Rainy day baking and cooking... What are you cooking today?
Comments (24)Although it seems like a forgiving dough - I can taste that I cheated on the overnight ferment. Sorry your casserole dishes aren't big enough. I bake in a toaster oven so when my bread rises it burns on top. Another reason P a L'A is good - it spreads out more than up. I brush the bread with some slightly salty water right before it goes in the oven. But I lose that lovely floury rustic surface. Do you have a pizza stone? That helped me get a better crust back when I last had an oven - now I use it in my grill to make pitas. Also I read somewhere or another about using a SS restaurant dish lid as a cloche though I've never seen one large enough. I am currently jealously watching a neighbor build a stone wood-fired bread oven by his pond - the ultimate bread oven. He says he will advise me when I am ready to build one - and I definitely do not lack for rocks. However right now my 'yard' is festooned with logs, brush and firewood piles. Hopefully in the near future the logs will become a woodshed and I can move the firewood inside. Then maybe a bread oven - which will entail moving rocks. I'm tired just thinking about it all. Making some tea and toast and taking a nap....See MoreWhat's Cooking Today?
Comments (3)It stopped raining after 2 days but it is cold. 18 this morning & did not get past 30 all day. More rain tonight & tomorrow. Much to much rain here in TN. I made a big pot of spaghetti sauce, I had no more left in the freezer. For dinner it was chicken parmesan with spaghetti. Dessert was a homemade chocolate pie, Making cho. pudding is time consuming but so much better then the box....See MoreWhat Are You Cooking Today?
Comments (13)I have pizza dough in the fridge that I made a couple of days ago, and so I will be making one pizza and one stromboli. I also have some leftover grilled tuna from last night, and I will be making a tuna salad with that, possibly a Salade Niçoise, or some variation of that. I do have Niçoise olives, and I cooked some green beans last night to have with the tuna. I would not be cooking the pizza and stromboli if I had not already made the pizza dough, but I went shopping yesterday (for my senior discount at Bristol Farms) and could not resist the tuna. The tuna was from Fiji, where I will be going this winter, and so I wanted to get a previous of Fijian food....See MoreWhat's Cooking Today?
Comments (23)Cooper, I like this one. I put it in the bread machine, liquid first, then dry ingredients on top, and set the dough cycle. When it's done I form dinner rolls or loaves or whatever I like. This batch I made with White Whole Wheat flour and regular AP, both from King Arthur Flour. Sometimes I use my own homeground wheat flour and King Arthur AP, and it works fine too. Honey whole wheat bread 3 cups all purpose flour 3 cups whole wheat flour (I use KA White WW) 2 pkg. active dry yeast 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup milk 1 cup water (or 2/3 cup water and 1/3 cup orange juice) 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup butter (I use olive oil) 1 egg Preparation: In large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt and mix well. In saucepan, heat milk, orange juice and/or water, honey, and butter until warm. Add to flour mixture with egg and stir. Beat this batter for 3 minutes. Then, gradually stir in rest of whole wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour for a firm dough. Knead dough, adding more flour if necessary, for 5-8 minutes until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour, until doubled. (I proof in the microwave) Punch down dough and divide in half. Form two loaves (or dinner rolls of your desired size, and place into greased 9x5" bread pans or cake pans for rolls. Cover and let rise in warm place until the dough doubles. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, until bread is golden brown. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks. Have fun baking! Annie...See More
