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.

Comments (10)Pat, your Mom DOES look awesome, and I'm not going to add "for her age" either! reminds me of my own Mother, who has worked right beside me in the kitchen for a cople of weddings, and just keeps going until we're done, hours later. I suggested she take a break, she asked me "What? You think I'm OLD?" Ahem. So you're related to Elery, are you. Hey, it could be, his family is all over Kentucky and Tennessee, a long line of Southern Baptist preachers! Annie...See MoreLOOKING for: Betty Crocker's Cooking for Today 1992 Sesame Chick

Comments (8)I've always added Korean chili flakes to my stuffed cabbage rolls. If gochujang sauce is sweet, I would not use it myself, but I do like the idea of substituting collard greens for cabbage. When I make cabbage rolls, I also trim (horizontally) the thickest part of the rib on the leaves, to make them easier to roll - but only for the outer leaves. Thanks for this suggestion, as I love collard greens!...See More
