Baking With Natural Yeast - Breakfast Sausage Gravy AND a Basic Loaf




Substitute a basic loaf of natural yeast bread for traditional buttermilk biscuits...

:0)  I have a buttermilk biscuit recipe, but you'll have to marry into my family to get it.
(Along with a few other recipes worthy of their own food truck.)
A family favorite for breakfast (or dinner... I've yet to hear complaining if this shows up as a dinner) it is often a birthday breakfast request, or a Christmas morning request, or a Father's Day morning request.  Basically y'all will either like it or LOVE IT.  


Milk Gravy:
2 pounds breakfast sausage - COOKED - SET ASIDE with grease
NOTE: use (1) HOT (1) MILD

3/4 cup melted butter
1/4-1/3  cup GLUTEN-FREE or all-purpose flour
5 cups milk - hot/warm
1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons Kosher salt (taste before adding salt)
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper


Heat and melt butter in LARGE cooking pot. 

Add the flour you’ve decided to use and  and whisk into the butter slowly on LOW HEAT until smooth. 

Add the hot/warm milk 1 cup at a time and bring to a simmer. 

Keep the heat at a low simmer and stir, until thickened, about 5-8 minutes, adding milk as necessary to control the thickness. 

Season the gravy with salt and pepper. 


Serve hot over toasted Natural Yeast Bread and a pair of fried eggs.

TABLE of CONTENTS ...Did y’all know this blog is essentially a RECIPE BOOK???




Have you ever noticed?  No advertising...

I don't get any payment for posting through my blog since I don't allow advertising.

Essentially this blog is a RECIPE BOOK.

Mostly for my kids so they have instructions on how to make the food they ate throughout their childhood (with a sprinkling of my personality throughout).  :0)

BONUS for me:  It's become an incredibly slick way of sharing a recipe with friends; and I love having an arsenal of some of my regular recipes of what I cook ready for use wherever I travel.

Let's be honest here for a moment...
Since I don't get paid - I'm not going to pay to upgrade my platform.

I figured since we are more than 4 years in on this project, a Table of Contents was due.

Under each section are the shared recipes.  Just click on the blog title and you'll be taken straight there.

NOTE #1:  I am fully aware of posting some in more than one section...   Chocolate cake for BREAKFAST???  YES.

NOTE #2:  
To locate the newest recipes: click on the “Mama Jo’s” at the top of the page of any blog post when using a phone or iPad.  On a computer use the tool bar on the right to navigate through the posts listed by date.

GLUTEN-FREE Light-As-A-Feather Pancakes




GLUTEN-FREE  FLOUR  MIX:

3 cups Bob's Red Mill -  RICE FLOUR
1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill -  TAPIOCA FLOUR
3/4 cup Bob's Red Mill -  POTATO STARCH
1 heaping Tablespoon Bob's Red Mill -  XANTHAN GUM
1/2 Tablespoon sea salt 

Mix throughly - keep in an air tight container or fridge.
(Note: When using in a recipe as a wheat flour substitute - OMIT up to 1 teaspoon salt.)



GLUTEN-FREE  Light-As-A-Feather Pancake Mix

4 cups gluten free flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

8 eggs beaten
5-7 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup and 1 TABLESPOON vegetable oil


Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.

Mix all wet ingredients in a medium bowl with a whisk.  

Note for the buttermilk:  You may need all 7 cups but start with 5 and add 1/2 cup at a time until you have your desired consistency.

Add wet ingredients with the dry ingredients mixing thoroughly with the wooden spoon.  The batter will be lumpy, not smooth… so don’t be surprised!  

Grease your pan or skillet with Pam spray or butter.

Turn heat to medium and let your pan or skillet get hot before pouring on the pancake batter.

For each pancake pour about a 1/4 cup of batter, cook on medium heat until bubbly and the edges are slightly dry (about 2-3 minutes per side).

Serve with fresh berries or warmed syrup.



Add sliced bananas - fresh blueberries... it's up to you to find something!
this plain gluten-free pancake has endless possibilities
and varieties to add to your breakfast arsenal.

NOTE FOR BANANAS:
spray pan or skillet and additional time before flipping to cook the
banana side; this will caramelize bananas while cooking as pictured above. 

Just to be obnoxious and see if y'all are reading the
additional information in the posted  photos...
a 1/2 cup is shown instead of the noted 1/4 cup portion for measuring.
...I just fill it half full for pouring.   :0)




Turn heat to medium and let your pan or skillet get hot 
before pouring on the pancake batter.

For each pancake pour about a 1/4 cup of batter, 
cook on medium heat until bubbly and 
the edges are slightly dry (about 2-3 minutes per side).

This golden brown hue makes me happy every time.

Some of our family favorite toppings!






Something I started a few years ago...

This silly holiday is a highly anticipated event now.
Did you know Napoleon could be so cool???

The GREEN version is quite spectacular...
it should be noted that this batter is perfect for
"pancake art" because of the white rice flour, the
colors stay their true hue.
