No bake recipes

No-Bake Salted Caramel Popcorn

1/2 cup unpopped kernels (or make 10 cups of the microwavable popcorn)
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
heaping 1/2 tsp of sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
Preparation Instructions
1) Pop the popcorn as instructed by the packaging. Set aside in a large bowl.

2) In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the butter until melted and stir in the brown sugar. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes.

3) While the caramel is boiling, mix together the salt and baking soda. After 3 minutes of boiling has passed, add it in and stir till combined.

4) Take the saucepan off the heat and pour it in batches into the popcorn, stirring the popcorn after pouring the caramel in each time.

Herbed Garlic Parmesan Focaccia_-6
Preparation Instructions
1. Add the yeast to the warm water and let activate for 10 minutes. Add in the olive oil.

2. Sift together the flour, salt, and rosemary. Add the wet and dry ingredients together in a stand mixer and use the dough hook tool to mix together the dough for 2-3 minutes.

3. Let the dough rise for two hours in a warm place, covered.

4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Punch the dough down, then divide into three different balls and place in three mini skillets, spreading out the dough to fill the skillets. Let rise for 20 minutes.

5. Use your fingers to make indents in the dough, then sprinkle with garlic salt and the parmesan. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil on each skillet.

6. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. If the top begins to burn, cover with aluminum foil.

Easy 30-Minute Pizza Dough II

  • 3/4 cup warm water

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon honey

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • In a large bowl, place the warm water in first then the honey.
  • Sprinkle the yeast on top, agitate the bowl slightly if you have to so the yeast gets immersed in the water. Wait 10-15 minutes or until foamy.
  • Add the oil and salt.
  • Blend in the flours and knead until elasticy, about 5 minutes or so.
  • Cover with parchment paper or a dish towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
  • Spray a cookie sheet, pizza stone, or round baking dish with cooking spray and put some dough in and you're set! I get about 3-4 little pizzas out of this amount of dough; it's thicker than my other pizza dough recipe.
