Preheat oven to 500° the oven temperature is very important.

Mix 1 cups Flour, Gluten , Salt.Sugar and yeast.in a mixing bowl, then add the oil and water and mix dough 2 to 3 minutes. add the rest of flour 1/2 cup at a time. If the Dough is too moist you can add more flour. Knead dough for 3 minutes in mixer.

Place dough on a floured surface, then shape ino a circle and cut into 8 even pieces.
Shape dough pieces into balls(you can let the dough balls rest for about 15 minutes ) roll out the dough about 6 inches around and 1/2 inches is thick. The round is not as much important as the thickness.

If the dough is to thin it will not a puff. Don't worry if it does not puff you can use them for pizza or cut and make into pita chips.
Place the rolled out dough on a piece of tin foil and place the foil straight on the rack in the oven. There is no need to use a cookie sheet the dough will not puff as well on a cookie sheet.

In a large bowl dissolve baking soda with the 1 1/4 cup warm water. Add the powdered milk ,salt and one cup of the whole flour. Beat with a wire whisk until smooth. Beat in yeast mixture and remaining flour.

Spray top of bread with non-stick cooking spray a 2nd time just before baking .
Bake in a preheated 375 degree for 20 minutes.
Allow to cool for an hour before slicing.

Note Schlotsky’s toasts the bread and cheese them make the sandwich.

Snackin' Time

This is one of our family favorites when it comes to snacking. It is caremal popcorn with nuts in it. My husband likes to make it and it is super too. It is almost addictive.
This is a huge batch he made. We like to eat it warm and gooey, but he takes the "rest" and bakes it in the oven till it is dry and no longer sticky and it is somewhat like cracker jacks. It lasts longer that way.

Another home grown dinner

This is just another one of our "home" grown dinners. We had pork chops, fried potatoes with onions, breaded and fried zucchini and yellow squash and last fresh sliced tomatoes. It was quite delicious and all grow here at home!! With the garden producing more and more, we are able to eat from home quite a bit now as well as can and dehydrate tons of stuff for later too.

12 eggs in one sitting

yes, 12 eggs in one sitting, 12 quail eggs that is. We have a huge supply of these little babies right now, insted of having 1 or 2 chicken eggs fried for breakfast, you can have a dozen of these babies. I figure that it takes about 5 quail eggs to make 1 chicken egg.

more quail egg pictures. They are so cute.

Deviled Quail Eggs

Here you have it folks, Our DD, spend much time, boiling quail eggs, peeling them and then making these tiny deviled eggs for our dinner. They were so delicious and cute too. We were proud of her hard work. The best part, you can eat a half dozen of these babies and still not feel guilty.

Quail Dinner

We finally had a quail dinner! This is 7 quail, wrapped in bacon, along with several new potatoes, also wrapped in bacon, and a few squash, and peppers all in a wonderful 9x13 baking dish. I placed this in the oven for about 1 hour and we had a super supper all from one pot! By the way, it is so nice eating meals that you produced yourself...we raised the quail, bacon, potatoes, and squash for this meal!
