2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 T. water
1-2 onions, thinly sliced
pinch of dill seeds
Brown roast well and then put in dutch oven fatty-side down. Add salt, pepper, and dill. Cover with onion slices and add water and put on lid.
Cook for 6 to 12 hours on simmer or 4-5 hours in the oven at 325 degrees. When you slice the brisket, take off layer of fat. Meat is even better when sliced and put back in pot juices. However, you can make yummy noodles in the pot juices. Add about a cup of water and add noodles to boiling juices and water. Cover and turn down and cook until done, abt. 30 minutes. Check every 5-10 minutes to see if noodles need more water. Add about a a half a cup at a time.
Serve on large platter with meat evenly sliced surrounded by noodles with a little parsley.

Anyone who loves Olive Garden is probably also a big fan of the
bottomless basket of warm, garlicky breadsticks served before
each meal at the huge Italian casual chain. My guess is that the
breadsticks are proofed, and then sent to each restaurant, where
they are baked until golden brown, brushed with butter and
sprinkled with garlic salt. Getting the bread just right for a
good clone was tricky -- I tried several different amounts of
yeast in all-purpose flour, but then finally settled on bread
flour to give these breadsticks the same chewy bite as the
originals. I discovered that the two-stage rising process is also
a crucial step to making the perfect Top Secret Recipe for these
very popular soft breadsticks.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm
water (105 to 115 degrees F)
16 ounces bread flour (3 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
On top:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Directions
Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the warm water in a small bowl or measuring cup and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it
becomes foamy on top.
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Use the paddle
attachment on a stand mixer to mix the softened butter into the
flour. If you don't have a stand mixer, use a mixing spoon to
combine the butter with the flour. When the yeast mixture is
foamy, pour it into the flour mixture and use a dough hook on
your mixture to combine the ingredients and knead the dough for
approximately 10 minutes. If you don't have a stand mixer,
combine the ingredients and then knead the dough by hand on a
countertop for 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a covered container and let it sit for 1 to 1
1/2 hours, until it doubles in size. When the dough has doubled,
measure out 2-ounce portions and roll the dough between your
hands or on a countertop to form sticks that are 7 inches long.
Place the dough on parchment paper-lined baking sheets, cover and
set aside for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the dough doubles in
size once again.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake the breadsticks for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. When
the breadsticks come out of the oven, immediatelybrush each one
with melted butter and sprinkle with a little garlic salt.
Makes 12-13 breadsticks

Chocolate Angel Food Cake
Note: To make a chocolate version, substitute 1/4 cup cocoa powder for 1/4 cup of the flour.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 12 large egg whites (make sure not to get any of the shell or egg yolk in with the whites or they won’t beat up properly)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
Dry ingredients:
For the egg white mixture:
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder (if using), sugar and salt and set aside. In another bowl place the egg whites and add the vanilla. With a hand mixer (or with a stand mixer), beat the egg whites and vanilla on medium-high until the mixture is just frothy, about one minute. Sprinkle the cream of tartar on the top of the foamy whites and continue beating on medium-high until soft peaks form, another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sugar 1/4 cup at a time until fully incorporated. Continue beating until the whites are stiff and glossy (see the picture below). This may take several minutes, depending on the type of mixer you are using. With a whisk, gently fold the dry ingredients into the beaten egg whites. Pour the batter evenly into an ungreased angel food cake pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Place the cake on a rack in the center of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top of the cake is golden brown, the cake springs back when lightly touched and the cracks are dry to the touch. Place the cake upside down on cooking rack or bottle until cool (see picture below). Slide a knife around the edges of the pan and gently remove the cake.
