The last November post

Now that we're really into late fall here, that is , it is gray and the days are short, we are thinking a lot about new interesting recipes. Liam and I discovered this recipe from Bon Appetit and it was a hit . I have also included a recipe for white sandwich bread.

Roasted Yam and Apple Salad
Combine:
3 pounds of peeled, cubed yams
2T oil
1T sesame oil
1T cumin seeds(I used ground cumin)
1t salt
Roast this at 375 until tender and lightly browned~ 45-60 minutes then cool
Combine with:
3 large Fuji/Gala apples cubed
2 c green grapes
1 c dried cranberries
1/2 c sliced almonds
Include juices from yams scraping the baking sheet.
Add vinaigrette:( and toss)
21/2 T apple cider vinegar
1T curry powder
21/2t honey
3/4t Dijon mustard
1/2 c oil

White Sandwich Bread
1c warm water
1 1/2c buttermilk(you can use milk instead, the buttermilk keeps it moist)
2T yeast
1/4c sugar
1/4c oil
1t salt
5-6 c flour
Dissolve yeast in water, add next 5 ingredients and 2 cups of flour and let proof for 15 minutes. Gradually add enough flour to make soft/firm dough. Knead about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Let rise until double. Punch down, form into 2 loaves(I roll out an oval and roll it up ,tucking the seam side down) and put in 2 8x4 1/2 greased pans , let rise until slightly above pan. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes until golden and hollow sounding when rapped.
