Dill & Shallot Bread

This one worked out very well. Makes a sandwich style loaf, went well with spicy lentil soup. Will try to duplicate.

2/3 cups Italian flour
1/2 cup WW flour
3 cups white bread flour
1.5 tsp salt
dollop unfed starter
2 tsp yeast
2.5 Tbs olive oil
1.5 cups water
3-4 Tbs chopped dill
1 large diced shallot

Made a very soft dough. Baked convection bake 425F for 20-25 min in dark metal loaf pan.

Jen's Pasta Salad

Use these ingredients and but feel free to improvise. Have made this with torcheitte & orzo. Either works fine. The lemon, dill & feta are the only must have ingredients. Cook and rinse pasta before coating with a little olive oil, then add your choice of:

minced dill
lemon zest & juice
crumbled feta cheese
sliced olives
grilled/roasted eggplant cubes
minced raw garlic
bell pepper
chopped artichoke hearts
cucumber
something red: tomato or sun-dried tomato or roasted red pepper
celery or fennel
green onions

optional:
boiled/ sautéed  shrimp
marinated tofu
capers
