Why not explore and learn more about the things we don’t get to visit or makes us want to visit in the future. Mansions and Castles: https://www.newportmansions.org/ https://www.iolanipalace.org/ https://piattcastle.org/visit https://graylyn.com/ ________________________________________________ In my previous email I had asked what my members are up too while in quarantine. Well, I have had a quite a few responses such as: Downsizing, decluttering, cooking, baking, jigsaw puzzles, quilting, walking, and reading and overeating. I have also received a few recipes, please continue to send me recipes you may have it could be anything grandma & grandpas or mom and dad’s favorite meal! If I make it I will post a picture and the recipe. Recipe: Garlic Mozzarella Bread – Delicious! For the Dough: 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour/plain flour 5g (1-1/2 tsp) instant yeast – 25g (2 tbsp) sugar 1/2 tsp salt – 42g (3 tbsp.) unsalted butter, melted 125ml (1/2 cup) warm milk – 1 egg, whisked – Flour for kneading, if necessary Garlic Scallion butter: 2 tbsp. softened butter – 1 tsp minced garlic 2 tbsp. chopped scallions – 1/2 tsp salt In a mixing bowl, stir all the dough ingredients into a soggy dough. Transfer to the counter, use flour if necessary to fold the dough with your fingers, fold, and press to guide the dough into a ball. Put the dough ball on a baking tray. Cover until almost doubled. After the dough expands, flatten with hand into a circle. Using a sharp blade, score the dough crisscross style. Brush with egg at the edges if you like. Spread garlic butter on the surface evenly. Mark again the scored with a spoon for easier putting the cheese. Insert pieces of Mozzarella cheese to fill the scored dough. Add freshly cracked black pepper on top. Bake at 200°C (400°F) preheated oven, top-bottom heat, for 20 – 25 minutes. An oven may vary. During baking, you might find the butter leaking out to the baking tray. Best to eat warm to get the stretchy melting cheese. ________________________________________________________________________ ErieCanalMuseum.org Onondaga Historical Association (OHA) The OHA has taken the community through the #ABCsinHistory, sharing stories from its museum archives virtually.
