Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever). You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava) 1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes
Corndog muffins are my kids favorite. My son recently had surgery and needed soft foods for a few days so I made these in bulk. Needless to say, he's sick of corndog muffins lol
This is what it'll look like, scrape down the sides before continuing
Add eggs, and mix well (with either a hand mixer or your KitchenAid stand mixer
Add buttermilk; homemade buttermilk makes this recipe so creamy and so much better than plain old store bought; so take the time to make it yourself as its simply the easiest ever. (Baby, I'm worth it!... Uh huh I'm Worth it! tuning my daughters favorite song!)
Add dry ingredients and mix well
Scrape down the sides; at this point I like to turn the batter a couple times to make sure I got all the dry ingredients are incorporated
Place 1 tbsp into your mini muffin tin (I greased mine with butter really well, or you could use coconut oil)
Cut hot dogs into 1" pieces, I cut the ends off and feed them to my dogs; or you can microwave the ends and enjoy yourself
Place hot dogs in the middle of the muffin batter, and press down
Beautiful (I used one end in the middle it looked so ugly!)
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes; leave in muffin tin to cool for 5 minutes, then use a knife to help release the muffins. To reuse the pan (I had to 3 times) re-grease and continue on
So yummy and beautiful! My kids love these! When they take them to school for lunch, they told me all the kids said "you have the coolest mom ever!" "my mom does not make me those!" "they look so good! Can I have one?" Funny... You can be the coolest mom just by making healthier corndog muffins!
