Walnut Wheat Crumbles Recipes

Steps:

• Blend in a blender until creamy 1 cup walnut pieces(or pecan meal) and 1 cup water.
• Add and blend the 1 cup water, onion powder, celery salt, garlic salt, salt and onion salt.
• Pour the mixture into a 2 quart saucepan.
• Add the 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil.
• Add the 2 cups bulghur wheat and return to a boil.
• Lower the heat to simmer and cook about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool until it gets thick. Pour evenly onto 2 nonstick cookie sheets.
• Bake at 200*F. for 3 1/2 hours or until completely dehydrated, fluffing or crumbling the mixture every hour with a fork.
• Turn off the oven and let the crumbles cool completely. They will be dry and crunchy. Put them into an airtight container and they will keep for weeks.
• Crumbles can be reconstituted by combining 2 cups crumbles with 2 cups hot liquid(water, tomato juice, or broth) and cooking them over low heat until they have reached the desired consistency. However, you don't need to reconstitute them when making chili or other recipes that contain liquids like soups and stews.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 8 by 8-inch baking dish (or similar 1 1/2 to 2- quart dish) with cooking spray.
• Make the fruit: Combine plums, sugar, orange zest and juice in a large bowl, toss to coat. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the topping. Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl with a fork. Add butter and blend with a pastry blender or your fingertips. Add oil and stir to coat. Add orange-juice concentrate and blend with your fingertips until dry ingredients are moistened.
• When fruit has baked for 20 minutes, stir it and sprinkle topping evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake, uncovered, until fruit is bubbly and tender and topping is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream (or frozen yogurt), if desired.

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, walnuts, oats, and salt in the bowl of a mixer. Add butter, and beat on medium speed until mixture forms small clumps.

Steps:

• Toast walnuts in an oven or under the broiler. Set aside to cool.
• Place yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix salt into 2 cups (473 milliliters) lukewarm water. Stir into yeast. Stir in maple syrup and 2 tablespoons oil.
• Measure 1 cup of the toasted walnuts, place in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of the whole-wheat flour and process until finely ground. Add to bowl along with remaining whole-wheat flour. Stir with a wooden spoon.
• Add bread flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms and leaves the sides of the bowl. (At this point you're better off mixing with your hands.) Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Continue adding bread flour, kneading as you go, until you have a dough that's a bit on the soft side, only slightly sticky and easy to handle.
• Clean out your bowl, coat it with 1 tablespoon oil, and place dough back into the bowl, turning it so it's oiled all over. Cover with a cloth and set aside to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch the dough down, add remaining toasted walnuts and lightly knead them into the dough. Dust a spacious baking sheet with cornmeal. Divide the dough in half, shape into 2 balls and place on the baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise for an hour.
• Place the oven rack in the lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Slash the tops of the breads with a razor or a lame (a baker's blade). Do not be tentative about this step; your slashes should be a good half-inch deep, done with a firm, even hand.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven. Throw a handful of ice cubes on the floor of the oven to create steam. Bake 20 minutes. By this time the breads should be a nice honey-brown. Brush them with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, reduce heat to 350 degrees, add more ice cubes and bake about 25 minutes longer, until the breads are well browned and sound hollow when tapped. Allow to cool at least 1 hour before cutting.
