So I am finally delivering on the recipes I mentioned last week. They are both SO good and so perfect for this time of year. Beef stew (Eat Yourself Skinny) in the slow cooker is unbelievably easy. It left me with plenty of time to make the Amish bread (Daydream Kitchen) from scratch. 🙂

Beef Stew
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs cubed stew beef
1 (15 oz) can fire roasted tomatoes
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
3 1/2 cans of water using tomato paste can
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion, diced
3 large carrots, chopped
1 (10 oz) bag frozen peas
2 russet potatoes, cubed
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 bay leaf
Directions:
Put all ingredients in slow cooker. Mix together. Cook on low 8-10 hours.

Amish Bread
Ingredients:
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup hot water
1 tbsp yeast
2 1/2 cups flour (possibly more depending on sticky-ness of dough)
1 egg white + 1 tbsp water
kosher salt
rosemary
Directions:
1. Put all sugar, melted butter, salt, hot water, and yeast into the mixer (I used my trusty KitchenAid) and let sit for a few minutes or until yeast bubbles. Add the flour in small batches and mix with a dough hook until all incorporated. Remove and place in a bowl that has been greased and let dough rise until double in size (about an hour).
2. Punch down and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cut decorative slits on top. Let dough rise again (about 30 minutes). Rub an egg white wash (1 egg white + 1 tbsp water) over the top and sprinkle with kosher salt and rosemary. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

My girls RAVED about the Amish bread. I made two loaves and they demolished them. One girl asked if I could make it every week from now on, haha! 🙂 Just looking at these photos makes me hungry for both of these all over again. I don’t like the cold weather, but I do love the warm comfort foods that tend to come with this season. 🙂
