Yes. I knew this -- of course many things I know aren't accurate.
I got this!
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 missed this.
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.
Mike;
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?
Mike
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.
I missed this.
BakerAunt;
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.
I knew this!
Happy Birthday!
I like reading about the science of cooking and the stories behind it. I really liked the McGee cookbooks.
