aaronatthedoublef.Baked a pan of biscuits.
I made a batch of cinnamon buns, and topped them with maple icing.
I baked Whole Wheat/Rye/Semolina bread from Len's recipe. Yep, I brought my smaller bread machine with us to Florida, although I still use it just for mixing and kneading. The oven in our apartment seems to be just 5 degrees too hot, which is very good for an oven in a rental.
I baked a Sara Lee pumpkin pie. Not as good as mine own, but really not bad.
I baked cornbread muffins on Tuesday, using dry ingredients that I mixed together at home and brought with us. I brought two 6-well muffin pans, and paper liners, which was good, because this unit did not have muffin pans, unlike the one next door where we stayed last year.
I was going to try a new recipe for cookies but today has been long and I'm tired, so I made the lemon oatmeal cookies and I'm finished in the kitchen , they're for Poker ♥️ tomorrow night.
I made bagels - sort of -this week. I took a bagel tour/class in New York and at the end of the tour we cut dough and\? rolled bagels. Then we boiled and baked them.
In NYC everyone was using Sir Lancelot. What do you all use for high gluten flour? Do I really need it or will bread flour do?
A former neighbor is the head of the Lincoln Sysco office; he told me that All-Trumps (high gluten flour) was what a lot of pizza and bagel places used here. He brought me a big bag of it, it wasn't very good for bread but it worked well for bagels, though I thought it was bit too strong for pizza dough.
I have yet to try making bagels, Aaron, so I am interested in what you learn about the high-gluten flour. I have the King Arthur pumpernickel bagels on my "to bake" one of these days list.
This evening, I baked another loaf of Whole Wheat/Rye/Semolina bread.
All Trumps was mentioned in the class as a high gluten flour but all three places we visited used Sir Lancelot and maybe some others mixed with it.
KAB sells small bags of high gluten flour (and Amazon sells it too) but it is pretty expensive. I'll have to find a less expensive source.
