Oat N Rye Bread Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Combine oats, molasses, oil, salt and boiling water. Let cool to about 105 degrees F.
• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes or until creamy. Stir the yeast into oat mixture and mix well. Add whole wheat flour, 2 cups bread flour, and the eggs. Mix until well combined.
• Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough out to a floured counter and knead for about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a well-greased bowl and cover with greased plastic wrap. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 3 regular loaf pans and 4 mini loaf pans.
• Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and divide it into 4 pieces. Shape the dough into loaves and place them in the pans, seam-side down. Let rise until doubled, about 90 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Stir the yeast into warm water in a large bowl, add molasses and stir till dissolved.
• Add the white flour and the whole wheat flour, about 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
• When all four cups of flour are stirred in, beat the mixture with a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes. It should be smooth and very soft.
• Cover bowl with a towel and put in a warm place for 45 minutes.
• The yeast sponge should rise considerably and be rather bubbly at the end of this time.
• Now sprinkle salt over the sponge and fold together.
• Add the rye flour and the oats, a little at a time and fold them together. The dough should be quite thick.
• Add enough white flour to make the dough manageable and turn onto a floured board, and knead for about 20 minutes till smooth and elastic.
• Cover and let rise till doubled.
• Punch down and divide into two parts, forming each into a loaf. put into buttered medium loaf pans and let rise till doubled.
• Bake at 350°F for 40-60 minutes (depends on your oven and how crusty you like your bread - my loaves were just right at about 40-45 minutes. I brushed the loaves with butter after baking to soften the crust).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Place pork sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Place the celery and onions in the saucepan, and slowly cook and stir until tender.
• Mix together the sausage, celery, onions, bread, sage, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Pour the eggs and chicken broth into the mixture. Use more broth if needed. The stuffing should be moist, not mushy.
• Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is brown and crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Toast bread chunks in two 4-sided sheet pans in oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Leave oven on.
• Meanwhile, cook caraway seeds in 6 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add celery, apples, onion, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and sauté until vegetables are softened and starting to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add stock, scraping up any brown bits. Add mixture to bread cubes, tossing to coat.
• Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake, uncovered, in upper third of oven until stuffing is crisp on top, about 45 minutes.
• What to drink:
• Josmeyer Les Folastries Gewürztraminer '05

Steps:

• Dice onion to 1/4 inch pieces.
• Dice garlic to very small pieces.
• Dry mix oatmeal, salt, pepper, sage, onion, and garlic.
• Knead in the vegetable shortening, then knead in half of the butter. If consistency is not sticking together to form a clump when kneading, then continue to add butter in 1 tbs. increments. Increase amount of butter if necessary.
• Fluff mixture so it isn't hard-packed, and then stuff bird with mixture.
• On edit: I generally cook turkey slower and longer than most and add water to the pan for gravy use. I baste it several times throughout and shoot the water with a squeeze bulb type baster directly into the bird's cavity to keep the dressing moist.

Steps:

• Combine rolled oats, molasses, brown sugar, salt , and lard in a large mixing bowl; add boiling water; stir well.
• Cool to lukewarm.
• Proof yeast in lukewarm water.
• Add to warm, not hot, oatmeal mixture.
• Add 4 cups flour; beat well.( mianbao only had to add 3 3/4 cup flour ,just until stiff people ).
• Add remaining flour, mixing well after each addition.
• Knead until smooth and elastic.
• Shape in a ball; let rise in warm place in a lightly greased bowl; cover with a damp cloth, until doubled.
• Punch down.
• Divide into two balls.
• Let rest 10 minutes.
• Shape into loaf.
• Place in a greased 5-1/2 x 10-1/2 loaf pan.
• Let rise until doubled.
• Bake 45 minutes in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven.
• Brush with melted butter if tender crust is desired.

Steps:

• Starter/Levain
• I made 200g of almost all-rye sourdough starter by feeding 40g starter with 80g water and 80g whole grain rye flour, and I used it when it was a little more than doubled in size. Other ways of building up this large amount of ripe starter are fine too.
• Mixing and Bulk Fermentation
• Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. If possible, scrape the batter into a straight-walled dough bucket or separate out a tiny amount of dough to put in an aliquot jar to help track fermentation (explanation above, photo in the gallery below).
• Cover and let the batter rise until it has expanded by about 75%. In my ~80°F lit oven, this was about five hours.
• Shaping and Final Proof
• Grease a non-stick loaf pan or line a regular loaf pan with parchment paper. I used a medium USA pan, which is 9 x 5 x 2.75 inches.
• Scrape the batter out of your bowl or bucket directly into the loaf pan.
• Repeatedly wet a spatula with water to smooth out the surface of the batter, dipping between the edges of the batter and the pan to create the curved edges of a loaf shape.
• Sprinkle with rye flour if desired, cover, and let the batter rise about 2 centimeters. (See the gallery below for a sense of the expansion.)
• Baking
• Preheat your oven to 450°F for about 20 minutes with a pan on the bottom shelf. You'll pour boiling water into the hot pan when you load the bread into the oven. An alternate option for steam is to make a tight foil tent around the loaf pan and leave it on for the first 15-20 minutes of the bake.
• Boil a cup of water.
• Place the loaf pan in the oven and pour the boiled water on the hot pan below it, then quickly close the oven door.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 390°F, and bake another 25-30 minutes. Rotate the pan if needed for even browning. The internal temperature of the bread should be over 208°F when it's done.
• If possible, wait 24 hours before cutting the bread to let the inside set. You might want to rotate the loaf onto one long side and then the other during this setting period, so it doesn't get dense at the base. If you can't wait for the loaf to set, toast each slice to solidify the crumb.

Steps:

• Toss bread cubes in a large bowl.
• In a skillet, cook and crumble sausage just until cooked thru.
• Remove to paper towels to drain.
• To same skillet, add onion, apples, celery, garlic and butter.
• Saute until apples and vegetables are tender.
• Add both the onion mixture and sausage to bread.
• Add nuts (if desired), seasonings and enough broth to moisten.
• Cover and refrigerate til ready to bake.
• Stuff turkey just before baking.
• Bake any additional stuffing separately in a greased 2 quart casserole dish.
• Or bake all stuffing separately in a greased 13x9x2 baking dish.
• To bake stuffing separately, place in greased dish, cover and bake at 325 degrees for one hour; uncover and bake for 10 minutes longer.
