Supply chain disruptions, devaluation of the dollar, rising costs...it's all getting worse and not better. You can't count on items to be stocked on shelves and you need to make due with less. It is a sad fact of life these days. However, Ken offers up a solution to harvest wild #yeast in order to make #cheap, #easy, and #tasty #potato #rolls. It is great for any #familybudget. Naturally, if you don't want to harvest #wildyeast, you are more than free to use regular bread yeast (2 teaspoons should be enough). KEN'S WILD YEAST POTATO ROLLS 2 c. Cooked Potato, Mashed (Unseasoned, Unsalted) 2 c. Potato Cooking Water (Unseasoned, Unsalted) 1/2 c. plus 1 tbsp. Sugar 2 tbsp. Dry Milk Powder 1 Egg 1 1/2 stick (3/4 c.) Salted Butter, Melted 1 tbsp. @McCormickVideos Sea Salt 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 c. All-Purpose Flour 1/4 c. Whole Milk The day before you plan to make the rolls, boil raw potatoes in plain water until fork tender. Mash up the potatoes and refrigerate. Let the water cool. Take two cups of potato water and add a tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix the potato water and sugar well to incorporate as much air as possible. Cover the container with cheesecloth or a clean tea towel, and let the potato water sit for a minimum of 12 hours. When the water smells "yeasty" it is ready to use. Remove 1/2 cup of the wild yeast starter for this recipe. The remainder can be poured into ice cube trays, frozen, and the cubes placed in a zip-top freezer bag to store in a freezer for up to a year for later use. (NOTE: If you do not want to harvest wild yeast, you can simply use 2 teaspoons of active dry bread yeast.) In a large mixing bowl, add in the mashed potato, the wild yeast starter, the dry milk, the egg, salt, and a stick (1/2 cup) of melted butter. Mix well. Add in flour and knead for a minimum of 10 minutes, adding flour as is needed, until you have a moist, sticky dough that cleanly removes itself from the hands. (NOTE: Unlike most bread doughs, this dough will never be very elastic.) Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let proof in a cold oven or proofing drawer until the dough doubles in size. When the dough has doubled in size, line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Punch down the dough, separate into equal portions somewhere in size between a golf ball and a baseball, and form the portions into ball shapes. Place close to each other, but not touching, on the sheet tray. Brush whole milk on top of the rolls and place them in a cold oven or proofing drawer to double in size. When ready, remove from the oven or proofing drawer and preheat an oven to 380°F. Place the rolls into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and brush with a 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) melted butter before serving. These rolls are great for stews, soups, roasts, etc. to sop up liquids. (NOTE: If you want to make them in advance, you can freeze the uncooked, unproofed, un-milk-basted rolls on a sheet tray before placing the frozen rolls in a zip-top freezer bag for freezer storage. These frozen, uncooked rolls will last up to three months in an air-tight freezer bag. To use, thaw them out, bast the top with milk, let them double in size, and bake as instructed. The wild yeast can tolerate freezing.) Are you #diabetic? If so, this ebook offers easy recipes that are delicious and bound to help your #diabetes under control.

A #dewberry is a relative of the #strawberry, #blackberry, and #raspberry. It is often confused with a blackberry even though it is usually much larger, sweeter, and blooms months earlier. Dewberries grow on vines and not canes like blackberries and raspberries. They are native to #Florida and Ken's hometown was once named "Scratch Ankle" due to the fact they grew along the river banks and fields where your feet would get scratched up by the thorny vines. There is even a Scratch Ankle Festival in the City of Milton with a parade and various booths. Dewberries make excellent cobblers and wines. #Milton #ScratchAnkle #SquareFootSuperBloom ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXkTIWNoTXs
