Storing Your Powdered Dairy

So what do you do with your powdered dairy products once you've opened the can? Simply use what you need, and then store the rest in a plastic freezer bag. Freezer bags are thicker than regular storage bags, so they help keep moisture out of your food.

Moisture can create lumps in your powdered milk and powdered butter, so be sure to seal the bags as tight as possible.

Just a note: Powdered eggs, Powdered cheese, and Powdered butter need to be kept in the refrigerator, however Powdered Milk and Buttermilk DO NOT need to be refrigerated.

The normal shelf life for powdered dairy products is 3 years, so continue to rotate them so you can be sure you always have a fresh supply on hand.

Keep Your Bread Fresh

What do you do with all that bread that you just can't eat up fast enough? Freeze it!
That's right. Did you know that if you pre-slice your bread, then freeze it, your bread stays fresh, and it's easier to thaw? Just take out the slices you need, pop them in the toaster, and you're ready to go.

Using frozen bread to make lunches ahead of time is nice too, because it keeps the insides cold and by the time lunch time rolls around, it's thawed to perfection. Just another simple tip to help you in the kitchen.

Keeping Your Herbs Fresh...

Looking for a way to get a long life out of your fresh herbs? Well here's a simple tip...
Just wrap your bundle of herbs in a damp paper towel, and wrap them up tightly. Store them in a plastic freezer bag in the crisper section of your refrigerator. Now your herbs will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.

Be sure to watch my video on making your own herb butters as well. It's a great way to use up your fresh herbs before they start to turn, and it allows you to enjoy the taste of fresh herbs all year round.

Homemade Bread: Rising Your Dough

When making homemade bread, you may have experienced sunken loaves. This sometimes happens when the dough gets shocked from going into a hot oven from a cool kitchen too quickly. This incubation process that I suggest here helps to eliminate any shocking temperatures, as it gradually increases while the dough is in the oven. Good luck and enjoy your bread!
