We tried this for St. Patricks Day and it is going on our menu list for sure! It was super easy and incredibly tasty!
1 c skim milk
2 T distilled white vinegar
2 c all purpose flour ( I didn't try whole wheat - if I do, I will probably use the whole wheat pastry flour)
1 T white sugar
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
Stir together the milk and the vinegar and allow to sit for 10 minutes to curdle. Preheat oven to 400. Stir together flour, sugar, soda and salt. Gradually stir the curdled milk into the dry mixture until the dough just comes together. Pour onto a well floured surface and knead a few times (this is a very different experience - it is like kneading air!).
Shape into a round loaf, cut an x shape on the top of the loaf. Bake at 400 for 25 - 30 minutes. I started checking it at 20 minutes. It will be golden brown when it is done.
Makes 1 loaf (about 10 slices)

Quick and Easy Pumpkin Muffins
2 cake mixes ( I like to mix and match with the following flavors - butter pecan, carrot, and spice)
1 big can (or 4 c) Pumpkin puree
1 - 2 cups of chips (I've used mini choc chips, semi sweet chips, milk chocolate, butterscotch, cinnamon and white chocolate - I like to combine them - I love the butterscotch with the pumpkin)
1 c dried fruit (opt) - dried cranberries would be my choice
Mix the cake mixes and pumpkin together and stir in the chips and fruit if desired. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the top springs back when you touch it. You can also use the recipe for cookies - just bake them for - 10 minutes.
This is a great low fat and cholesterol free recipe. It makes about 36 muffins.

Sunflower and Flax Seed Bread
I was terrified to try this. I had barely started making regular white bread and was so worried it wouldn't turn out. And I was very worried my family would hate it. But I worried for nothing! It was super easy, ultra yummy and GREAT!
1 1/3 c very warm water
3 T honey
1 t active dry yeast
Mix together in a small bowl to activate the yeast.
In your kitchen aid or bosch type mixer*, combine the following:
1 1/2 c white flour
1 1/3 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c ground flax seed meal (I found this in the health food area of Smiths and Walmart)
1 t salt
When yeast is all bubbly, slowly pour into dry ingredient mixture. Then pour in 2 T olive oil. Mix well with kneading hook for 7 minutes. Stir in 1/2 c raw sunflower seeds.
Pour onto floured counter and knead for one minute. Shape into a loaf and place in a sprayed loaf pan. Let rise until double. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. I sprayed it lightly with cooking spray as soon as it came out of the oven to keep the crust soft. Makes one loaf. If you thinly slice it, it should make 15 slices.
*If you don't have a bosch or kitchenaid mixer, you will need to knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes. Mix in as much flour as you can to the liquid ingredients with a hand mixer then knead the rest in my hand.
