These are 5 pantry staples I never buy and instead always make at home! RECIPES: Instant Pot Yogurt Whisk 1 gallon of organic vitamin D ultra pasteurized (*NEEDS to be ultra for this recipe to work*) milk with 4 tablespoons of store bought yogurt (could be regular or greek, could even be flavored, the flavor won't come through anyway). Add to instant pot, set on "yogurt" function for 24 hours. When ready, put entire IP insert into fridge. Once cold, transfer to storage container and enjoy! Vanilla Extract To an air tight glass container (be sure it's airtight or the alcohol will evaporate) add 1 package of vanilla beans cut into 1" pieces and fill with vodka (or other alcohol). Let sit for one month, best if longer. This vanilla extract can be topped up whenever it runs low and will last forever (I've been topping mine up for 5 years now). The Best Granola To a bowl mix 2 cups of oats, ½ t salt, 2 t cinnamon, 2 t vanilla, ¼ c maple syrup. ¼ c olive oil. Stir, press onto pan – bake 350 for 22-25 mins, stirring halfway. Let cool 45 mins so it crisps up well. Tortillas To a bread machine, on the dough function (or in a bowl, to do by hand) add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil and 1 cup warm water. When combined let rest for 2+ hours. When ready to make, divide into 8 balls, roll into circles and cook on medium heat in a dry pan. Cook for 45 seconds - 1 minute per side. Pile into a plate and cover with towel. Enjoy! Bread Crumbs Save your stale bread - any kind of bread works here and freeze until ready. Put the bread into a food processor and pulse into crumbs. Put the crumbs onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 (maybe 15) minutes on 350.They are ready when they are golden brown and look dry. Let sit for 15 more minutes to cool and crisp up; then transfer to a container. The finished bread crumbs could also be frozen.
