What I wanted to bake and did NOT is KAF Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. I've made them before. They're best if they sit overnight, as KAF Tip suggests. They use 3 eggs, and I had to choose between my sweet tooth, my husband's desire for breakfast eggs, and the uncertainty of eggs not being in stock at grocery store. So I opted not to make it. I ate some chocolate chips and called them cookies.
I knew this, but I didn't know the reason until I read Mike's explanation.
Thanks, Aaron, but I think I'm okay, too. I had a supply of bread flour, so when I couldn't find AP at the stores, I checked KAF blogs and found I could successfully sub bread flour for AP in bread. I've been doing that and conserving my KAF AP. I haven't tried bread flour in sweet goodies, and the blog didn't test those, as I recall. Does anyone know if I can successfully use bread flour in place of AP in things like cookies and cakes? I bought SAF Gold yeast from KAF when they still had it. So I have both red and gold yeast -- enough to last me a while in the freezer. I'm thinking that when the economy opens up again, many of the new bakers will quit baking and supply chains will return to normal. Of course, how long it takes for the economies of all States to return to normal remains to be seen! My guess is that some of the new bakers will continue baking, but I doubt all will.
I'm going to make an 8-quaart pot of Vegetable Beef Soup today. Because it'll be designed to make several meals, I'm going to use carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes, as usual. Plus, frozen corn and lima beans. I also use barley, but not much. As a child, I always liked the small amount of barley in Campbell's Vegetable Beef Soup, so I use just enough barley in mine to give a few grains to each bowl of soup.
This information is on the back of the Ghiradelli chips I buy at Sam's, so I had the correct answer.
chocomouse, do you thaw the blueberries for the Lemon Streusel Coffeecake, or add them frozen? For sure I'll try that. Thanks!
I knew it, too.
I baked KAF Lemon Streusel Coffeecake. It uses lemon zest, lemon powder, and lemon oil. I didn't have the oil, so I used orange oil, and it still tasted of lemon. Next time I make this, I'm going to reduce the streusel by half. As recipe is written, it's too much crunch for me. Hubby likes it as is. KAF offers the suggestion to use 1/2 oil and 1/2 butter in the cake instead of all butter. I went with the oil substitution and will do that again.
My first guess was correct, but I second-guessed myself and missed.
Thanks for letting us know about the 11 x 11" pan, Mike. Somewhere I have a recipe I want to try that calls for that size.
I had never heard of Arak, and I wasn't even sure distilled beverage meant alcohol. I chose the ingredient I thought would best go with grapes and guessed correctly.
Mike, I'm signed it, and the edit button is missing from my previous post. I forgot to mention that I'm making pizza for dinner tonight, using KAF Now or Later pizza crust recipe. A cheese pizza. No fresh veggies.
I had a sugar craving after I closed down the kitchen for the night. So I made the easiest brownie recipe I have. When I was a newlywed, I made it often, because I didn't have any other recipes. Now, I make it only when I need a quick sugar fix.
I knew this, but I learned from the explanation. Thanks, Mike!
April 9, 2020 at 9:17 am in reply to: How Will Your Holiday Be Different This Year of Quarantine? #22725The tradition I created for all holidays is to have a special breakfast. Both our mothers focused on the main meal, so I wanted something unique to the family my husband and I created. I'm going to make one of KAF coffee cakes, but haven't decided which one. For dinner, we're having oven-fried chicken, roasted potatoes, Paula Deen's Garden Pea Salad, and what's left of Carrot Salad. I'd like to have ham, but we're still isolating in place. While we realize we can grocery shop, we are not.
