Here is the original OMG GOOD loaf.

I didn’t think it could get better. I WAS WRONG! This is near perfection! I wanted a strong Sourdough flavor – so I found a bunch of recipes and played around with things… And dang the result is magnificent. Now that I know what I am doing a bit more – I’ll do an updated video with my refined measurements next time…

I started with the same basic English Muffin Bread Loaf I made last time… I don’t have a Sourdough starter… I’ve managed to kill 2… I think, like cactus, I overloved them… 🤣

So I did some experimenting with Greek Yogurt and Apple Cider Vinegar and added Caraway and Black Cumin Seeds (lower in oxalates than normal Cumin seeds by quite a bit). I made 2 loaves – one in a normal loaf pan and the other I tried out my baby Dutch Oven.

I need to play with the Dutch Oven some but ya’ll….. YA’LL….. this bread is the BOMB 💣 I got 18 thick slices at 86/cal a slice with no artifical ingredients. Put it in the freezer… If you don’t, you WILL just eat it… 🤣

💉 If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.

🥢 MENMA (PICKLED BAMBOO) + SPROUTS

👩🏻‍🍳 MINI PREP 👩🏻‍🍳
https://izzycooking.com/menma

I really missed my pickled bamboo in my last Ramen Bowl so I am going to make some with the leftover bamboo and bean sprouts.

The recipe above does not have vinegar, which I added or chili oil, which I’m not adding anyway…I used the Umami Mushroom Seasoning as a replacement for the chicken bouillon called for and again the result was fantastic! Now I need to do a noodle bowl tomorrow!

▪️Bamboo Shoots
▪️Bean Sprouts
▪️Sesame Oil
▪️Tamari Soy Sauce*
▪️Mirin*
▪️Umami Mushroom Seasoning*
▪️Sugar
▪️Rice Vinegar

YES! Not spicy or overly sour but very tasty!

🐔 HOMEMADE CHICKEN BOUILLON POWDER v2

👩🏻‍🍳 MINI PREP 👩🏻‍🍳
💥 MUCH BETTER – REALLY GOOD 💥
Adapted from:
https://joyfilledeats.com/chicken-broth-substitute

[ In my opinion, the first version tasted nothing like Chicken Bouillon but I did find it good in the Italian Wedding and Broccoli Cheese soups I made. So I made more with some edits.

I increased the spices, omitted the pepper and used some of my Umami Mushroom Seasoning – BRILLIANT! ]

To make broth: 1tbsp powder + 8oz water

Combine and grind in a food processor, small blender or coffee/spice grinder.

▪️1c Nutritional Yeast
▪️¼c Onion Powder
▪️¼c Garlic Powder
▪️¼c Italian Seasoning
▪️¼c Umami Mushroom Seasoning (optional)
▪️3tbsp Tumeric (optional)

Makes approximately 2 cups (32tbsp)
Store in an airtight container for up to a year.

[To make broth: 1tbsp powder + 8oz water]

Combine and grind in a food processor, small blender or coffee/spice grinder.

*In my personal opinion, this tastes NOTHING remotely close to chicken bouillon – it isn’t bad at all but it just tastes like unsalted nutritional yeast to me. Maybe make a small batch and see if YOU like it.

One of the key differences is that most commercial bouillons or consommes start with salt and often contain MSG as well – very different flavor… Plus keep in mind my autoimmune issues have screwed up my taste buds… 🤣

▪️1c Nutritional Yeast
▪️2tbsp Onion Powder
▪️2tbsp Garlic Powder
▪️2tbsp Italian Seasoning
▪️1tbsp Sea Salt (optional)
▪️½tbsp Tumeric (optional)
▪️¼tbsp Pepper

Makes approximately 1 cup dry powder.
Store in an airtight container for up to a year.
