Cook Pasta in Microwave
Refer: https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-fix-kraft-mac-cheese-in-the-microwave/
Ingredient Ratios for Normal Box
- 145g Pasta
- 385g Water AKA 1 2/3 Cup (Weight of Pasta x 2.65 for Weight of Water)
- 30g of Cheese Powder ~3.5 tbsp
Need to figure out a way to mix the butter, half-n-half and cheese packet better, maybe ahead of time?
Use a medium glass bowl with a little oil on top of the water
The pasta provided in Kraft Macaroni & Cheese packages cooks in about 12 minutes in the microwave on high, stirring every 5 minutes. Use a 2-quart bowl or casserole dish to hold the noodles and the water, and leave it uncovered while it cooks. To save the step of draining the noodles after they've cooked, the manufacturer suggests using 1 3/4 cups water for the standard-size package. If you're using family style or another larger Kraft Macaroni & Cheese product, check package instructions so that you add just enough water to be absorbed by the macaroni.

Chewy, Fudgy Triple-Chocolate Brownies
Makes sixty-four 1-inch brownies
Either Dutch-processed or natural cocoa works well in this recipe. These brownies are very rich, so cut them into small 1" squares for serving.
5 ounces (142g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces (57g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into quarters
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 large eggs
1¼ cups (8.75 ounces, 248g) sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (5 ounces, 141g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8-inch-square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Fold two 16-inch pieces of foil lengthwise to measure 7 inches wide. Fit one sheet in bottom of greased pan, pushing it into corners and up sides of pan (overhang will help in removal of baked brownies). Fit second sheet in pan in same manner, perpendicular to first sheet. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In medium heatproof bowl set over pan of almost-simmering water, melt chocolates and butter, stirring occasionally until mixture is smooth. Whisk in cocoa until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in medium bowl until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk warm chocolate mixture into egg mixture; then stir in flour with wooden spoon until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan, spread into corners, and level surface with rubber spatula; bake until slightly puffed and toothpick inserted in center comes out with small amount of sticky crumbs clinging to it, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove brownies from pan using foil handles. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve. (Do not cut brownies until ready to serve; brownies can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 5 days.)

Making Bread
Recipe for Bread Pan with Lid (Pain de Mie Pan)
Specifically for our bread pan 300mm
Flour 375g
Rice Flour 45g
Milk 300cc (1 & 1/3 cup)
Sugar 22.5g ~6 tsp
Butter 22.5g or 1.5 tbsp
Salt 1 tsp
Dry Yeast 1 tsp
Sift flour together twice
I substituted water for milk and olive oil for the butter, the mixture was way too wet, let's try just 1 cup and 1 tbsp of water next time.
Put in bread machine and let it go until it gets punched down for the second rise. Going to try to have it kneaded an extra five minutes.
Original recipe says cover with wet towel for 15 minutes but I just let it stay in the bread machine instead, as stated above.
Spray pan with oil, and place dough in pan.
I actually pre-heated oven for a couple of minutes and then let it rise with the cover almost closed until bread almost reached top this takes approximately 45 minutes.
I turned on oven and when it reached 375F, I started the timer for 35 minutes.
So, 375F for 35 minutes and you now have bread.
Notes: The original recipe has you separate the bread into two halves and place these in the bread pan to keep it from getting too much dome shape. I actually broke it into four pieces, rolled them into ball/logs with ends pointing to narrow sides and it worked perfectly.

1/3 cup sugar, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Water: 1 cup = 236 grams
Milk, non-fat: 1 cup = 245 grams
Sugar: 1 cup = 200 grams
1/2 Batch
128g cups all-purpose flour
33g sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
62g milk
1 large egg
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the pieces of diced butter and combine, with your hands, until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with approximately 1 1/2 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart.
Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
