These sweet little jewels are made with home made puff paste and lemon curd with a little dollop of cream cheese to make it interesting.
My first attempt this bread I concocted came out excellent with a nice moist open crumb and crisp crust. I decided it was time to try it again and change-up some of the flours and grains used in the soaker. I just picked up some Bulgar Wheat so I decided to add that to the soaker along with rolled oats, malt rye berries, oat bran and cracked wheat. I also used a different mix of
As a "no knead" graduate, I'm used to making high hydration, slack doughs, slumped into loaves which are only vaguely "boule" shaped. Tasty enough, full of "rustic charm", but definitely not pretty.
I want pretty. So I've picked up some banneton, and am training myself to use more flour than seems right, on the understanding that stiffer dough will be easier for a beginner to shape.
And so, this is a slightly stiffer version of Saus' "San Francisco Sourdough Bread". The formula calls for 69% hydration; this is 63%.
Hey All,
Long time no post here on TFL. I have been working a little too much these days to post, how ever I have been baking about once a week. I have been baking very whole grain breads with rye lately, and had some grains in the freezer that I wanted to bake with… So here's what I came up with….
Welcome to Dough Boy Fresh's Fresh Bread Blog!
I've recently started baking bread, and I've got my fourth or fifth loaf in the oven as I write. The following are some of my bread's. I've included a pie because the crust turned out very well. If I don't say so myself.
This here is my first loaf ever. It had some problems needless to say. But hey, I'm gettin better.
I was in the mood for something simple and relatively uncomplicated to bake so I decided to make some baguettes based on the Peter Reinhart method from ABED which uses a long overnight ferment of the bulk dough. Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone and had to add something different to make it more interesting. I just picked up some quinoa flour from the supermarket which imp
Warnemünde is not only the harbor for Hansetown Rostock, but a graceful old Baltic Sea resort. Thanks to the former GDR's lack of money, none of the nice old houses was torn down to make place to modern non descript highrise hotels, like in West Germany.
When I first visited my cousin's family in 1957, houses were grey, with flaking paint, looking more and more dilapidated every year . That changed dramatically after the fall of the wall and the reunion 1989. All the houses were fixed-up, by and by.
It all started when Angelo put ricotta on the shopping list because he likes to have it on pasta sometimes and we didn't have any in the house. I was the one doing the shopping that day, a day or two prior to Easter, and I found the ricotta on sale, with the large tub marked at a lower price than the small tub. So the large tub went in my basket, and then my mind started dreaming about what I was going to do with all that lovely ricotta.
