Angelica is an herb, the stalks and roots are candied similar to crystalized ginger. The British use it quite a bit in their puddings, etc. Look for it at a good health food store or a market/deli that specializes in British or European food supplies. I've grown my own but haven't tried to candy it yet! If I run across a specific source, I'll try to remember to let you know, if someone else out in *P*land is unable to give you one. There is a substitution that can be used, however I will have to search it out in my recipes.

Here's my recipe for "Catskill Mountain Jalapeno French" bread.... I have a one-pound bread machine (MK Seiko "Mr. Loaf" --- model HB-10), so the recipe makes a small loaf of bread. My husband loves this bread....definitely spicy, and great when toasted. Try jalapeno cheese grilled on this bread. Donna Celeiro's "Catskill Mountain Jalapeno French" bread 7 ounces water 1 Tbsp butter/oleo 1/2 cup jalapeno cheese, shredded 1/4 cup jalapeno peppers, chopped 2 1/4 cups bread flour 2 tsp salt 2 tsp sugar 2-3 Tbsp sesame seeds 2 tsp Red Star active dry yeast I use the "French" mode, which makes a very crusty bread. If you prefer, use standard or white bread mode. Enjoy!!

Just to make sure we're using the same recipe, here's the one I'm using... SOURDOUGH STARTER ----------------- 3/4 cup GRANULATED SUGAR 3 TBS INSTANT POTATO FLAKES 1 cup WATER (110-degrees) 1 pkg ACTIVE DRY YEAST (not Rapid Rising) Mix ingredients together in a jar; cover with cheesecloth or with a lid in which you have punched holes (you want the air-borne yeast to get in but NOT the flies!) . Leave out overnight. Place in refrigerator for 4 days. Remove from refrigerator and add first 3 ingredients (sugar, potato flakes and water) again. Leave out overnight again. The next day the starter may be used for baking. Thereafter, feed starter once a week with the first three ingredients (sugar, potato flakes and water). After feeding, leave out overnight. If not used for baking the next day, throw away 1 cup or give it to a friend. If your starter hasn't changed color (turned pink), adding all the ingredients (sugar, potato flakes, water and yeast) again should re-activate it without losing too much if you've not left it dormant for too long (at least I hope not). Good luck!

Hi Joni, Sure, I'd be happy to post the bread recipe that goes with this starter. You can keep the starter as long as you feed it...some starters are hundreds, even thousands of years old! Page-down \/ SOURDOUGH BREAD (Makes 3 small loaves) ---------------------- 6 cups BREAD FLOUR (approximately) 1/3 cup GRANULATED SUGAR 1/2 cup CORN OIL 1 tsp SALT 1-1/2 cups WATER (110-degrees) 1 cup STARTER, room temperature In a LARGE bowl, sprinkle sugar and salt over flour; mix. Add the oil, water and starter; mix until everything is well combined and makes a ball. Knead for a few minutes, adding more flour if dough is super sticky (the dough should be very soft but not overly sticky). Place dough into a LARGE, well greased bowl, turning to coat the top. Cover with plastic wrap (I use a tea towel) and let stand overnight in a warm spot. The next day, knead 8-10 times. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions and place into standard size loaf pans (DO NOT use large loaf pans to make 2 loaves, it will not work) Let loaves stand for 4 to 5 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped with your finger. Cool loaves before removing from pans. This dough is very light, you can remove it before they're cool but they could change shape on you. It's also very hard to cut the loaves when they're warm because the dough is so light and airy. The crust is soft on these loaves, not hard and crusty as with most sourdough breads. PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 12/10/92 3:48 PM This bread is wonderful! It'll stay fresh without drying out or getting moldy on you. I've kept loaves for over a week and they were as fresh as the day I baked them. Don't be afraid to make 3 loaves at a time, it won't go bad.

Slash tops of each round loaf with 3 horizontal slashes and 3 vertical slashes in a tic-tac-toe design. Use a SHARP razor blade or knife. Brush loaves with cold water. Bake 15 minutes.

Bake loaves 10-15 minutes longer, for a total of 35 to 40 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from pans; place loaves directly onto the oven rack (I don't do that, I just take them out at this point --works fine). Bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on racks. Makes 2 round loaves or 4 oblong loaves. If you want to make rolls with this, I'd suggest making them the shape you want and follow the directions up to the point of baking. Bake the rolls at 425-degrees PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 12/10/92 4:11 PM for about 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350- degrees and continue baking until the rolls sound hollow.

There are several ways to make these one is to cut into 12 to 15 equal pieces then roll each into a rope about 6 to 8 inches long tie in a knot and pinch ends together and place pinched end side down in a lightly greased pan. Let rise till doubled about 45 minutes. The other way is to cut up 36 equal pieces and roll into balls then place three balls into a muffin tin. Let rise as previously stated. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 13 to 15 minutes till tops are a golden brown. For the sticky part after removal of rolls from oven brush on a mixture of melted butter about 1 TBL and 1 Tbl sugar heated in a sauce pan till sugar is slightly dissolved let mixture cool some and brush on rolls. These rolls are just as good without. They also reheat real well. If you would like to make brown and serve rolls bake rolls at 250 for 20 to 30 minutes. DO NOT BROWN. Let them cool completely before storing (DO NOT put on the glaze) tops of rolls will be slightly tacky will last 5 to 7 days in fridge and a month in freezer to bake brown and serve preheat oven to 350 bake 8 minutes. This dough also make excellent cinnamon rolls roll out dough into a rectangle about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick depend on how many and how big you want to make them.

Crusty Country Loaf 1 pkg active dry yeast 1 tsp sugar, 1 tblsp salt 1 3/4 cups warm water [110*] 5 cups bread flour dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup of the water and let proof. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl, add the yeast mixture and the rest of the water.Mix thoroughly, adding more water or flour if necessary. Turn out on a floured board and knead for 10-15 minutes until dough is soft, silky and elastic.[ I,of course,cheat and put it in my Kitchenaid mixer with a dough hook on #4 or so for about 10 minutes!!] Let rise until doubled in bulk, then punch down and knead a few times. Let rest for 5 minutes and form into a ball. Sprinkle the bottom of the Cloche dish with cornmeal and place the ball of dough in the center.>>>>>> Cover with the Cloche lid and let rise in a warm place until doubled. Preheat oven to 450*. Slash top of dough with a razor or very sharp knife and place Cloche in oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 400* and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes until bread is testing done. The lid of the Cloche should be removed for the last 5 or 10 minutes of baking . This makes it very crusty. For Catfish and you..Chuck Williams' variations on this theme [ which were actually his own to begin with, as they credit him for the recipe!] start bu increasing the water to 2 cups. He also uses all purpose flour.>>>>>>>>>> He preheats his oven to 475* and then reduces it to 400*. If you want to use sourdough I use 1 cup of sourdough starter and 1/2 tsp yeast. This makes a very large and very crusty loaf. Enjoy!!

I am copying it exactly from the book. Basic Yeasted Sourdough Whole Wheat Bread 1 cup sourdough starter 2 cups spring water 6 1/2 to 7 cups whole wheat bread flour 1/4 tsp active dry yeast 2 tsps sea salt 2 tblsps oil [corn, sesame, etc.] In a large bowl, stir together the starter and 1 3/4 cups water. Gradually stir in 2 to 2 1/2 cups flour to form a thick batter. Cover and set in a draft-free spot for 2 to 3 hours or until it has developed into a sponge. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup water and cool to lukewarm. Add the yeast and a teaspoon of flour, cover, and proof in a warm spot.>>> Add the proofed yeast to the sourdough sponge along with the salt and oil. Add flour, stirring well after each addition, until a dough forms. It will pull away from the sides and ball up in the center of the bowl.Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface,cover, and let rest about 10 minutes Knead the dough [ I use my Kitchenaid at @4 for @10 minutes]until smooth and elastic. Let rise until doubled. Knead again a few times to deflate it and let it rise until doubled again.Divide and shape loaves. Bake at 350* for about 50 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom and are brown. >>>>> She recommends using the cloche for an especially crisp crust. I often substitute olive oil for the oil, and have sometimes chopped herbs or olives into the dough. I prefer using unbleached white bread flour, myself, uou can even substitute 1 cup rye flour for one cup of flour.She recommends, for dough strength, always using wheat flour in the sponge and adding low-gluten flours after the sponge has developed. If you want to omit the sponge step, proof the yeast in 1/4 cup of the water and combine with the remaining water and starter, stir in the salt and oil,add flour to form a dough,then proceed with kneading and the rest.>>> I hope you like this..I pretty much quoted directly from the book, she has a whole chapter on sourdough baking with one of the most comprehensive lessons on feeding and storing your sourdough starter.
