The baking thread.~ Bread, pies, cookies , cake and more

[Lady Jane]

My last batch of Tabbouleh was gobbled-up by my guests, so I had to make a new one. This time I ditched the rosemary and the basil then added dill instead and some sage. The English cucumber is definitely staying in the recipe. After the picture was taken, I drained the excess liquid. Pretty happy with the results.

Looks great! Looks like tabbouleh is working its way into the rotation!

Soaking my beans overnight. Then adding all the ingredients tomorrow morning before I go to work. Slow bake for at least seven hours.

Great thread Jane. 🤤 I love me some Baked Goods and I watch lots of Baking Reality Competition shows. I've baked a little bit. But my specialty is over an open flame.

Beans~ Part 2.

All ingredients added and into the oven for seven hours.




Fresh out of the oven. I will let it sit overnight and transfer to tubs for the freezer.

Productive day baking. Sourdough bread, and sourdough chocolate chip cookies. Dang I didn’t think to get ice cream. They would make great sandwiches.

Fresh out of the oven. OMG...The smell. I'm probably driving the dogs and blind lesbians crazy for several kilometers. Bahaha...



(Yes, I'm into the fruity wine.)

First try at homemade Manakish Za’atar (Levantine Flatbread).

[UncleWede]

I baked my first "loaf" of sourdough last night.

Son brought home starter, I've been learning. Then yesterday when I took some SRF ribeye out, I asked if he was making any contribution. He had mixed up a batch to take to his buddy's house, so poured ingredients into a bowl and gave me the details.

It didn't seem like I had enough time between then and dinner to get 3 pulls and a rest/rise, so this is pretty dense. Still went very well with ribeye/loaded mashed potatoes.

Looks great! It would go well with tabbouleh!

[Lady Jane]

My last experiment with Levantine bread was a bit of a hit and miss. I made a few newbie mistakes. It was not bad tasting but I didn't like the final product and presentation.

This time I used another recipe and followed it to the letter.

Well... It turned out perfect and almost as nice as the pictures in the above link.
I did however used the Zatar spice mix in moderation for my first batch.

What do you think?

Looks great. Za’atar is great. I made some from scratch a while back, time to use it on something.

Probably needs some hot sauce. Screens are bland.
