Organic Zucchini Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Grated Fresh Zucchini
- 2/3 Cup Organic Melted Butter
- 1 1/3 Cup sugar
- 2 eggs preferably pastured
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla
- 2 Teaspoons baking soda
- Pinch sea salt
- 3 Cups organic sprouted flour (we suggest sprouted white wheat or sorghum flour)

Units:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl combine the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini and then the melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture. (Do not over-mix!) Stir in walnuts, raisins or cranberries if using.
- Coat each muffin cup in your muffin pan with a little butter or vegetable oil spray. Use a spoon to distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups, filling the cups up completely.
- Bake on the middle rack until muffins are golden brown, and the top of the muffins bounce back when you press on them, about 20 to 25 minutes. Test with a long toothpick or a thin bamboo skewer to make sure the center of the muffins are done.
- Set on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the tin let cool another 20 minutes.

Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- I make the dough in a bread machine.
- Once all of the flour is incorporated in the bread machine I add 2 tablespoons of softened organic unsalted butter and let that mix in and let the dough knead, but take it out before it rises.
- I put the dough into an oiled bowl and flip it oiled side up.
- Cover with a piece of wax paper and then foil lightly enough so it can breathe.
- Let it rise in the refrigerator overnight which improves the texture dramatically.
- Then I bring it to room temperature, dump it out of the bowl onto a very lightly floured board, press it down gently to remove bubbles, then form it into a loaf by rolling it onto itself, pinching as I go.
- I place it in a greased 11 ¾ by 4 ½ inch loaf pan.
- Cover with a damp towel, let rise until 1 ¼” above the top of the pan, and bake at 375 degrees in a preheated oven until internal temp reaches 190 degrees, about 40 minutes at our high altitude.
- Amazing bread!

Remember when bread machines were very expensive and then most folks who purchased one or received one as a gift tried it a couple of times and got rid of it? Well, you can find most of those great machines at your local thrift store for $5–10. Now that’s a bargain, and what the heck if you only use it a couple of times and take it back for the next person. I love my bread machine! It’s simple and easy for making sure I’ve always got fresh sprouted bread in the house

Instructions
- Mix poolish the night before (it rises for 12-14 hours in 70 degree room). Cover well with plastic wrap.
- Mix dough (using glass, ceramic, or stainless bowl) . Weigh out water separately Weigh flour, measure yeast and mix into flour Add poolish and most of water; rest of water depends on dough stickiness. (lean toward sticky). Blend ingredients enough to get all of flour incorporated.
- Let dough sit for 30 minutes (this is called autoleasing). Cover dough with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Remove dough from bowl onto floured counter or kneading board. Pat down to pop bubbles. Sprinkle salt onto dough.
- Knead dough until strong but flexible (Windowpane test is a good indicator. See baking tips for this month). This will take 12–15 minutes by hand.
- Oil your cleaned bowl and place dough (turn to coat both sides) into it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until poofy (about 1 hour for 75 degree dough).
- (Optional step) Place dough on kneading board and punch down . Fold 4 times (don’t knead) and place back in bowl for 2nd rise (about 1–1 ½ hours).
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. For best baking results let oven preheat for 1 hour, especially if you've placed a baking stone (pizza stone) in oven.
- (Optional step) Divide dough in half and pre-shape into baguettes. Cover and let them rest until relaxed (about 15–20 minutes).
- Shape dough (final tightening of dough into baguette shape).
- Place baguettes onto parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and rise somewhere warm until full of gas (about 45 mintues).
- Score (cut) the dough and steam it by wetting the surface (I use a spray bottle of water).
- Quickly put dough into oven and turn temperature to 460 degrees.
- Bake 20-25 minutes. DO NOT open oven door for first 15 minutes.
- At 20 minutes test for doneness by inserting a thermometer into center of bread. Should read 190 – 206 degrees.
- Remove bread from oven. Immediately transfer to a cooling rack and let cool before slicing

- 10g (2tsp) honey
Servings:
Units:
Instructions
Yeast Starter
- Place the 100g of flour, oil, water, and honey in a bowl.
- Mix well and knead, adding a little more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Let rest at least 2 days near a radiator.
- Add the remaining 50g of flour and knead again; let rest another 2 days. Your starter is ready to use.
Homemade Yeast
- Make a thin batter of flour and lukewarm water.
- Let it stand in a warm place until it ferments and is full of bubbles. 2 cups of this liquid yeast is equal to 1 cup of old yeast.
- Yeast is good when it is foamy and full of beads, has a brisk pungent odor and has a snap and vim1. It is bad when it has an acid odor, is watery and has a tin film on top.
Recipe Notes
- vim: lively or energetic spirit; enthusiasm; vitality.

Instructions
- Combine flour, 1 cup buttermilk and butter in a food processor until a ball forms. If dough is too thick, add more buttermilk, but it should be thick enough to form a ball. Place in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 12-24 hours.
- Combine water, yeast and honey in a small bowl and leave for 5 minutes or until it bubbles. Add salt and baking soda and mix well. Place half the flour mixture, half the yeast mixture and ½ cup unbleached white flour in a food processor. Process until a smooth ball forms. Repeat with the other half of dough, yeast mixture and white flour.
- Knead the two balls together briefly and place in a buttered bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise 2 hours, until doubled in bulk.
- Punch down, cut the dough in half and process each half in a food processor for30 seconds each.
- Form into loaves and place in buttered loaf pans (preferably stoneware). Cover with a towel and let rise 1-2 hours, until doubled.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Cool on racks.
Recipe Notes
This is a good compromise bread that can be sliced and used for sandwiches.
Yeast is used, but the flour is soaked in buttermilk first.

Instructions
- Mix poolish the night before (it rises for 12-14 hours in 70 degree room). Cover well with plastic wrap.
- Mix dough (using glass, ceramic, or stainless bowl). 1. Weigh out water separately Weigh flour, measure yeast and mix into flour Add poolish and most of water; rest of water depends on dough stickiness. (lean toward sticky). Blend ingredients enough to get all of flour incorporated.
- Let dough sit for 30 minutes (this is called autoleasing). Cover dough with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Remove dough from bowl onto floured counter or kneading board. Pat down to pop bubbles. Sprinkle salt onto dough.
- Knead dough until strong but flexible(Windowpane test is a good indicator. See baking tips for this month). This will take 12–15 minutes by hand.
- Oil your cleaned bowl and place dough (turn to coat both sides) into it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until poofy (about 1 hour for 75 degree dough).
- (Optional step) Place dough on kneading board and punch down . Fold 4 times (don’t knead) and place back in bowl for 2nd rise (about 1–1 ½ hours).
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. For best baking results let oven preheat for 1 hour, especially if you’ve placed a baking stone (pizza stone) in oven.
- (Optional step) Divide dough in half and pre-shape into baguettes. Cover and let them rest until relaxed (about 15–20 minutes).
- Shape dough (final tightening of dough into baguette shape).
- Place baguettes onto parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and rise somewhere warm until full of gas (about 45 mintues).
- Score (cut) the dough and steam it by wetting the surface (I use a spray bottle of water).
- Quickly put dough into oven and turn temperature to 460 degrees.
- Bake 20-25 minutes. DO NOT open oven door for first 15 minutes.
- At 20 minutes test for doneness by inserting a thermometer into center of bread. Should read 190 – 206 degrees.
- Remove bread from oven. Immediately transfer to a cooling rack and let cool before slicing.
