Ingredients

1. 3 cloves garlic, minced
2. 1/3 cup olive oil
3. 1/4 cup tomato sauce
4. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
5. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
6. 1/2 lemon juice from lemon
7. 1/2 teaspoon salt
8. 1 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
9. skewers

Cook over medium heat until shrimp is cooked

1. 6 1/2 cups honey
2. 12 cups bread flour

Directions:

Bring honey to a boil over medium heat. Immediately remove when it starts boiling. Pour into a large mixing bowl–slowly add the bread flour using a bread hook on a mixer for 10-15 minutes.

Allow the dough to cool. Wrap in plasitc wrap and set aside overnight at room temperature.

Spice Dough

1. 1 1/2 ounces powdered baker’s ammonia (ammonium carbonate)
2. 1 cup water
3. 4 eggs
4. 2 cups light corn syrup
5. 8 cups all purpose flour, sifted
6. 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
7. 3 1/2 tablespoons ground nutmeg
8. 4 tablespoons ground cloves
9. 4 tablespoons ground ginger
10. 12 ounce package of chocolate candy melts, melted

For Spice Dough

Dissolve baker’s ammonia in the water in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and corn syrup and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture using the bread hook on an electric mixer just until flour is incorporated. The dough will become very stiff, do not over mix.

Cut the honey dough into 3 portions and add into the spice dough one portion at a time, blending well. Knead the mixture by hand in a fold-and-press motion on a lightly floured work surface. (This is time consuming, but important so that the pieces cook evenly.)

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Divide into 4 equal portions. Lightly flour work surface, work with 1 portion at a time. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until about 1/4 thick. While rolling, flour the work surface and rolling pin as needed.

Cut pieces as desired and then place them on a greased baking sheet placing one inch apart. Lightly brush the dough with milk.

Description: Yummy french toast that’s fluffy with a hint of vanilla and brown sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 small loaf of french bread
• 2 eggs
• milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baker’s secret

Description:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 to 3 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp crisco
• 1 small tube of red icing, with a small round tip
• bag of Reese’s pieces

Directions:

Using a large bowl beat together the butter and peanut butter. Once that is smooth and creamy, beat in powder sugar and shape the mixture into balls, about 1 inch.

Place balls on a cookie sheet that has been covered in wax paper and freeze cookies for about an hour.

Place white chocolate chips in a sauce pan on medium heat. Melt the chocolate while stirring continually until smooth.

Remove the rolled up peanut butter balls from the freezer. Use a tooth pick to dip them into white chocolate and let the excess drip off. Set back on cookie sheet. Place one Reese’s piece in the center of each eyeball to form a pupil.

Set the cookie sheet back in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to give the chocolate a chance to cool and then use the red frosting in the tube to make blood shot eye effects on each cookie. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
