New Recipes Tried ~ Yogurt Based Bagels ~ Einkorn Pumpkin Bread

 

I brushed the tops with milk and sprinkled homemade everything bagel seasoning on the tops.  The original recipe stated to boil them, just like you would yeast bagels, and I did not.

I went online and searched for the recipe and found several, but for this one, I had to convert grams to cups to make them.  I was shocked at the results.  First, I doubted the dough.  After kneading it, it turned into a nice dough, although started out crumbs.  Baked at 400°F for 25 they turned out nice, but they do need toasted.  The inside is slightly doughy if they are not toasted, but a nice bagel for a breakfast or whatever, if we need a few in a pinch.  I like the fact, it only makes 4 for the two of us as well.  Yes, it requires white all-purpose flour, but I do use organic/non-gmo.  I used organic greek yogurt, and non-gmo baking powder (original recipe uses self-rising flour).

Results?  Pretty good.  They don't stick to the parchment paper either.  However, the next time, I will make 8 bagel thins vs. 4 thick ones.  The 4 larger ones are too thick for a breakfast sandwich.

Next up?  Einkorn Pumpkin Bread.  It is not your typical moist, ooey, gooey pumpkin bread, but it is good.  I was also shocked that it baked up so tall, and looks exactly like the photo in the recipe.  It's fantastic with a slather of butter, but had I gotten around to it, it would be delicous with pumpkin butter, or pumpkin-apple butter too.  The flour in this bread is all-purpose einkorn wheat flour.  There is some sugar in this bread, but the bread itself is not sweet, hence a slather of something on top.

I made us a small batch of cinnamon-honey butter for this bread.  Yum!

Pie Pumpkins Done~ Pumpkin Waffles

 I have roasted and preserved all of our garden pie pumpkins now.  I saved some puree for baking/cooking.  I typically freeze the puree in containers, but I ran out of them, so I froze the rest in ziploc bags, and froze them flat on a baking sheet to save space, and store more easily.

New recipe tried - White Bean Turkey Pumpkin Chili (SkinnyTaste online).  There are no tomatoes in this chili.  We found this to lack flavor, so I added more chili pepper and some diced jalapenos.  

I have also saved some fresh puree for making pumpkin waffles.  There may be some cookies, muffins or other baked this coming week.

Tip:  Did you know you can use pumpkin in place of eggs, butter and oil, depending on what you are making?  There is a good article about it HERE.  I am thinking of trying the Pumpkin Alfredo recipe shared on that article.
