the button as soon

as the food is sliced

or shredded.

French-cut green beans:

For large berries, radishes

and mushrooms, trim the

bottom ends flat with a

knife. Insert the food

through the feed tube,

standing each piece on a

flat end. You can fill the tube

to about 1 inch (2.5cm) from

the top.

Trim fresh green beans to

feed tube widths. Stack in

the feed tube horizontally to

about one inch from the top.

Use the slicing disc, apply

light pressure to the pusher

and press the PULSE but-

WITH THE

The expiration date is

marked on the package.

To be sure your yeast is

active, dissolve it in a small

amount of warm liquid

(about 1/3 cup [75 ml] for

one package of dry yeast).

The temperature of liquid

used to dissolve and

activate yeast must be

between 105° and 115°F

(40°C and 46°C). Yeast

cells are not activated at

temperatures lower than

this and they die when

exposed to temperatures

higher than 130°F (54°C).

If the recipe includes a

sweetener like sugar or

honey, add a teaspoon with

the yeast. If no sweetener

is called for, add a pinch, or

add a pinch of flour. The

yeast won’t foam without it.

Let the mixture stand until it

foams, up to 10 minutes. If

it does not foam, discard

and begin again with fresh

yeast.

DOUGH BLADE

The Premier Series 7-Cup

Food Processor is

designed to mix and knead

dough in a fraction of the

time it takes to do it by

hand. You will get perfect

results every time if you fol-

Using the right blade

Use the dough blade when

the recipe calls for more

than 3-1/2 cups

(17-1/2 ounces) (875 ml)

of flour. Use the metal

recipe calls for less than

3-1/2 (875 ml) cups of flour.

There are two general

types of yeast dough.

Because the dough blade

does not extend to the out-

side rim of the work bowl,

it cannot pick up all the

made with a flour mix that

contains at least 50% white

flour. It is uniformly soft,

pliable and slightly sticky

when properly kneaded.

It always cleans the inside

of the work bowl complete-

ly when properly kneaded.

It’s best to weigh it. If you

don’t have a scale, or the

recipe does not specify

weight, measure by the stir,

scoop and sweep method.

Use a standard, graduated

dry measure, not a liquid

measuring cup.

Put the flour in the work

bowl with all the other dry

ingredients. If the recipe

calls for herbs, oil or solid

fats like butter, add them

with the flour. Turn the

In a 2-cup liquid measure, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy,

about 5 minutes.

Insert dough blade. Process flour, butter and salt until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds. Add

floured surface and punch down. Divide dough in half and roll each half into an 8 x 4-inch

rectangle. Beginning with a short end, roll up the dough jellyroll fashion. Pinch the seam and

ends tightly to seal. Place in prepared loaf pans and cover with plastic wrap coated with cook-

ing spray. Let rise until dough is just above the tops of the pans, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat oven to 400° F.

Sauces and Dressings

Basic Mayonnaise

(The American Egg Board recommends using the freshest eggs and then

heating them to kill salmonella bacteria. This recipe uses a procedure

suggested by cookbook author and food sleuth Shirley Corriher for heating

the eggs to sanitize them. The results are definitely worth the effort.

Proper refrigeration and storage is necessary.)

Makes 1 cup

large egg

1/4

teaspoon flour

large egg yolk

teaspoons dry mustard

teaspoon kosher salt

pinch of cayenne

1-1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon

juice

1/2

teaspoon wine vinegar

tablespoon water

teaspoon sugar

tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

cup vegetable oil

3/4

1/4

Insert the metal blade. Process the egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, wine vinegar, water, sugar and

flour until smooth, about 20 seconds. Transfer the egg mixture to a small (7 or 8-inch) non-

stick skillet, and heat over very low heat while gently stirring and scraping the bottom of the

pan with a spatula. When the mixture begins to thicken and resemble a custard sauce,

remove from the heat while still stirring and set in a pan of ice and water to stop mixture from

cooking. Stir until the egg mixture is cooled; let rest for 5 minutes. Wash the work bowl, metal

blade and lid in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Insert the metal blade. Process the cooled egg mixture with the dry mustard, kosher salt, and

cayenne until blended, about 1 minute. Scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add

the olive oil slowly, taking about 30 seconds to add the entire 2 tablespoons. Scrape the work

bowl. With the machine running, add the vegetable oil to the small pusher, one-quarter cup at

a time, and allow the oil to drip slowly into the emulsion. The mayonnaise will thicken as the

oil is added. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Remove to a container, cover, and

keep refrigerated. Keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated.

Preparation: 15 – 20 minutes

Pizza

Pesto, Cheese & Fresh Tomato Pizza

Homemade pesto and fresh, ripe tomatoes make this a great summertime pizza.

Makes one 14-inch pizza or two 9-inch pizzas, to serve 4

Pizza Dough, p. 27

1-1/2 ounces Italian fontina cheese, very

well chilled

1/2

pound firm but ripe plum tomatoes

tablespoons pesto, p. 30

ounce Reggiano Parmesan,

cut in 1/2-inch cubes

teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

ounces fresh mozzarella, very well

chilled

Cornmeal for dusting the peel or pan

Prepare the Pizza Dough and let rise. Position the top rack of the oven about 8 inches from

the top. If using a baking stone, place it on the rack. Preheat the oven to 500˚ F.

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cut a shallow “x” in the bottom of each

tomato. Blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately plunge

them into a bowl of iced water. When cool, slip the skins off. Slice the stem end off each

tomato; set aside.

Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the Parmesan cheese cubes down the

feed tube. Process 15 seconds; leave in bowl. Insert the shredding disc. Use medium pres-

sure to shred the mozzarella and fontina. Remove the cheeses to a bowl; toss to combine

and reserve. Insert the slicing disc. One at a time, place the tomatoes in the small feed tube.

Use very light pressure to slice. Place the sliced tomatoes on a triple thick layer of paper tow-

els to drain.

When the dough has risen, punch down; use as is or divide into 2 equal balls. Let rest 10

minutes. Roll the dough out to size. Place on a baker’s peel that has been sprinkled with corn

meal, or on a perforated pizza pan, a pizza screen or baking sheet without sides that has

been sprinkled with corn meal. Brush the edges with the olive oil, then using an offset spatula,

spread the pizza to 3/4 inch of the edges with the pesto sauce, using 3 tablespoons on the

14-inch pizza or 1-1/2 tablespoons on each 9-inch pizza. Sprinkle the pizza(s) with the shred-

ded cheeses. Top with the drained, sliced tomatoes.

Carefully slide the pizza onto the stone (position the peel over the back edge of the stone,

and use a rocking motion to shake and slide the pizza off the peel onto the stone), or place

the pan in the hot oven. Bake the pizza for 5 minutes, then rotate it front to back for even bak-

ing. Bake for another 3 to 6 minutes, until the pizza is bubbly and the edges of the dough are

golden brown, puffed and crispy. Remove from the oven and let rest on a rack for 2 to 3 min-

utes before slicing.

Preparation: 1 hour for the pizza dough (recipe, p. 27); then 20 minutes plus 12 minutes

to bake

green onions, trimmed,

cut into 1-inch pieces

1/2

cup evaporated skim milk

large baking potatoes (about 8

ounces each), washed, pierced with a

knife

tablespoons unsalted butter,

cut into 4 pieces

1-1/2 ounces Reggiano Parmesan cheese,

cut into 1-inch pieces

1/4

teaspoon ground white pepper

teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat oven to 400˚ F. Place garlic cloves in a small ovenproof ramekin and drizzle with olive

oil. Cover with aluminum foil. Lightly brush potatoes with olive oil. Place garlic and potatoes in

preheated oven; roast garlic for 30 to 40 minutes and bake potatoes until fork tender, about

1 hour. When cool enough to handle, cut off part of top of potato and scoop out flesh, leaving

a 1/4-inch thick shell. Reserve flesh and skins.

Insert metal blade. With machine running, drop cheese through small feed tube and process

until finely grated, about 30 seconds; reserve. Place scallions in work bowl and process until

finely chopped, about 5 to 10 seconds. Scrape work bowl. Add garlic, milk, butter, reserved

cheese, pepper and salt. Process until combined, about 12 seconds. Add potato flesh; pulse

in very short, quick pulses until just combined, about 10 to 12 times. Scrape bowl and pulse in

very short, quick pulses, about 10 more times. Generously fill potato shells with potato-garlic

mixture. Potatoes may be made ahead to this point and refrigerated until ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Place potatoes in a 9-inch square baking pan and bake, uncovered,

until tops are golden brown and potatoes are hot, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Add 5 to 10 min-

utes to baking time if the potatoes are cold from the refrigerator.)

Preparation: 10 – 15 minutes (allow 1 hour to prebake potatoes), plus 25 minutes to twice bake

Basic Cheesecake

Creamy, smooth and simple to prepare. Top with fresh fruit for a special dessert.

Makes 6 servings

low fat honey graham crackers, bro-

ken into pieces

1/2

cup sugar

tablespoon vanilla

tablespoon sugar

large eggs, at room temperature

tablespoon unsalted butter

pound low fat cream cheese, at room

temperature

Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Wrap the bottom and sides of a 7 x 3-inch springform pan in a

sheet of oversized aluminum foil. There should be no seams in the foil, and it should come up

to the top of the pan. Cut off any excess.

Insert the metal blade. Process the graham crackers until they are fine crumbs; add the sugar

and the butter through the feed tube and process until the butter can no longer be seen.

Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Put in the freezer until ready to fill.

Wipe out the work bowl with a paper towel. Insert the metal blade. Process the cream cheese

until smooth, about 20 to 30 seconds. Add the sugar and vanilla through the feed tube and

process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the work bowl. With the

machine running, add one egg; process to incorporate, about 5 to 10 seconds; scrape down

the sides of the work bowl. Add the second egg; process to incorporate, 5 to 10 seconds;

scrape the work bowl; process for 5 seconds longer. Do not overprocess.

Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Place in a roasting pan, and

set on the rack of the oven. Carefully add hot water to the roasting pan until it reaches

halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This is called a water bath or bain marie. Bake

the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. The cheesecake will still look jiggly in

the center. (Do not worry – it will firm up as it cools.) Remove the cheesecake from the bain

marie, remove the foil, and place on a rack. Cool completely on a rack, then cover and refrig-

erate for at least 8 hours.

The cheesecake is best made a day ahead. Garnish with fresh fruit if desired.

Preparation: 10 to 15 minutes, plus 1-1/2 hours baking and cooling time.

Carrot Cake

Wonderful as a 2-layer cake, but try it as a single layer cake,

freezing the second layer for another time.

Makes 8 servings

3/4

pound carrots peeled

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4

cup pecans or walnuts, lightly toasted

(3 ounces)

teaspoon baking powder

teaspoon baking soda

teaspoon salt

1/2

3/4

cup golden raisins

1/4

1/8

cup well drained pineapple chunks

(juice packed)

teaspoon cinnamon

teaspoon ginger

3/4

pound low fat cream cheese

3/4

1/4

ounces white chocolate, such as Lindt

or Callebaut, not imitation white

coating

teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

cup brown sugar, packed

cup vegetable oil

toasted pecan or walnut halves

1/4

large eggs

Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Spray two 8 x 2-inch round cake pans (6 cups each) with cooking

spray; line the bottom with a round of waxed paper or parchment paper and spray again.

Set aside.

Insert the shredding disc; use medium pressure to shred the carrots. Divide carrots in half.

Steam half the carrots until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Reserve the remaining raw carrots.

Insert the metal blade. Pulse the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger

and nutmeg to quick sift. Remove and reserve. Process the steamed carrots until smooth, 10

to 15 seconds. Add the brown sugar and oil; process until smooth, 10 seconds. Add the eggs

one at a time, processing 10 seconds after each addition. Add the vanilla; process to com-

bine, 5 seconds; scrape the bottom and sides of the work bowl. Add the flour mixture; pulse

to incorporate, about 10 times. Add the pecans, raisins and pineapple. Pulse until

just combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake in the preheated 350° F oven

for 30 to 35 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center. Cool in

the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire cooling rack and remove the waxed or parch-

ment paper. Cool completely before frosting. This cake is actually better when made a day

ahead. The layers may also be well wrapped and frozen. Frost with the White Chocolate

Cream Cheese Frosting and garnish with pecan halves.

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting:

Insert the metal blade. Process the cream cheese until smooth. In a double boiler over hot

water, carefully melt the white chocolate – do not stir, or the chocolate will seize. With the

machine running, pour the melted chocolate down the feed tube and process until smooth.

This will make enough frosting to frost the layers and sides of the carrot cake. Use an offset

spatula to frost the cake.

Preparation: 20 – 25 minutes, plus 2 hours to bake and cool; 30 minutes to prepare frosting

and assemble the cake

Basic Flaky Pastry Dough

This recipe makes ample crust for a 9 to 11-inch regular or deep-dish pie or tart.

Leftover pastry may be rolled out and cut into shapes to garnish the pie,

or brushed with milk, sprinkled with sugar or cinnamon and sugar,

and baked until lightly browned.

For a single crust pie or tart:

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For a double crust pie:

cups all-purpose flour

1/4

1/8

teaspoon salt

1/2

1/4

teaspoon salt

teaspoon baking powder

tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in

1/2-inch pieces, well chilled

tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in

1/2-inch pieces, well chilled

tablespoons vegetable shortening

(Crisco), cut in 1/2-inch pieces, well

chilled

tablespoons vegetable shortening, cut

in 1/2-inch pieces, well chilled

5 to 8 tablespoons ice water

2 to 4 tablespoons ice water

Insert the metal blade. Process the flour, salt and baking powder to sift, 10 seconds. Add the

well-chilled butter and shortening. Use short rapid pulses until the mixture resembles coarse

corn meal and no pieces of butter larger than a “pea” remain visible, 15 to 20 pulses. Sprinkle

half the maximum ice water on the flour and butter mixture, then pulse 5 or 6 times. The

dough will be crumbly, but should begin to hold together when a small amount is picked up

and pressed together. Sprinkle on more water, a teaspoon (two for the two-crust recipe) at a

time, with 2 to 3 quick pulses after each addition, adding just enough water for the dough to

hold together easily when pressed into a ball. Add the liquid sparingly so that the dough is not

sticky. Do not overprocess or the pastry will be tough, not tender and flaky.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press together into a ball, then flatten into a

disc about 6 inches in diameter (two discs for the two-crust recipe). Wrap in plastic wrap and

refrigerate for 1 hour before continuing to allow the gluten in the flour to rest. The dough will

keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, or may be frozen (double wrapped) for up to a month.

Thaw at room temperature for an hour before using.

To bake the pastry blind for a single crust filled pie or tart, roll out pastry 1/8-inch thick to fit

pan; crimp and seal edges. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the

oven to 400° F. Line with a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and fill with pie

weights, dry rice or beans. Bake for 15 minutes.

Preparation: 5 – 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes to rest

Deep Dish Pear and Apple Pie

Pears and apples combine to make a delightful taste combination.

You may also choose to use all pears or all apples.

Makes a 10-inch deep dish pie - 12 servings

Pastry for a 2-crust pie, p.45

tablespoons unbleached all-purpose

flour

ripe but firm pears, about 8 ounces

each, peeled, cored and quartered

3/4

1/4

cup dried cranberries (or dried tart

cherries, dried blueberries, or raisins)

Granny Smith Apples, about 8 ounces

each, peeled, cored and quartered

cup real maple syrup

(not pancake syrup)

Juice of 1 lemon + 1 tablespoon freshly

squeezed lemon juice

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat the oven to 400˚ F.

Roll out half the pastry to fit a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.

Refrigerate until ready to use.

Insert the slicing disc. Arrange the pear quarters in the feed tube. Use medium pressure to

slice. Repeat until all the pears are sliced. Transfer to a bowl and toss gently with the juice of

half the lemon. Reserve. Arrange the apple quarters in the feed tube. Use medium pressure

to slice. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the juice of half the lemon. Insert the metal blade.

Process the remaining lemon juice, maple syrup and vanilla to combine.

Layer half the apples in the prepared piecrust; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the flour and 3

tablespoons of the dried cranberries. Top this with a layer of half the pears sprinkled with 1

tablespoon of the flour and 3 tablespoons of the dried cranberries. Repeat both layers. Drizzle

the maple syrup mixture evenly over the top of the fruit. Roll out the remaining piecrust about

1/8-inch thick to fit the pie plate. Brush the edges of the bottom crust with a little water.

Carefully lay the top crust on the pie. Press gently to seal. Trim to the edge of the pie plate;

crimp or flute decoratively. Make about 10 to 12 slits in the top crust decoratively with the tip

of a very sharp knife. If desired, roll out some of the leftover crust and cut with small decora-

tive cookie cutters. For this pie, you could use pears, apples and leaves. Brush the bottoms of

the shapes with a little water and lay atop the crust in a decorative fashion.

Bake the pie in the bottom third of the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, covering the

edges with foil if they begin to get too browned after about 35 to 40 minutes. Let the pie rest

on a cooling rack at least an hour before serving.

Preparation: 15 – 20 minutes (plus time to prepare pastry crust), 2 – 3 hours to bake and cool
