No Mess Pizza Bread In A Bag Recipes

NO-MESS CINNAMON BREAD IN A BAG

Steps:

• For the dough: Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Add the sugar, yeast, 1 cup of the flour and 1 cup warm water to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Press down to remove excess air from the bag. Close the bag tightly and squish the ingredients in the bag until well mixed. Let the bag sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
• Add the butter, oil, salt and another cup of flour, close the bag and mix well. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and mix again until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the dough begins to pull away from the bag.
• For the topping: Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Pour the dough out of the bag onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough until it comes together and is not sticking to the board. Using your fingers, flatten out the dough into a circle about an inch in thickness. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top of the dough. Gently roll the dough (like a burrito) to make the shape of a loaf. Tuck the sides of the dough under to keep the cinnamon mixture inside. Place the dough seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan and cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rest and rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Once the dough has risen, remove the towel and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan.

DEEP-DISH SPAGHETTI PIZZA

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, then drain and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 10-inch springform pan or deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, mix the cooked spaghetti, Parmesan, milk, garlic powder, salt, eggs and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down into the pan. Pour on the pizza sauce. Add the preferred toppings and sprinkle with the remaining cup mozzarella. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.

SASSY NO-SAUCE NAAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven; preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Brush naans with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt and red pepper flakes. Place 3 to 4 slices of tomato on each naan and layer with prosciutto. Top with mozzarella slices and season with pepper.
• Place pizza on the preheated pizza stone. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS IN A BAG

Steps:

• Hydrate bread crumbs in a mixing bowl by pouring water (1/2 to 3/4 cup) over them.
• To cook en papillote (in the oven, enclosed in foil), use a large foil oven pouch, or make an oven pouch out of a 3 foot length of heavy duty foil by bringing the 2 ends to the center, folding the sides to seal, and leaving an opening at the center through which to place the sauce and meatballs. Shake flour in the pouch to coat the inside, and (for safety reasons) place in a roasting pan. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• To cook en papillote on the grill, follow the same procedure with the foil pouch and preheat grill to medium-high heat. (The foil pouch method is great for cooking and cleanup, but because the liquids inside will become very hot, use a roasting pan to support the weight of the pouch for safety reasons.)
• To the bowl of hydrated bread crumbs, add ground beef, onion, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. With an electric mixer, beat the meat mixture until fluffy. Heat oil in a large skillet to sear off meatballs. (In the episode, we seared the meatballs in a deep-fryer.) Form meat mixture into small meatballs, and sear them in the skillet or deep-fryer. Remove to paper toweling to drain briefly. Add butter, beef stock, sherry, cream and bay leaf to foil pouch (which you have placed into a roasting pan for safety reasons to support the weight of the "floppy" pouch). Transfer meatballs to the oven pouch and seal the pouch. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or grill for about 15 to 20 minutes. Use extra care in dealing with the hot liquids in the foil pouch or oven bag.
• Pour the sauce from the bag into a small saucepan. Remove bay leaf from sauce before serving. Whisk in Dijon mustard and honey mustard and heat for a few minutes to thicken, and serve with meatballs.

BREAD IN A BAG

Steps:

• In a large resealable freezer bag, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast and warm water. Squeeze most of the air out of the bag, and seal. Squish with your hands until the well blended. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature, or until bubbles appear.
• In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup of flour, dry milk, oil and salt. Pour into the resealable bag and squeeze out most of the air. Seal, and squish until well blended. Add the last cup of flour to the bag, and continue mixing in the same manner until well blended.
• Remove the dough from the bag, and place on a floured surface. Knead for 5 to 8 minutes. Form into a small loaf, and place in a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise for about 30 minutes, or until your finger leaves an impression when you poke the top of the loaf gently.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake the bread for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.
