Tips for Successful Asparagus Roasting

(Affiliate links below)
Start by trimming the ends from your clean asparagus. You can trim your fresh asparagus stalks by snapping each stalk where the tender section starts or you can just cut it with a knife. Generally, I just cut because I like it to be nice and even looking. 

Cover a sheet pan with aluminum foil if you want a super easy cleanup. Spread your trimmed asparagus out in a single layer on the sheet pan.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Be generous with your salt and grind fresh black pepper over the asparagus. Then use your fingers to toss your asparagus around a little bit to make sure that it's all coated with the oil, salt, and pepper. 

Cook the asparagus in a hot oven. Put the sheet pan into your 425 degrees F preheated oven.  A hot oven brings out the roasted flavor in the asparagus.

Artisan Bread in Your Bread Machine

Donna Urso
Finally. Artisan Bread from Your Bread Machine Yes, Really. If you want to make artisan-style bread using your bread machine, the secret is simple: use the dough cycle, then bake the loaf in a preheated Dutch oven. This method gives you a crisp crust and chewy crumb without any hand kneading. If you use your bread machine regularly, you already know what it does well. It mixes, kneads, and handles the first rise beautifully. It is a dependable helper in the kitchen. What it does not do especially well is produce that deep golden, crackly crust we associate with artisan bread. The good news is you do not need to give up the ease of your bread machine to get that result. You simply need to change how the bread is baked. Today I’m showing you how to use your bread machine’s dough cycle and bake the loaf in a Dutch oven for a crusty, bakery-style result.
