Homemade Artisan Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon yeast (Active Dry Yeast)
• 1 1/2 to 2  cups room temperature water (start with 1 1/2 cups)

Directions

1. Mix the flour, salt, and yeast until combined.
2. Add in the water in a large bowl (start with 1 1/2 cups then add more until it isn’t dry, but you don’t want it too wet).
3. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and let sit for 8 to 24 hours (on the kitchen counter). Then degas, by stirring it once to get the air out.

5. Place bread dough in your baking pan and let it rise for an hour covered with a dish towel.
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes covered with tin foil, then 10 minutes uncovered until golden on top (best to “tent” the tin foil so it doesn’t stick to the baking bread).

Chickpea Blondies

Ingredients

• Cooking Spray
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup all natural almond butter or peanut butter
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave nectar (you can also use honey if you’re not vegan)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup of mix-ins (choc. chips, butter scotch chips, nuts, etc)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 8×8 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a food processor, add all ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth. Fold in 1/3 cup of mix-ins. Note: Batter will be thick.
3. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top. (The batter may stick to your spatula, so I like to spray my spatula with nonstick cooking spray first.) Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and edges are a tiny bit brown. The batter may look underdone, but you don’t want them to dry out!
4. Cool pan for 20 minutes on wire rack. Makes 16 blondies.

Notes

Adding an egg to the batter will make it more cake-like, but not vegan.You can use your favorite nut butter, just make sure it’s all natural. Feel free to add in other things according to your dietary needs like nuts, dried fruit, or other types of chocolate.
