revealed that it was a very small loaf of uncooked bread. It had been fermented, like a sourdough loaf, and someone had pressed their finger in the center of it. The dough had been encased in clay, which allowed it to survive for thousands of years.

The preserved loaf dates back to around 6600 BCE, but by that point, humans had already been baking bread for thousands of years. Some baking even predates agriculture, meaning our prehistoric ancestors were making the food with foraged grains. The oldest known evidence of bread, found in the Black Desert in modern-day Jordan, dates back around 14,000 years. Researchers recovered crumbs from large, circular stone fireplaces — one archaeobotanist compared it to the charred crumbs at the bottom of a toaster. This ancient bread was made of wild wheat and root vegetables, kneaded, then baked on hot stones. The process would have been labor intensive, so archaeologists theorize that bread was a treat reserved for special occasions.

Lemon Raspberry Cake recipe

Views: 16

Source: https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a60607895/lemon-raspberry-cake-recipe/

Ingredients:

FOR THE CAKE:

  • Baking spray with flour, for the pans (optional)
  • 2 1/2 c.all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp.baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp.baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp.kosher salt
  • 1 3/4 c.granulated sugar
  • 8 tbsp.(1 stick) salted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1/2 c.vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp.lemon zest plus 1/3 c. fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 3large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 c.buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp.vanilla extract

FOR THE JAM FILLING:

  • 1 tbsp.cornstarch
  • 3/4 c.seedless raspberry jam

FOR THE RASPBERRY FROSTING:

  • 1 c.(2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/3 c.seedless raspberry jam
  • 1 tbsp.fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp.vanilla extract
  • 5 c.powdered sugar
  • 1(6-oz.) container raspberries (optional)

Directions:

  1. For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with baking spray with flour. (Alternatively, butter and flour the pans.) Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper and spray (or butter) again.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. 3In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, vegetable oil, and lemon zest until combined. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until lightened in color, about 1 minute. Whisk in the buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, whisking to combine after each addition.
  4. 4Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans. Tap the pans a few times on a kitchen towel on your countertop to level the surface and remove air bubbles.
  5. 5Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
  6. 6For the jam filling: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. In a small saucepan, heat the jam over medium heat until pourable and smooth, about 1 minute. Remove the jam from the heat and whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, until no longer cloudy with cornstarch and a rubber spatula dragged through the mixture reveals the bottom of the pan for a few seconds before the jam flows back together, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the thickened mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely.
  7. 7For the frosting: To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the jam, lemon juice, and vanilla, and beat on low speed until just combined, 30 seconds. The mixture might appear broken but that is okay. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the butter and jam are no longer separated, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar, and beat on low speed until combined. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  8. 8Place 1 cake layer on a cake plate. Spread about ½ cup of frosting over the top; this will be a barrier to prevent the cake from absorbing the jam filling. Spoon about ½ cup of the frosting into a zip-top bag and cut a ¾-inch opening in one corner. Alternatively, use a pastry bag fitted with a ¾-inch tip. Pipe a thick border around the edge of the frosted cake layer; this will prevent the jam filling from leaking out the sides of the cake.
  9. 9Stir the jam filling to loosen it up. Spread the filling on top of the cake within the frosting border, leaving about ½ inch of space between the filling and the border. Top with the second cake layer.
  10. 10Spread about 1 cup of frosting in a thin layer over the top and sides of the cake. Chill the cake, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the frosting and the filling. Use the remaining frosting to frost the top and sides of the cake.
  11. 11Decorate the cake with the raspberries or serve on the side, if you like.

Chorizo is made from ground pork that has been seasoned with paprkia, chili peppers, and vinegar. It’s commonly used in tacos, burritos, and egg dishes. If you can’t find chorizo in your grocery store, you can make your own homemade version by combining 1 pound ground pork, 2 T. chili powder, 2 T. paprika, 1 tsp. cumin, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 C. apple cider vinegar.

250-Year-Old Cherries Found at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate.

Still sweet after 250 years.

Views: 274

250-Year-Old Cherries Found at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate. 

Archaeologists found something incredibly rare in the cellar of George Washington’s home at Mount Vernon: Two intact jars of cherries buried in the basement of the first U.S. president’s house.

The story of a young George Washington chopping down a cherry tree may be a myth, but the first U.S. president did likely dine on cherries at Mount Vernon, as evidenced by a recent discovery. Archeologists came upon two intact bottles of cherries that had been buried beneath a brick floor at the Virginia estate.

Principal archaeologist Jason Boroughs called the preserved fruit an “extraordinary” find. “They’re plump, they have flesh, they have pits and stems,” he told USA Today. “They don’t look as if they’ve been sitting in a bottle for 250 years, although they have.”
​
​According to a press release from Mount Vernon, the liquid still even smelled of cherry blossoms. The European-manufactured jugs were likely produced in the mid-18th century and ended up buried when the brick floor was laid in the 1770s.

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, softened

  2. Arrange apple slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sift flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender, or 2 knives, until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal; sprinkle over apples.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

  4. The butter should be gently cut into the flour so it remains in small lumps. This will result in a light, crunchy topping.

Almond Cookie Bars with Coconut.

Oh it's so good.

Almond Cookie Bars with Coconut.

HOW TO MAKE COOKIE BARS WITH ALMOND FLOUR

This buttery cookie is made much like shortbread. Except we are using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour is my favorite {not sponsored, just a big fan}.

Baking with almond flour is very common in gluten free baking. You use it much like regular flour, but the two can’t usually be swapped for one another without making additional recipe changes. Almond flour is made of finely ground almonds so it reacts differently from regular flour made of wheat.

INGREDIENTS FOR THIS GLUTEN FREE RECIPE

ingredients for almond cookie bars with coconut
  • Almond flour ~ I used Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour
  • Confectioners’ sugar ~ adds softness and some sweetness
  • Kosher salt ~ if using table salt, use a little less
  • Coconut ~ use flaked or shredded, the kind that looks like shredded cheese. If you don’t want long strands in the cookie bars, give it a little chop before adding to the recipe.
  • Unsalted butter ~ because this is a shortbread like base, I recommend a good quality European butter such as Plugra or Kerrygold.
  • Chocolate ~ I used a chopped milk chocolate bar {I always have Trader Joe’s Pound Plus bars in my baking cabinet}, but you could use chocolate chips and dark chocolate, if preferred.
  • Almonds ~ dry roasted almonds were chopped for the topping, but you could also use sliced or slivered almonds.
HOW TO MAKE ALMOND COOKIE BARS WITH COCONUT AND CHOCOLATE

Start by preparing an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. This is the USA Pan that I use and love.

Then add the almond flour, confectioners’ sugar, coconut and kosher salt in a bowl and mix to combine. I use my pastry cutter for this {less dishes to wash!}. Next add the unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

  • butter on top of dry ingredients in a glass bowl
  • cookie bar dough in a bowl

Now press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly browned. Remember your oven is different than mine and our baking times might be slightly different.

When the cookie is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate over the hot bars. Allow it to sit for three minutes, then use an off-set spatula to smooth the melted chocolate over the almond cookie.

  • chopped chocolate melting over almond flour cookie base
  • chocolate layer spread over buttery almond base

Sprinkle coconut and chopped almonds over the top of the melted chocolate. Then use clean hands to lightly press the coconut and almonds in to the melted chocolate.

Now comes the hard part, waiting for them to cool! It takes about an hour for the cookies to be cool enough to slice them into bars without them falling apart. You can speed this process up by placing the pan in the refrigerator once it is cool enough to handle with bare hands.

Classic One-Pot Pasta. Made the Amish way.

Simple Amish Pasta.

Classic One-Pot Pasta. Made the Amish way.

This pasta dish doesn’t have to be made with spaghetti, you can use rotini, penne pasta, or noodles. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the spaghetti and it is delicious. Leftovers of this supper can be stored in an airtight container and put in the fridge. Out of all the one-pot pasta recipes I’ve tried this is one of the best and most flavorful.

Pasta is often seen as an Italian creation and perhaps it is, but the Amish have definitely embraced homemade pasta – especially noodles – as their own. Most noodles just take eggs, flour, and salt and some patience and you have a delicious dish.

Their diet revolves around self-sufficiency and locally-grown foods. They often make their own egg noodles, which are similar to pasta, and sometimes even other types like ravioli or lasagna.

INGREDIENTS.
  • 12 ounces spaghetti or homemade egg noodles
  • 6-8 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, very finely chopped or grated
  • about 4 garlic cloves
  • 3 cups home-canned chopped tomatoes with liquid or use store-bought
  • Tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, allspice (to taste) salt, pepper
INSTRUCTIONS.
  • In a pot, heat the oil and saute onion until translucent.
  • Add carrots and garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
  • Add chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar, spices   about 4 cups broth. Bring to boil and cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Add spaghetti and simmer until the pasta is   about 15 minutes. Stir from time In a pot, heat the oil and saute onion until translucent.
  • Add carrots and garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
