Hello there, My name is Rolla and I am very glad you’ve stopped by to read my cooking blog. It looks like nowadays not many people have time and/or mood to cook food at home. And I think, even less of them are actually enjoying the process of making home food, they probably think: making food is hard or boring. So I really hope you will find recipes posted here useful, tasty and fun to prepare, and you will actually enjoy cooking them.

1 envelope yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup warm water
pinch of ginger (helps activate the yeast)
2 cups warm buttermilk

Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes.

Turn out and cool completely on a rack. Cover the loaves if you want soft crusts.

Pioneer Womans Apple Dumplings















What you need:
1 large apple {I used a Fuji- any apple will do, tart is better}
1 can Pillsbury Crescent dough
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cups sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup or 6 oz. 7-Up or equivalent {half the can}


directions : 

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish. 
    Cut each apple into 8-10 wedges. 
    Slice the apple skin off as well and set aside. 
    Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles.
     Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the wide end. 
    Pinch to seal and cover apple and place in the baking dish. {This is easier if you first pat the apple wedge dry, then wrap dough around it.} 
    Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Heat, whisking to combine. 
    The mixture will slowly combine and thicken. When it's thickened, remove from heat and add vanilla. 
    Pour cinnamon mixture over the apple dumplings. Pour soda over the dumplings. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown!!!
