Munsterland Buttermilk Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the yeast and water in the bowl of your mixer and let proof for 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the buttermilk and butter over low heat until the butter melts.
• The mixture will look badly curdled- don't worry, that's what happens when buttermilk is heated.
• It will be fine.
• Mix the salt, baking soda and sugar into 1 cup of the flour.
• Pour over the yeast, and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Put the bowl on your mixer with the dough hook attachment, add another cup of flour and mix until the flour is incorporated.
• Keep adding flour until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky.
• Then let the dough knead in the machine 5-10 minutes.
• Take out of the bowl and finish kneading by hand until the dough is smooth.
• Turn into a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, then a towel, and then let it sit to rise until doubled.
• Punch down the dough, divide and shape into 2 loaves, then place in greased loaf pans.
• Set aside for the second rising.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the loaves until done, about 30-45 minutes.

Steps:

• For the pickled red cabbage slaw: In a small saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar, bay leaves, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Put the onions and cabbage in a large heatproof bowl or container and pour the boiling liquid over them. Toss to coat. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator and up to overnight. Right before serving, add the parsley.
• For the pork chops: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, granulated garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the brine and pork chops to a large ziptop bag, making sure the pork chops are evenly coated. Close tightly. Allow the chops to sit for 2 hours on the counter and up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• Set up a breading station with one plate of the flour, one bowl of the eggs and one plate of the breadcrumbs.
• Remove the pork chops from the brine and allow any excess to drip off. Bread the pork chops by evenly coating them in the flour, followed by the egg and finishing with the breadcrumbs.
• Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. Pour enough oil into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet to come halfway up the sides of the pork chops and heat over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet in batches and shallow-fry until golden brown or a thermometer reads 135 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes per side. (If the pork chop breading is getting too dark while cooking in the oil, finish the pork chops in the oven at 350 degrees F until an internal temperature of 135 to 140 degrees F is reached.) Remove the chops to the baking sheet and season with salt.
• Serve the chops with the slaw and mustard.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 9 by 2-inch metal baking pan.
• Blend the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a processor for 5 seconds. Add the butter cubes. Blend until the butter is reduced to tiny pieces, 15 to 20 seconds. Whisk the buttermilk, sour cream and eggs in a large bowl to blend. Add the dry ingredients from the processor and stir until evenly moistened. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake the corn bread until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool the bread on a rack at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Butter bottom and sides of a 10 inch cast iron skillet or 9x9 inch baking pan.
• Mix first 6 ingredients in a food processor.
• Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Beat buttermilk, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl.
• Add milk mixture to dry ingredients and process until just blended.
• Transfer to prepared pan.
• Bake about 30 minutes, until golden on top and tester comes out clean when inserted into center.
• Cool in pan on rack.

Steps:

• Mix the milk and lemon juice in a jug. Leave at room temperature for 5-10 mins until the milk has thickened slightly. It won't thicken as much as traditional buttermilk, but it's a great substitute when making scones, soda bread or pancakes. Don't worry if the mixture looks curdled or has small white lumps in it, it will be fine once cooked.

Steps:

• Warm the buttermilk, add the yeast and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Mix together the flour and salt.
• Add the buttermilk/yeast mixture and the "seeds". Mix well. The dough should be elastic, but not sticky. If necessary add more flour or milk until it reaches the correct consistency.
• Knead dough 10 minutes. Cover with a cloth and leave it to rise until it doubles in a warm place.
• Form a round loaf from the dough. Place on a greased sheet, cover and let it rise another 30 minutes.
• During this time, preheat the oven to 250°C and place an ovenproof dish with boiling water on the bottom of the oven.
• Once the oven has reached the correct temperature, place the bread on the middle rack and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 200°C and bake for approximately 45 minutes.
• Remove bread from oven and brush with cold water to create a shiny crust.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Add buttermilk, 2 1/2 cups flour, shortening, sugar, baking powder, salt, and mix well.
• Add remaining flour and mix well. Dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
• Turn dough out onto well floured surface and knead 5 minute.
• Roll dough into a 9x18 inch rectangle, and starting at the short side, roll up into a roll.
• Press down ends of roll to seal, and tuck ends under roll.
• Place roll in greased loaf pan, seam side down and cover with damp cloth. Let rise 1 hr, or until doubled.
• Heat oven to 425F and bake approx 35 minute Loaves should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Steps:

• Let the buttermilk come to room temperature or microwave until almost warm.
• Add the ingredients to the machine in order given.
• Set on dough cycle.
• When complete, remove dough and shape into a log and place in a pam sprayed loaf pan.
• Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size or about 1 hour.
• Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 30 minutes.
