My son Amos used to take them to school as a snack, and if any of his friends knew he had some they would disappear at lightning speed! They also make the best caesar salad on the planet. Here, they are pictured with mushroom ragout. YUM. Directions: Cut up your day old or on the dry side Samurai Bread into roughly 1” cubes. Using your hands, toss the bread cubes with enough olive oil and salt and pepper that each cube is lightly coated. For a whole loaf of bread you would need at least ¼ cup. Mince a few cloves or garlic and add them to the toss. A few pinches of garlic salt would be good too. Either bake in a 350 degree oven, tossing frequently, or use a fry pan on medium heat and stir the croutons constantly. Either way get the bread cubes nice and brown and crunchy! I usually end up adding a bit more olive oil as I cook them. Taste as you go! https://okanoskitchen.com/recipes-foccacia daily 0.75 2021-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7e48d59795e7339c8261e3/1617478798158-SNCUTLEM7WN5LZIW5ZOV/IMG_6023F92A9CC1-1.jpeg Recipes - Foccacia - Foccacia Directions: Grease a medium cookie sheet the same way you greased your Samurai Bread pan. After your bread has risen the first time, using wet fingers, gently spread out the dough as thin as you can on the cookie sheet trying to form a rectangle. Try not to rip the dough but don’t worry too much if you do and just patch it together so it forms a thin flat shape. Dip a pastry brush in olive oil and spread on a thin layer on the top of the bread. The next step is to get creative with your toppings! I like to sprinkle a bit of onion and or garlic powder and minced fresh rosemary. In this photo I also use a bit of Baharat, a blended Middle Eastern spice. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before putting it into the cold oven at 350 Degrees. After 30 minutes so the dough can hold its shape, use a utensil that can make small round holes like the end of a wooden spoon and make rows of holes in your bread about 1” apart. Brush on a bit more olive oil and return to the oven for anther 15-20 minutes until it’s nicely browned on the top and bottom when you lift it up with a spatula. Remove from the cookie sheet and cool on rack before slicing into squares. https://okanoskitchen.com/recipes-choc-samurai-bread daily 0.75 2021-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7e48d59795e7339c8261e3/1617479417500-R97ISJXTP0HRJ7HVKZ8X/IMG_4904+copy.jpg Recipes - Choc Chip Samurai - Chocolate Chip Samurai Bread Directions: After the dough for your Samurai Bread has risen the first time, gently fold in 1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips into the dough. Don’t over-mix! Lay out the sticky dough as always into the greased pans and let the dough rise as usual, for the second 10-15 minutes. Put the risen bread into your cold oven as you usually do for the regular version of Samurai Bread and turn the oven to bake at 350 degrees. Baking time will be about the same: 50-60 minutes. Remember that if you check the bread for slipping out of the pans and they seem to stick, leave them in a few more minutes so there is less moisture and they won't grab the pan as much. Definitely try a hot end piece with the melting chocolate! https://okanoskitchen.com/recipes-roasted-tomatoes daily 0.75 2021-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7e48d59795e7339c8261e3/1617655440756-9JMT6QG1VUIFPJW7TMSW/roasted+tomatoes+grape+IMG_6674.JPG Recipes - Roasted Tomatoes - Roasted Tomatoes Directions: After the dough for your Samurai Bread has risen the first time, gently fold in 1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips into the dough.
