Quick Bakes For Thursday

 Even though most home chefs are already exhausted, they still want to bake for the Thanksgiving dinner. There is something about homemade rolls and desserts straight from the oven. Yet what could a tired home baker create?Something easy and quick.

One of the easiest is a batch of dinner rolls. These can be made without yeast for simple making and baking. Baking powder gives this traditional recipe rise . The rest is classic, with the addition of milk, flour butter or oil. They're made, they're rolled on to a cookie sheet and then baked for twenty five minutes. These can be made tomorrow night or Thursday morning. For an even tastier roll try baking garlic  butter no yeast dinner rolls. These have the addition of Greek yogurt for a very tender crumb. If home bakers want to tackled something a bit bigger, then consider baking a quick loaf of bread.There is a recipe that only calls for five ingredients and the best part it makes for a perfect sandwich bread for all those turkey ones on Friday.It has flour, baking powder,oil , milk and sugar.Use a greased loaf pan to bake it in because the dough will be quite thick.It only takes fifty minutes in a 430 degree Farenheit oven. A plus is that it will bake with a golden crusty top.

There are also the sweet bakes. Everyone loves a good pie after a Thanksgiving meal. the easiest choice would be getting one of those premade ones. You can fill it with a combination of puddings and Cool Whip for something different. A fun one that everyone will like is a cool mint grasshopper pie.Use an Oreo pie crust and fill with a mix of cream cheese and Cool Whip.Mint extract is used for flavor. This is really a no bake. You can try a simple apple pie with an already made pastry crust. (Pillsbury and Betty Crocker makes these). Cut six cups of apples  into thin slices and let sit in a bowl of sugar mixed with cinnamon. Layer these in the premade pie crust and dot with butter. Seal with a top crust and bake first for ten minutes for ten minutes for 450 degrees Farenheit. Reduce the heat after those ten minutes to 350 degrees Farenheit and bake for thirty minutes. A premade pie crust can also work for a pumpkin pie. The filling is  quick mix of pureed pumpkin, eggs, condensed milk, spices and salt. It's blending the filling and then filling the crust with it. Like the apple pie, its first baked at 450 degrees Farenheit then the heat is reduced to 350 after ten minutes. It's baked at this temperature for another forty minutes.

You can easily have freshly baked goods at your Thanksgiving table. Try rolls or bread. Make a quick pie. Everyone will love these at their dinner feast.
