Meatballs

~Kay Harline

Make some small meatballs or just use small weiners in package and put in sauce pan or Slow Cooker. Then add one regular jar of Grape Jelly and about a quart of Chili Sauce. Heat them all together and serve with toothpicks.

For meatballs:

1 lb Hamburger

1/2 sleeve Soda Crackers, crushed

1 Egg

Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix and roll into small balls and fry in frying pan until done. (no more pink)

French Bread

~Rachel Godfrey

2 1/2 cups warm water, divided
1 T. yeast
2 T. sugar, divided
3 T. oil
1 T. salt
6 to 8 cups flour
1 egg, beaten

1 T. dough enhancer* (optional)
1 1/2 T. gluten* (optional)

Dissolve 1 T. of sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Sprinkle yeast over water and let it sit. In a large bowl, dissolve remaining 1 T. sugar, salt and oil in remaining 2 cups warm water. When yeast bubbles add 3 cups flour to water and oil mixture; mix, then add the yeast and remaining 3 cups of flour. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough - not sticky. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Make into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn dough over once; cover. Punch down every 15 minutes for 1 hour (4 times). Shape into loaves, slit top cross ways, brush with well beaten whole egg. Let rise for 20 to 30 minutes. Bake at 400* F for approximately 30 minutes.
Makes 1 large loaf or 2 medium loaves.

*Most of the time I don't add the dough enhancer or gluten, but I find that when I do, the dough is slightly easier to work with and the texture is a bit improved.
