Wifey made her killer Challah today. Great with dinner, but awesome as French Toast. Wifey is a pro when it comes to Challah.

It is indeed.

Been learning to make French Bread. True French Bread has only 4 ingredients---flour, water, yeast, salt.

So rewarding to eat it right when it comes out of the oven! Made these yesterday.

Since I'm snowed-in, I might just bake some peanut butter cookies today. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, I saw those on Amazon for $20-$25. I might just get me a present. Because I need another kitchen gadget.

Some delicious looking baked goods in this thread!

Not to derail it, but does anyone also do pickles / preserves / jams, etc?

Always looking for new ideas

I do jams and green tomato relish (Chow-Chow) in season from my garden. I keep some for myself and the rest I distribute to Seniors' Homes.

My latest attempt at French bread. I got a new baking stone that is 20" long so I can make bigger loaves. This one was slightly longer than 20" because it was the only one I baked and I put it on the stone diagonally.

The dough ball usually yields three loaves of this size. But on this go-around, I took the other two portions of dough and made pizza with them. The crust was awesome!

Lady Jane · 01-21-2023, 02:40 PM

Baguette with poppy seeds this time around. I kept half the dough to make a pizza based on dogbone idea. And will probably add ground beef as per chassis recipe.
