Crescia bread or italian cheese bread

If you don’t like locatelli cheese then don’t even bother making this bread, this bread has such a great aroma and flavor that you will eat an entire loaf by yourself, it is also perfect for gift giving and the best part is that you can freeze it weeks in advance and everyone will think that you just made it that day.


Remember all ingredients should be at room temperature.


12 eggs well beaten


9 cups unsifted flour


1 lb. grated locatelli cheese


2 ounces dry yeast


5 teaspoons ground black pepper


1 cup warm water


Ѕ lb. butter melted slightly or real soft


1 teaspoon salt


Put yeast in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon sugar and the 1 cup warm water and mix well, let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.


Place your eggs in a mixing bowl and whip till well broken, add your yeast that you had already started, now add your melted butter, pepper, salt, flour, locatelli cheese, and if I missed any ingredient then put it in.


Mix on low speed until well blended then on second speed for 3 or 4 minutes, you should have a really nice dough, if it is too dry add some water, if it is too wet then add some more flour, separate dough in 1-1/4 pound pieces, shape it until it looks like a 6 inch hoagie bun and place it in well greased bread pans, let rise until double in size and bake in a 300 degree preheated oven for 45 minutes. The smell should be in the entire neighborhood by the time you are finished.

Amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe

This is our families secret chocolate chip recipe. We have a large family so this one makes over 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies. You can experiment with most cookie recipes to adjust to your own taste. Remenmber the more brown sugar you use the more chewy type cookie you create. I don't think this one needs much adjusting. First we will start with ingredients.


INGREDIENTS:


4 cups (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate


1cup butter


2 cups all-purpose flour


2 cups yellow cake mix


1 teaspoon baking soda


2 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 1/2 cups white sugar


1 cup brown sugar


4 eggs


2 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 1/4cup sour cream


3 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips


Directions to cookie recipe.


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.


2. Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together.


3. Sift cake mix, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.


4. In a large bowl, beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla.


5. Stir the chocolate mixture into the eggs.


6. Stir in the sifted ingredients with sour cream.


7. Mix in chocolate chips.


8. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls cookie sheets.


9. Bake for until edges are starting to turn dark brown.


Enjoy these wonderful cookies at any occasion. They disappear very quickly at family events. You might notice my secret ingredient. It is the boxed yellow cake mix. Cake flour gives the cookie a little more body than the regular unbleached flour. You may use any of your favorite brands. If you are making smaller cookies don't forget that the baking time goes down. Many ovens produce heat from the bottom of the oven, so as not burn the bottom of the cookies many times I will double pan the cookies before I bake them. Baking is similar to a gigantic chemistry experiment. The best way to get the experiment right is to keep experimenting. Once you have found the best combinations of ingredients and procedures, stick with it. Enjoy!
