ICE CREAM BREAD

Makes One 8 x 4 loaf

Ingredients:
2 Cups Ice Cream, any flavor, softened
1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Spray and flour a 8 x 4 loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl mix the ice cream and flour together until just combined.
3. Scoop into the loaf and smooth out.
4. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the loaf comes out with a few crumbs stuck to it.
5. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.

For best results..use full fat ice-cream!

The picture is an example of butter-pecan ice cream - I like the nuts being distributed in the bread mixture, however you can use any ice cream flavor you prefer. Always a fun experiment, and you can’t get simpler than this.

For those that are scratching their heads wondering how this could work - let’s consider that most ice cream is made of eggs and fat/dairy. Toss in some self-rising flour and you have some basic ingredients for a bake-capable product. Just choose the flavoring of ice cream that seems promising and have a fun weekend of experimentation.

Oh, one more thing - others asked about the self-rising flour (if they didn't have it, could they simply use regular flour).

You must - MUST have a rising agent in the flour. Self-rising flour is an easy solution (and commonly available). However, if you don’t have self-rising flour accessible, you can make it very simply:
For every cup of flour add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt (sift together).

There you go, now you have self-rising flour.

"Herman" Starter. Plus Bread

2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1/4 cup sugar
1 envelope of active dry yeast

Mix ingredients together in a glass or plastic container and let stand overnight in warm place, covered loosely. Refrigerate, covered and be sure to stir each day. "Herman" must be fed every day 5 to 7 days. This is what you feed him: 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar. You must bake bread every week or give 1 cup of starter away each week.

To Bake Bread:
In large bowl make batter of 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup corn oil, 1 TBSP salt, 1 cup starter, 1-1/2 cups warm water, 6 cups flour (makes 3 breads). Grease sides of bowl, let rise overnight, out of refrigerator, covered lightly. Divide dough into 3 parts and knead a few times on floured board. Put each loaf into greased loaf pan and brush with oil. Let rise 4-5 hours. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Cornbread

From Dad's Own Cookbook

10 TBSP (1-1/4 sticks) butter, plus extra for greasing the pan
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup sugar
4 TBSP baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2-1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 pan with butter.

Melt the butter in the microwave or a small saucepan. Use a whisk to combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, eggs, and the melted butter in a medium bowl. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and blend well with a wooden spoon until all the flour mixture is incorporated. The batter should be very moist but not runny. Use a rubber spatula to transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread the batter evenly over the whole pan. Bake the bread on the center rack of the oven until it is set (doesn't wiggle in the middle) and a toothpick comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Let the bread cool on a rack in the pan for 20 minutes before cutting into 20 squares.

Individual Monkey Breads

Ingredients:
2 (10 count) cans of buttermilk biscuits
2 C sugar
2 Tbsp cinnamon
2 sticks of butter
2 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 C brown sugar
Instructions:
Pre-heat your oven to 350 F
Cut each biscuit into quarters
Put 2 C sugar and 2 Tbsp cinnamon in a bag and mix, add the biscuit quarters and shake them until all the quarters are fully coated
Place 6 biscuit quarters in each muffin cup
Melt 2 sticks butter, 2 Tbsp vanilla and 1/2 C brown sugar over low-medium heat, until fully melted and the sugar has dissolved resulting in a gorgeous golden brown, dark caramel color (stir frequently)
Pour the butter mixture over the muffin cups until each is about 3/4 filled
Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for about 25 minutes
Remove from the oven and immediately turn over onto a platter so that all the ooey gooey caramelized vanilla butter sugary goodness tips out and covers the monkey bread bites
If you have some cute little ramekins or serving dishes, place a monkey bread cup into each one.

I saved the cinnamon and sugar mixture in a ziploc bag and used it for 3 batches of monkey bread!
