Hello from Sunny Florida! (At least for the next 24 hours-ish)
We are busy preparing for Hurricane Irma! Yay… <– Sarcasm 🙂
It’s expected to be a category 2, and come right up the middle of Florida… right over us (Orlando). We are not panicking, but taking it seriously. Since, you know, Irma is bigger than the state of Florida at the moment….

So, we have NOT boarded up windows, or hoarded sand bags, but we have done the usual prep. We have plenty of water (for drinkin, bathin, and flushin), a generator to run our fridge and freezer, a grill with extra propane (for cookin), candles and flashlights, plenty of frozen chicken, frozen bread, emergency cash, evacuation bags, and tanks full of gas.
… that’s about it 🙂
I thought I’d share some of the bread maker recipes I’ve been cookin up the last few days. If you missed my hurricane prep video on Facebook, then you might not know that all stores are wiped clean (and have been for days) of water and bread. I love my bread maker because at times like this we don’t have to panic, I’ve got plenty of bread goodies made up to last us until electric and order is restored 🙂
Remember: these recipes are for a Bread Machine! And they are all freezer friendly!
Old Fashioned White Bread (2lb loaf)
1 1/2 cups + 2 tbsp Milk
2 tbsp Butter
4 cups Bread Flour
2 tbsp Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Bread Machine Yeast
Cinnamon Rolls
1 cup water
2 tbsp Butter
1 Egg
3 1/3 cup Bread Flour
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tsp Bread Machine Yeast
(This is a dough only!)
Filling:
1/3 cup Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tbsp Butter
Glaze:
Powdered Sugar
Milk
Vanilla Extract (optional)
Chopped Pecans (optional)
Roll out dough into a thin layer, spread butter and sugar mixture onto dough. Roll the dough into a log shape and cut into 1- 1 1/2 inch rolls. Place into greased pan and cover.
Allow the Rolls to rise for 30 minutes, then bake at 350* for 20 minutes. Top with glaze fresh out of the oven.
Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks
1 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp Yeast
1 tbsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
4 cups Flour (all purpose)
(This is a dough only!)
Roll out each piece of dough into a long rope then twist. Place dough twist onto prepared baking sheet and repeat with the rest of dough, placing side by side on baking sheet.
Cover and let rest 30 minutes to rise until doubled.
Preheat oven to 425° F. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden-brown. Remove from oven and rub a 1/2 stick of butter over the warm breadsticks. Sprinkle tops evenly with Garlic powder and Parmesan cheese!
So there it is! Basically, I made a whole bunch of each thing (still working on the breadsticks, so no pic, sorry) and stored it all in pans and ziplocs in the freezer until needed 🙂
