What are You Baking the Week of November 18, 2018?

I made rolls which started out in my bread machine. Because I hadn't used the machine in a while I looked at the manual (Zojirushi) and noticed that if you are using instant yeast you use the "Quick Dough" setting instead of "Basic Dough". This resulted in a shorter proofing time and second rise. The rolls weren't that tasty. Do you think I could have used the "Basic Dough " setting even though I was using instant yeast?

I never paid any attention to that, and always used IDY.

For Thanksgiving I made an apple slab pie -- it was easier to cut than a regular pie and had plenty of crust for crust lovers, and pumpkin cornbread with cranberries.

Thanksgiving evening I baked whole wheat chocolate scones to bring half to a friend who was working overnight at Penneys for their Thanksgiving night sales.

Friday I spent all afternoon baking a 14 lb Red Warty thing -- which was either an odd looking pumpkin or a odd looking squash and had 4 1/2 pints of pumpkin puree out of it.
Today I have sage and rosemary Focaccio -- rather odd shaped I put in too little water and it didn't flatten out completely.

I don't feel like baking or eating anything right now. My Thanksgiving leftovers included a green bean casserole which contained bacon and more bacon and cheese and fried onion bits and while it was all so very tasty, it was very filling.

navlys, I always use the basic dough setting on my bread machine. It takes about an hour and a half to mix, knead, and rise the dough, then I take it out for a quick knead and shaping for the final rise. I've never baked in it, and never used any other settings. I use the SAF red instant yeast, which I buy at BJs and store in the freezer. All the breads develop good flavor.
