[AlternativeAnswers] Recipes: Lavender Herb Bread

 

Good Morning!


Recipes: Lavender Herb Bread

1 package of active dry yeast 
2 Tablespoon sweet butter 
1 Teaspoon Dried lavender buds 
1 Tablespoon Fresh lemon thyme 
1/2 Tablespoon fresh basil; finely chopped 
1/4 Teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 cup warm water 
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese 
1/4 cup honey 
2 eggs 
2 1/2 cup Unbleached flour 
softened sweet butter (for top)

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. In a larger bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, honey, butter, herbs, baking soda and eggs. Stir in the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour to form a stiff dough, beating well after each addition. Cover and let rise about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk. Stir the dough down with a spoon. Place in a well-greased 1 1/2 or 2 qt. casserole or ten 4" individual pie tins. Let rise 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 350 F. for one hour for a large loaf, 20 to 30 minutes for small loaves. When done, turn onto a rack, brush top(s) with soft butter, and let cool.

Makes 1 large round loaf or 10 individual dinner rolls.

Notes
A 560-Mile Wondrous Winter Walk on The Camino de Santiago Friday, May 15 * 7 – 9 pm With Kathy Wolfskill $15 General Public/$10 Caritas Members at The Caritas Spiritist Center 5723 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, CO 80303 They say you don't decide to do the Camino pilgrimage, it calls you. And call, it did. The Camino de Santiago is a route across northern Spain that has attracted pilgrims for over a thousand years. Historically, Christian pilgrims walked the Camino seeking a plenary indulgence upon reaching the tomb of St. James the Apostle at the cathedral in Santiago. Beginning in St. Jean Pied de Port in France, the Camino Frances is the most popular, and best supported, Camino route on the holy "Way." Pilgrims today walk for many reasons, but all gain a wealth of personal growth and understanding. The Camino has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in recent years, due in part to the popular 2010 movie, "The Way." Learn about one woman's inner and outer journey over the three segments of the Camino. The first part focuses on the body, where one becomes used to arduous distance walking in a foreign land; the second long, flat segment challenges the mind; and the final stretch turns the focus inward to Spirit. Come enjoy this slideshow adventure, while Kathy shares her joys, challenges, guidance, friendships, and revelations from this beautiful, life-changing experience. Kathy Wolfskill first heard about the Camino in the Spring of 2013, just as she was leaving for Brazil to see John of God. Though the Camino would have to wait, she was inexplicably drawn to the pilgrimage. She began researching gear and clothing, stepped up her hiking, and read dozens of accounts of others' Caminos. After much initial resistance to amazing astrologer Anand Vadehra's insistence that the winter of 2014-2015 was her perfect time to go, she now couldn't agree more that winter was perfect for her incredible journey.
