Whoa! Congratulations, Annie! What a misleading name that "white bread" has. :) It looks divine, and delicious.

Yummy.....but you know where I'm going..? Imagine that with brown sugar, cinnamon, sultanas and some chopped pecans! Not that the tomato basil thing isn't yummy but think of the possibilities!

That looks yummy! I had a look at the King Arthur Flour website- so many yum looking recipes. I told DH I can see quite a few bread experiments in my future (did you see the sweet bread with the lemon curd filling? oh,my) :-)

Yummo and congratulations Annie. Must have hit the spot with the judges as well as the family.

plllog, Elery thought the same thing about "white bread"!

Colleen, King Arthur Flour has some of my favorite recipes, I spend too much time there if I happen to go there looking for recipes. And yes, I've actually made the lemon curd filled bread, with your lemon butter! It's awesome, but I think everything is awesome with that lemon butter, LOL.

LindaC, That would make some good cinnamon bread and The Princess suggested Nutella, of course. I might add just a bit of sugar to the dough if I did that....

neely, Elery liked it well enough that he wants me to make it when his son and their family comes from California next weekend, to go with homemade pasta.

this is an amazing bread, I'd recommend it to anyone and if they actually read the directions, unlike me, the shaping isn't that big a deal!

Congratulations on Grand Champion Annie! I had seen that recipe on KAF just recently but have not tried. I am like linda92 I would go the brown sugar cinnamon route first ( I have this darn sweet tooth I have to keep medicated). I use their bread recipes lots, lately been trying their Foccacia recipes. 3 batches in a week...too much.

I agree that Nutella would be a good option for this bread - a bit like a chocolate brioche. I've also seen it made with pesto, which I think would be good. However, I did put sun-dried tomatoes on my shopping list so that I can try this version!

I'd like to see a photo of your Grand Champion ribbon!!

You are such a treasure. I remember baking chocolate chip cookies when I was 12 or so.. Got a blue ribbon, and my (5) brothers ate all of the rejects.

Lots of pain, but not being able to drive or leave the property because of that is worse. Going frigging nuts here.

Annie, That apple pie looks beautiful and delicious, please ship me a slice...umm make it the whole pie. LOL. Congrats to you and the kids...great job.

I have a bumper crop of basil so I am most definitely going to make that bread. It looks fantastic.

WOW! Congrats on all the wins. I wouldn't mind a slice or two of the pie, and the recipe for the award winning spaghetti sauce.

Mamapinky, the pie had to be displayed the entire week of Fair, so I don't think you want any now, LOL.

I thought the pie deserved better than a second, then the Judge told me that she had not included the recipe for the crust or it would have scored higher. The rules say a recipe card with the complete recipe must be included with the entry. Her recipe for the filling just said "an unbaked pastry shell". The crust was an all butter "pate brisee" and it was delicious. The filling is my favorite part of pie, though, so I thought it needed more apples.

Jerzeegirl, definitely try the bread, it's easier than it looks and it's delicious.

Peppi, I used this recipe, but it originally called for 1/4 cup of oil. I left that out, as it didn't do anything I could determine. I also peeled the tomatoes because I don't like the little papery bits in the sauce and I left out mushrooms because I think they get too mushy when pressure canned. That weird texture thing, you know....

Oh, and I tried again with the purple cabbage. Tonight I live trapped the biggest groundhog I've ever seen, but not before he ate the centers out of every single cabbage and brussel sprout plant. (sigh) He got the neighbor's cabbage too and was tricky to trap, but he's been relocated about 10 miles out into the National Forest. Now I have the trap set for the rest of his family.

Anyway, the recipe:

Spaghetti Sauce without Meat

30 lbs tomatoes
1 cup chopped onions
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped celery or green pepper
1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)
4-1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp oregano
4 tbsp minced parsley
2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar

Yield: About 9 pints (Depends on how much you reduce the sauce)
Do not increase the proportion of onions, peppers, or mushrooms.
Prepare tomatoes by choosing to peel or not, then dicing the tomatoes. If you leave the skins on you can use an immersion blender on the tomatoes to break down the skins.

Saute in a saucepan with a trace amount of olive oil add onions, garlic, celery or peppers, and mushrooms (if desired) until tender. Combine with tomato pulp in large sauce pot. Add spices and cook to a boil. Simmer, uncovered until the initial volume has been reduced by half. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Prepare hot pints by filling jars to 1" headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened vinegar clean paper towel. Adjust lids and process in Pressure Canner at 10 lbs of pressure for weighted gauge and 11 lbs at dial gauge for 20 minutes for pints, 25 minutes for quarts.

Congratulations to all of the winners! Your bread looks fabulous, as does Makayla's pie and her very professional looking cupcakes! Bud's garlic are enormous and his Lego is very cute. I'm in awe that they want to keep competing and you can channel them in such a positive way. But then again, you really are WonderWoman! LOL
