Fooled Ya Pizza- s


Cauliflower
mozzarella cheese
salt
seasoning
 
1.Lightly steam 1 bag of frozen cauliflower; or two large heads of cauliflower.

2.Put lightly steamed cauliflower into colander and press out as much of the liquid as you can. I use a paper towel to help absorb the moisture as I press. Make sure that you wring out as much as possible.

3.Put cauliflower in a food processor and pulse a few times; until you get rice-sized pieces.
 
4.Add 3/4 cup Egg whites and pulse again. Add two cups grated mozzarella cheese, a pinch of salt, dash of Italian seasoning and a little bit of both onion and garlic powder. We also like to add a bit of the Pizza dough seasoning from the King Arthur Flour company.
 
5.Mix ingredients well with a spatula inside the food processor. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and grease parchment well. This is very important or the crust will stick.
Plop entire mixture onto the middle of the tray and spread it outwards until it fits most of the tray. Try not to have a thicker middle than sides.

5.Bake at 450 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Carefully flip crust to other side and bake for 10 more minutes.
 
 6.When finished, top with as many delectable pizza goodies as you wish-then bake for about 12-15 minutes. This is incredibly Delicious, and works well as the perfect crust replacement.

Cake in a Mug-S


1 egg
2 Tbsp Cocoa powder
3-4 tsp Truvia
1/2 tsp. Aluminum free Baking Powder
dash of Vanilla
1 Tbsp Water
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil



Beat egg  with a fork in a small microwaveable mug. Add the rest of the ingredients, and stir vigorously until blended. Microwave for one minute.. Enjoy this treat with freshly made whipped cream, or with a splash of heavy whipping cream on the top.

Feeding sourdough



When feeding the barm you want to double the volume, anything less does not provide enough nutrients to keep it healthy.

to feed or refresh the barm do as follows:

1.remove your existing barm from the fridge.

2. pour off the "hooch" this is the grey-ish liquid on the surface of the dough. If your hooch is pink your starter/barm is not good anymore and needs to be disposed of.

3.allow the barm to reach room temperature (about an hour) we do this in the Bosch.

4.after the barm is no longer cold, add 3 parts flour and 3 parts water. Mix with the wisk attachment.

5. allow the mixture to ferment (4-6 hours is great but 2 is fine in a hurry)agin we do this in the bosh but a clean bowl is fine also.

6.pour your barm back into your clean container. save at least 2 cups barm for next time. Return to the fridge. Feed every few weeks or so(every few days is ideal but we often neglect ours and it just needs several feedings to hit its flavor ideal.

7. the reaming volume can be used for bread, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, etc.

*store your barm in a glass container. If you have a metal lid line the lid with plastic wrap or parchment. never use soap on your container. Just hot water!
