      I did Maple Baked Beans from a recipe that I pulled off the internet years ago on Tuesday. My recipe said that is was originally based on a recipe from the "Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association". It must have been because it called for a humongous amount of maple syrup 2/3 cup. I was trying to use the very dark maple syrup from Canada, but even in pursuit of an experiment I couldn't force myself to add that much maple syrup. I think I added about 1/2 a cup and couldn't talk myself into adding more. This actually turned out very well being sweet but not overly so. One of the things I liked about that recipe is it calls for topping the baked beans with a layer of apples cut into quarters. I had rather large apples so I cut them into eighths.
      I pulled the recipe from MasterCook, but I can't find a reference to it anymore.

        Len;
        I can't find your bun recipe on this site. Could you provide a link please? Thanks. I have roast beef on the brain, I roasted an eye of round for Xmas, and am still taking slices out of the freezer for sandwiches.

          Yes. I knew this -- of course many things I know aren't accurate.

              I froze cheddar, the last time by accident, and while the taste is the same, the cheese becomes more brittle and harder to plane. It doesn't make a difference for pizza but the slices tend to break so grilled cheese sandwiches are harder to make.

                Mike, thats a beautiful pie. I wish I could eat a piece. I don't remember every eating a sour cream - raisin pie, and I certainly haven't cooked one.

                Len; your buns look so tasty, especially the basket weave. Do you make them into sandwiches with roast beef and onions?

                  I reuse my ziploc freezer bags too, but I don't keep them in the freezer. The smaller ones are rolled up in a old quart yogurt container, the 2 gallon size are on the shelf with the "good" ie unused dinner plates.

                      I just did a cranberry and ricotta cheese pizza. Makes a nice breakfast.

                      I've make double rise pizza doughs before but it was by accident. I had gotten distracted between punching the dough down the first time and forming it into pizzas. It doesn't make much difference.

                        I missed it. These do sound tasty.

                          I didn't realize that your recipes made two loaves instead of one. Good luck with the steam. Would it help to have a full frying pan of water in the oven so the oven would be constantly bathed in steam instead of just having a short burst of steam at the ccritical points? What do rye rolls taste like steamed anyway?

                            Can you bake the bread in a covered container like a Dutch oven to provide a moister atmosphere especially as you are doing single loaves. I have an oval Dutch oven that takes bread pans without problems.

                                The Bischofsbrot sounds very very tasty. Congratulations!

                                I baked a cheese pizza last night which turned out well, fluffy and tender with plenty of cheese -- mozarella and cheddar.
