Pour the yeast mixture into the well, and gradually start incorporating it into the flour a little at a time. Add the oil and lastly, add the salt. Knead the dough until soft, smooth, and elastic. Cover the dough with a sheet of lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 30 min. To Make The Brine: Combine the water, olive oil, and coarse salt in a bowl. Stir to make an emulsion and then let it rest. Transfer the dough to a baking pan greased with oil, stretching it gently with your fingertips. Prod the surface of the dough with your fingers, forming small dimples where the seasoning will collect. Sprinkle the focaccia with the Genoese brine and let rise until it has doubled in volume, about 1 hr. to Make The Toppig: In a large skillet, saute the onions in the olive oil until softened. Remove the pan from the heat, and spread them over the focaccia. Bake in the oven at 390F (200C) for 20 min, or until golden brown.

Prepare 4 mini loaf pans, or 1 large loaf pan, by buttering very generously. In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potato, coconut oil, molasses, sugar, eggs, yogurt and vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the remaining ingredients. Fold the dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture, until well combined. Fill the pans evenly and level the tops with a spoon. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes for the small pans, or about 50 minutes for a large one, turning pan half way through to bake evenly. There should still be a few moist crumbs sticking to a tester inserted near the center. Cool the loaves in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack. Wrap leftovers tightly - this will keep at room temperature for a couple days, and much longer in the refrigerator. Serve with soft butter, or cream cheese - it is delicious toasted. Serves: 4 mini loaves, or 1 large loaf Description: "Sweet potato is at its best this time of year, and this loaf uses whole wheat flour and coconut oil for some extra nutrition."

I liked what I had, but the plastic parts broke and a replacement blade from eBay + postage would cost about the same as a new one of the same quality. I may now be ready for something that's of higher quality. Are there any that have metal parts anymore? I use the processor mainly for shredding cheese and slicing veggies. I could foresee mixing things in it like smoothies, so I want one that won't leak liquids. I have a KitchenAid mixer that is fine for cakes, bread, etc. and would probably not use a food processor for that sort of thing. Sam's is offering $30 off the Ninja Mega Kitchen System. Has anyone ever used that? Thanks ...

Coconut sugar (also known as coco sugar, coconut palm sugar or coco sap sugar) is produced from the sap of cut flower buds of the coconut palm. Coconut sugar comes in crystal or granule form, block or liquid. It is essentially a two-step process. Coconut sugar is subtly sweet almost like brown sugar but with a slight hint of caramel. The Glycemic Index of coconut sugar is 35 and is classified as a low glycemic index food. Coconut sugar has gained popularity as a health food and among people with diabetes. Coconut sugar can be used as a sugar substitute and is considered safe to use for diabetics. Wikipedia has some information: There are several sellers of coconut sugar on Amazon.com, among other places.
