Today I made the Tick Tock Orange Sticky Rolls posted by DachshundLady on the OBC. It's an interesting recipe because it is not a yeasted dough but a "biscuit" made with baking powder. I made only one major change by adding 3 Tablespoons of orange flavored Tang mix to the orange spice filling. I also added about 3 Tablespoons of flour during the kneading process, to make the batter manageable. The rolls are delicious, very orange, tangy tasting. And they were quick and easy to make.
After I roasted potatoes for dinner on Wednesday night, I baked my adaptation of The Shipyard Galley's Zucchini Muffins, which King Arthur posted some years back. I made mine all whole wheat and halved the sugar. I also replace half the oil with buttermilk and add 2 Tbs. milk powder. I baked them as six large muffins. I am trying to arrange my baking, so that I can use an already heated oven for a second project.
Today was a great day for baking, as we have been blessed with rain since late midmorning. I baked a blueberry pie with crumb topping on Friday. It will rest overnight, and I expect we will start slicing it at lunch tomorrow. The convection setting of 375F is great for berry pies.
I also baked my version of Ellen's bun recipe as ten buns this evening for a picnic we are planning for tomorrow.
A nice thunderstorm is coming through here now, so maybe you'll have some more wet and not overly hot weather soon, bakeraunt. (I watered the chestnut trees on my front lawn this evening, so of course it is raining now.)
Mike--We had some light rain in the early evening at the park we visited. We got another .17 inches overnight, according to the rain gage. It is overcast this morning, so I am hoping for more rain to keep the blackberries on the terrace and in the woods watered, so that I get a good crop for jam.
