What are you Baking the Week of November 17, 2024?

[Mike Nolan]

I'm thinking I may dig through my keto-ish recipes to find the one that had some rye flour in it, I'm sort of in the mood for a rye-like bread.

Spread the word

I made focaccia and topped it with KAF's "The Works".

Before lunch on Sunday, I baked my adaptation of Soft Barley Cookies from the dough I made last night. My version replaces butter with avocado oil and the sour cream with nonfat Greek yogurt. The first tray needed to bake for about 30 seconds longer. The second tray needed to bake for about a minute less. I will get it right next time.

I made the Dark Fudgy Brownies and yesterday I made the sourdough bread again for my niece tomorrow. I made a double batch and upped the starter to 162 grams . I mixed it up at 3pm yesterday and usually it'll sit on the counter overnight but when I was going to bed last night I looked and both batches was spilling over the top. I didn't know how it would do if I panned it up and put in the fridge so I got both batches panned up at 11pm and I waited till they rose an inch over the pan baked them and I went to bed around 2 am . I baked one in a 8x4 then split the other batch in a 8x4 and one tinfoil 8x4. I loaf was 2 pounds and the split recipe made 2 one pound loaves short and small the regular one was 5 inches tall at tallest part.These were all white bread. I baked another Spicy Applesauce Cake for her too.

Joan; Looks nice. Sorry you missed your sleep.

Does anyone have a pizza recipe that calls for milk? I need to use up some extra milk and I want to bake a pizza. At the moment I make potato rolls when I want to use up milk.

[Mike Nolan]

The Great Chicago-Style Pizza Cookbook has one, but it only uses 6 tablespoons of milk, so it probably won't make much of a dent in your surplus milk unless you make a LOT of dough:

3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons milk
3 cups unbleached flour
2 packages ADY

When non-bakers watch The Great British Bake Off:

I think I will have to stick to potato rolls at 1 cup of milk; English muffins can use 1 1/2 cups of milk but I don't have the English Muffin rings with me.

When we have had milk that needs to get used up, we would make pudding or creamed tuna. But I haven't bought any milk since February, all we keep on hand right now is heavy cream because it is more keto-friendly. I dilute it 3-1 or 4-1 when making a recipe that calls for milk.

Skeptic, I'm pretty sure you can use milk in whatever your usual pizza dough you like. It will change the texture, will be softer and more tender. Sometimes when I make my burger/sandwich buns, which use milk, I set aside some dough and make a pizza with it. It comes out fine.

On Monday, I baked three loaves of my Whole Wheat Oat Bran Bread.

I baked Rye Barley Crispbread on Tuesday. With those grains, and a topping of sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds, it is great for healthy snacks.

Joan, the bread looks nice.

Violet and I made cookies from her Duff cookie book. They are Toll House cookies with butterscotch chips and pecans added. We didn't have pecans (no pecan pie this year for Thanksgiving) or butterscotch chips so we used walnuts and milk and semi sweet chocolate chips. They're pretty good but our chocolate chips cookies are better.

I was behind on my bread making but I had ciabatta dough in the fridge when Violet decided she wanted a sandwich for lunch. I had just enough time to bake a few buns and then make her a sandwich even though they weren't quite cool when I cut the first one. But she was happy.

[BakerAunt]

It's nice to have an appreciative audience for baking, Aaron.

I made dough for another batch of Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers. I will bake them next week.

[Joan Simpson]

I made another Spicy Applesauce Cake for poker night tomorrow, we didn't get to play last Friday so I made it again.
