Gaining Confidence While Cooking

Hello, my name is Alicia Crompton and you've arrived at my food and cooking blog. In this blog, you'll learn many new recipes for appetizers, main dishes, side dishes and desserts. I have always liked to cook, but I was always skeptical of trying new dishes. After I had surgery, I had to stay in bed for several weeks and to pass the time, I watched cooking shows on television. I learned so much information about cooking and meal preparation while watching the cooking shows. I made notes and wrote down the recipes that I wanted to try. After my bed rest was over, I couldn't wait to get into the kitchen to start cooking again. Trying new dishes actually helped grow my confidence and now I'm not afraid to cook anything. I hope this blog also helps you to become more adventurous while in the kitchen.

How To Make Healthy Four-Grain Kaiser Buns
Kaiser rolls are a classic choice for sandwiches and even for serving as dinner rolls with butter. However, many classic kaiser rolls are made with white flour, which is not the healthiest choice, particularly if you are diabetic or trying to control your carbohydrate intake. Kaiser buns made with four whole grains are a healthier and heartier choice. Here's how to make them at home. Ingredients: 1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup whole grain oat flour 1/2 cup barley flour 1/2 cup whole grain rye flour 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten 1 teaspoon honey 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt 1 large egg 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water 1 packet active, dry yeast milk sesame seeds To get started, combine the warm water, yeast, and all-purpose flour.
