I have been using this basic bread recipe for about 20 years and continue to experiment with different ingredients and techniques. My favorite is still using the basic ingredients, letting it cool overnight, and slicing it for toast the next morning. My neighbor’s like it also.

Ingredients:

• 4 to 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour *
• 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 to 2 teaspoons of granular yeast
• about 1 3/4 to 2 cups of warm water **

Posole notes: My husband and I developed a blend of my mother’s tomato-based posole (a hominy-meat soup) that she learned in Mexico and his sister’s red chili-based posole. Neither of those recipes was a written recipe but more a method. My posole is significantly distinct from the other two and is our own creation. I have never printed it before and have not had it copyrighted. I use a church cookbook recipe for the red sauce, but it may be copyrighted. (Use whatever red chili sauce or recipe you have available.) This is a two-day process.

Posole Ingredients

• 1 large pork shoulder roast (or any pork roast that has a bone in it).

Soup Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp each black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder
• ¼ tsp each cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, and salt
• 1 tsp each seasoned salt and lemon pepper seasoning salt

I literally spent years working on this recipe, taking notes, and making changes after every less-than-stellar effort. (And there were a lot of these!) There were the years I served a brick of dressing (too many eggs), and the year I served green dressing (too much sage).Then I decided I needed to learn to make it in the crockpot to reserve the oven for the turkey and other dishes, and that was a whole ‘nuther learning experience. You get the idea. 

But I finally came up with what we think (and our family and guests seem to agree) is a really good basic bread dressing that comes out of the crockpot perfectly every year, every time. If you like an old-fashioned traditional bread dressing, and consider making homemade a “labor of love” as I do, I think you’ll like it.

Ingredients

• About 16 oz. toasted/dried bread cubes (*see … Continue reading →
