One of the many things, I don't understand about rye flour, is what does the Ash content measure? Is it a measure of protein or minerals? How do they get that figure.
I got this!
I got it, but I had to remember the formula for the volume of a sphere and do some math before I found the answer. I'm not at all exact in letting my dough rise. I normally let rise until it feels soft but normally punch it down before it gets near double.
Good luck on your rye bread! They all look tasty.
I thought parsnips were like tough carrots or turnips. I ate a chicken leg which was tasty with a very strongly flavored sauce, and rice and green beans. The green beans were frozen beans heated in the microwave and utterly boring which made it perfect for the chicken.
I tried a recipe for Chicken with Orange Flavor from Chinese Casserole Cookery, only I used 5 drumsticks instead of one chicken; and I cooked it in a stove top pressure cooker. I haven't eaten it yet, I plan to warm it up for supper. I would have liked to have cooked this a couple of days ago but I ran out of energy in the evening and ate some left over pizza or a sandwich instead.
I also put in some parsnips since I had them, and didn't have any bamboo shoots. The parsnips came out very soft, more than I expected. The chicken recipe included hoisin sauce, orange peel, sherry, soy sauce and Thai peppers so I have great hopes of it being tasty.Riverside Len;
Those buns look magnificent!I baked a sort of focaccio -- it was going to be a pizza but it was rather dry and rose nicely into a boule form so I just baked it instead of flattening it out and trying to make a pizza. My initial plans were for an apple pizza or cranberry-ricotta pizza.
I messed this up.
After going to cooking so much whole wheat I am finding regular white rolls far too soft. Trader Joe's had some French Milk bread rolls "Pain au Lait" which were tasty but very very soft.
I did a fairly blind guess and chose the wrong answer.
Are you sure of this answer? Wikipedia has a different explanation
Thanks for the recipes. The butternut squash/chicken looks intriguing. My last pot pie crust was unfortunately soggy, but I think I know what caused it. I'm not sure that I'd want an egg wash on the underside of the pie crust. I like the top of the pie crust to be crisp, but the soft texture of the underside where it meets the pot pie filling is part of its charm.
Do you think that kale is a good addition to a pot pie? I am afraid it would over cook and turn out mushy.Last Thursday I did a cheese pizza. This is the sort of pizza I do all the time but this time it had far less cheese. I realized later that I was using a cheese plane to cut up the cheese and while the whole pizza was covered it wasn't covered very thickly.
Saturday I did a buttermilk whole wheat bread with a cinnamon swirl, cooked in the slow cooker. It too about 3 hours to get to 190 degrees and was just great. The cinnamon sugar wasn't as visible as it would have been for a white bread but it was very tasty.Baker Aunt; congratulations on a successful brownie adaption! I don't like chocolate chips in brownies but I love nuts.
Mike; I went to look at Susan Purdy's pie cookbook again and she has a lot of different pie crust recipes, the potato recipe was very appealing too.
