Bacon Rosemary Gourgere

By Chuck Wiley, Executive Chef, Hearth ’61, Mountain Shadows Resort

Bacon Rosemary Gourgeres
Yield:  About 5-1/2 dozen gougères

1 cup     Water
4 oz.      Butter
1/2 tsp   Kosher salt
Pinch     Cayenne pepper
1 cup     All-purpose flour
6 each   Eggs
1 cup     Manchego cheese, shredded (substitute gruyere or other semi-hard cheese)
3 slices  Bacon, cooked and chopped fine (about three ounces)
1 tsp      Rosemary, finely chopped
¼ cup    Parmegiano-Reggiano, grated

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan combine the water, butter, salt and cayenne; bring to a boil. Lower the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook this mixture over low heat three or four minutes until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.

2. Remove from the heat and transfer to an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Mix on low speed until batter cools slightly (so the eggs don’t cook). Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until the egg is fully incorporated before adding another. Do not over mix. When eggs are incorporated, add the cheese and continue to beat until it is mostly melted in the batter. Add the bacon and rosemary.

3. Transfer to a piping bag and on two 13” x 18” baking sheets lined with parchment or Silpats, pipe into balls, about 2 tsp. each. Leave an inch or so between them to allow for expanding. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.

4. Bake about 25-35 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately while still warm.

New York Style No-Wheat Pizza Crust

From the Wheat Belly Food Blog

Pizza crust . . . you can hold in your hands!

By Dr. Davis | January 16, 2012

Here’s a recipe for pizza crust that you can actually hold in your hands.

That’s what we lose when we eliminate wheat: the viscoelasticity of wheat gluten, the quality that provides wheat’s food portability. It allows you to stuff a pita full of ingredients, hold a sandwich between your hands, deliver a slice of pizza into your mouth.

This recipe yields a pizza crust sturdy enough to hold in your hands. As written, it will make a 12-inch round pizza crust.

Ingredients:
2 cups ground almonds
4 tablespoons garbanzo bean flour
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Dash of sea salt
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In food processor or food chopper, pulse or chop mozzarella cheese until becomes granular size.

In large bowl, mix ground almonds, garbanzo bean flour, mozzarrella cheese, flaxseed, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in eggs, olive oil, and water and mix thoroughly.

Spread large sheet of parchment paper over a cookie sheet. Place dough on parchment paper. Spread a second sheet of parchment paper on top of tough and flatten with rolling pin into desired shape and size. Feel around edges to gauge thickness.

Remove top layer of parchment paper carefully. Use spatula to form crust edge.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove and top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, chopped peppers, spinach, sliced sausage (uncured), etc. and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

No Wheat Focaccia

Wheat Belly Focaccia Bread

By Dr. Davis |

This recipe provides an unusually sturdy focaccia bread suitable for a variety of dishes. I used it to make a Reuben sandwich, for instance: a thick layer of corned beef topped with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing sandwiched between two pieces of this focaccia bread. Delicious!

Shape this focaccia dough into whatever shape suits your recipes. I usually make two focaccias, each approximately three inches wide by six inches long and 1/2-3/4 inches deep, to use as the two bread slices to sandwich ingredients between. However, this recipe yields such an incredibly filling bread that the two slices can easily be cut in half to yield two very satisfying sandwiches to serve two.

Spread focaccia bread with pesto or mustard, lay smoked turkey, corned beef, pastrami, or other meat in between, some cheese, and you have a delicious and filling sandwich.

Ingredients:
2 cups almond meal
1 cup shredded mozzarella or other cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt
1½ teaspoons dried rosemary
1½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup sundried tomatoes, finely sliced
2 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons extra-virgin oil

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In food chopper or food processor, pulse shredded cheese until reduced to small granule-sized consistency, similar to couscous.

In medium bowl, combine almond meal, cheese, sea salt, rosemary, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and sundried tomatoes and mix together. Set aside.

With electric mixer, whip egg whites until stiff. Blend in egg yolks and 2 tablespoons olive oil at low speed. Pour egg mixture into almond meal mixture and mix together.

Divide dough in two and form into desired shape by hand. Smooth edges with knife or spoon. (You may need to place your knife or spoon under hot running water to help mold the dough.)

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and take blunt handle of spoon or other small rounded instrument and make small depressions in the surface every inch or so. Brush surface with remaining olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt on top. Return to oven additional 15 minutes.

Wheat Belly Recipes – COLLECTION

I listened with interest to Dr. William Davis from Wheat Belly Blog about the need to eliminate wheat from my diet. While expect this to be difficult, it is a journey that I will now begin (January 26, 2018) and post my progress here.  USE THIS LINK to view all of my non-wheat recipes.

I used to wear medium clothes.  Over the past twenty years, I have gone from 135 pounds to 250 pounds – over 100 pounds.  Have you ever carried a 50 pound bag of anything?  I am carrying TWO of those at all times.  Now is the time to do or die.

This will be an interesting journey for Grandpa.

No-Wheat Classic Pizza

Classic Pizza
Yes, you can have pizza in a wheat- and grain-free lifestyle!

In previous versions of pizza recipes, we encountered difficulty in creating crusts sturdy enough to be held by hand. While we take every possible chance to bash grains, one thing they do have is gluten that confers the unique stretchy property of dough. We lost that quality when we reject all things wheat and grains.

So here we recreate sturdiness with a mixture of meals/flours with shredded cheese melted into the mixture. As you will learn, this creates a crust every bit as good but with none of the adverse health implications.
