- If dough is a little crumbly add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until dough holds together well.
- Let dough sit, covered, for about 2 hours.
- Uncover and separate dough into sixteen pieces. Form the pieces into small, slightly flattened balls.
- Place a floured (using sprouted corn flour) plastic bag (gallon-sized zip lock) on a bread board.
- Place a ball of dough on top, then top this with another floured plastic bag and roll the tortilla out with a rolling pin.
- You can also use a tortilla press in place of the rolling pin.
- Slowly remove the top plastic bag, flip the tortilla over into your hand and slowly remove the second plastic bag.
- Place a dry iron skillet on a burner set at medium heat. Place a tortilla on the skillet.
- Once you begin to see some bubbles appear, take a spatula and flip the tortilla over to cook on the other side.
- Once the second side is a little browned, remove it from the skillet and place on a plate.
- Repeat the process and simply stack your finished tortillas. Store in zip lock bag.
- I refrigerate mine if not using them all.

- Add liqueur and vanilla, beating just until blended. Gradually add flour to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended after each addition.
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating at low speed just until blended after each addition.
- Sprinkle almonds over the bottom of your prepared pan. Pour batter into pan over almonds.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 – 30 minutes (Oven temps vary. Mine tends toward 1 hour and 30 minutes for a successful toothpick test.
- I recommend you peep in on your cake at 1 hour and 15 minutes for first test.) or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- During last 10 minutes of baking prepare Amaretto Glaze.
- Remove cake from oven and gradually spoon or brush hot Amaretto Glaze over cake in pan.
- Use all of glaze, allowing it to soak into cake after each addition.
- Cool cake completely in pan on a wire rack. Invert cake onto large plate.
Amaretto Glaze
- Bring sugar, butter, Amaretto, and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often.
- Reduce heat to low and boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and use immediately.
Recipe Notes
Amaretto Glaze:
* Can substitute 3 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon almond extract and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for liqueur to make appropriate for children and non-imbibers, but gently warm mixture of ingredients over low heat instead of boiling, stirring constantly until well blended. The liqueur in the cake batter will have had all its alcohol dissipate in the baking process.

- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons warm water (105–110 degrees)

Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a small mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.
- Combine sour cream, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl; add the yeast mixture, mixing well.
- Gradually add flour and mix well.
- Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead about 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape into a ball; place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), for about 1 ½ hours or until doubled in bulk.
- Punch dough down and divide in half.
- Place each half in a buttered 9x5x3" loaf pan.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 35–40 minutes. NOTE: I like to preheat my oven to 450 degrees for 1 hour. Immediately upon placing dough pans in oven I turn it off and turn it back on at 375 degrees. Helps ensure a wonderfully chewy crust.
Recipe Notes
I preheat my oven at 400 degrees for one hour. Immediately upon placing loaves in oven I reset oven to 375 degrees.

- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 pinch yeast
Dough
- 2 1/2 cups sprouted wheat flour
- all poolish
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 tsp yeast
- 2 tsp salt
Servings:
Units:
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

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.
