I guessed this but it was an easy guess.
I made bread on Thursday in the slow cooker. I put the bread in the pan, placed it the slow cooker and went off to work. It was suppose to be a whole wheat bread with a cinnamon swirl. Things got busy and work and I came home late to find the bread was badly over cooked and had a decided harsh carmelized flavor. I cut it in cubes and went off to feed the geese this morning.
I guessed at my second choice.
I was mainly lucky.
I did Cranberry Pumpkin whole wheat scones on Sunday. They were a little dry but are making a very good breakfast when reheated and spread with a little butter. I've been taking them to work for a snack with unfortunately no butter, but with either milk or coffee.
I got this right by accident.
Missed it
Got it but only by a lucky guess.
I got it!
I missed this. I don't do any true barbecuing, but I have put ribs in a crockpot with barbecue sauce.
Wednesday evening, I tried baking focaccio in a slowcooker. I placed it directly on the bottom of the slowcooker insert lined with parchment paper. I cooked at on low starting at 11:00 pm. I checked on it at 3:00 am or so and found the temperature was 140 degrees so I left it alone. I looked at it again in the morning and found the temperature was still 140 degrees but the bread was hard and crispy and dry on the bottom half! Not a success. I guess cooking a loaf in its own pan is differnt from cooking flat bread directly on the cooking surface.
If I try this again, I am definitely checking much sooner like after 3 hours and not only with a thermometer. I ate it ayway even though the texture was more like rusk toast.
I got it!
I did too but that was a lucky guess.
I made a cheese pizza last night. The main difference is that I used white whole wheat flour instead of regular whole wheat flour. The dough was rougher and not as smooth or bouncy. I don't think it rose as well either. The pizza had a milder flavor than a regular whole wheat pizza and was slightly more dense. I used about 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce on it.
Today I am making pumpkin whole grain bread, mainly taken from the KAF recipe. I plan to bring it to a party where the hostess is diabetic so I left out the sugar and used all whole wheat flour. I also kneaded in a little over 1 cup of Cabot Sharp cheddar cheese cut in 1/3 inch cubes. I'm going to try baking it in a crockpot on high for 3 hours. This is the second time I've done this but last time I baked it in a crockpot on low for about 8 hours.
Aaron, thanks for the information about your pizzas. How do you manage 5-6 pizzas for one meal? Its all I can do to cook one pizza. I think I could make 2 at a time if I pushed it but thats about it. Does each teenager need their own pizza?
I just did a fairly plain whole wheat quick bread, with only 1/4 cup of honey for flavor and sweetness. I made it to eat with strawberries instead of a shortcake. Its very boring but that was sort of what I was aiming for.
