Today's dinner: Cabbage Loaf
Mid Morning make the dough: 4 cups bread flour, 2 tsp salt, 1 packet of yeast, 2 Tbls Olive Oil, 1 1/2 cup warm water. Dissolve yeast in warm water till bubbly, add to dry mixture and mix until smooth dough is formed. Cover and let rise slowly throughout the day.
Evening: 1 small cabbage, 1 med onion, 2 carrots, 2 shallots, 2 stalks of celery ,5 cloves garlic - Diced
1 chub (1 lb) ground sirloin
Brown ground beef in 1 Tbls oil, add a couple dashes of Worcestershire, thyme, and black pepper. Drain & set aside.
Saute veg in 1 Tbls olive oil until soft and translucent (20-25 minutes) adding water as needed to prevent burning.
Add back ground beef, 2 Tbls Ketchup, 1 Tbls yellow mustard, 1 tsp beef bullion, dash celery seed, dash cayenne pepper. Let cool 20 minutes.
Punch down dough and divide in half. Oil a roasting pan with olive oil, and spread out 1/2 dough across bottom. Spread cabbage beef mixture on top. Add shredded cheese if desired (I like Parmesan and Monterey Jack). Stretch the other half of the dough mixture on top. Let rise 20-30 minutes until slightly risen. Dimple the surface with your fingers and drizzle olive oil on top (it should pool in the dimples). Back 375 for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
