Romertopf Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make.

Romertopf White Bread: The easiest loaf of bread you'll ever make! Clay pots or earthen-ware may be the oldest type of cookware ever found. In fact, they've been unearthed by archaeologists at historic sites all over the world! We know that these ancient civilizations put these clay pots in the glowing embers of fires, and used them to bake, roast, poach, and braise all sorts of meals. I admit that I'm new to clay pot cooking. My mother-in-law gave me a beautiful covered Romertopf roaster for Christmas and when I started learning about how to use it, all I could think about was bread .

Delaware Chicken and Slippery Dumplings

Chicken and Slippery Dumplings Dumplings. The word can be traced back to the 1600's in print, but was surely around long before that! While there are many different techniques for making dumplings, their purpose was obvious. They were invented solely to fill hungry bellies cheaply. The fact that they're still around is just a testimony to how tasty they are. In fact, every country in the world has some kind of dumpling as part of it's cuisine. From Afrikan Fufu to Scandinavian Klubb, these meals all consist of rolling or dropping some type of starchy dough into some boiling liquid. Click below to read more.
