Pawpaw's Bread

My dad discovered Jim Lahey's No Knead Bread recipe a few years before he died and blew my Nonna's mind with it. She always swore you could never make real Italian bread in America because the water wasn't filtered through volcanic ash. But when she saw and tasted this bread she said, "I'll be damned!"
This is my own version of Jim Lahey's slightly smaller recipe which we lovingly refer to as Pawpaw's bread in memory of my dad.

Fried Bread Fried Bread
This is a recipe for fried bread that is used to make Indian Tacos. This is a yeast version. I revised a recipe that my mother-in-law gave me into easy to make measurements.-The moisture of the dough may vary depending on the type of flour used and the humidity, so adjust accordingly.-The dough should be just a little bit softer than your earlobe.-I used the rapid rise type of yeast that can be used instantly after mixed with the flour.

Pork Fat Bread Pork Fat Bread
In the cold of winter you need extra fat as you burn calories. So I have heard of people just chewing on fat to survive. During just regular normal days you have to have 20% of your daily diet with fat. In Germany they put a good thick layer of rendered pork fat on bread called schmalz. In the Ukraine it's called Salo. In Poland its called Smalec. Many different countries put in different spices herbs and even bacon, cracklings, pork bits all in the spread. When I say thick layer, I saying thicker then cream cheese on a bagel. Well here is a little bit toned down, some, version. skunkmonkey101 -

Sweet Potato Bread Sweet Potato Bread
This is my favorite bread that I've been making for many years.The dough is soft. Use 190 ml water and dust your workspace with a little flour if it's difficult to handle. Pinch the seam tightly after filling the dough with the paste. If the paste is soft, it may leak out. Add in as much as you like (the photo shows 25 g x 14 = 350 g).
