    Dinner 2023

    I grew it this year.
  4. This was an interesting bake. Yesterday morning I fed both of my starters. Rather than start a preferment, I just tossed 60g of discard into each of two - 1000g batches of flour along with less than 1g of yeast (1/4 tsp). Finished the last stretch and fold before 10AM and assumed that the dough would be a slow rise but should be ready to start shaping around 4 or 5 PM. It was not. At 6:00 PM, I cut off a 500g piece for Matt because he had been planning to make a pizza for dinner. Reshaped the remaining dough and put it back into the container. It still wasn't ready by 10 and besides, since I'm up usually before 3:00 AM, I wasn't going to start baking at 10 anyway so I just left if on the counter and assumed, either it would be good to go by 2 or 3 AM, after a 17 hour counter fermentation or it would be a dud and I would just toss it. Checked it at 2:15 and it had risen to more than double and looked good. So I divided it into five pieces, preshaped it, left it for 20 minutes and then finished shaping and then let it proof for 90 minutes. Baked 5 baguettes. Sliced one while still slightly warm and the other half is now in the toaster oven. The second batch went into the fridge to be baked sometime in the next couple of days.

    Greek tonight. Moe actually mentioned that we hadn't had Chicken Souvlaki recently so tonight was the night. Served with rice and a Greek Salad.

    Great looking pizzas @Duvel. Today is Moe's birthday. For dinner we had Green Peppercorn Steak with Parisienne potatoes. And Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. It is tradition that we always have something with strawberries.

    Hard fried egg sandwich on a toasted baguette.
  9. Baked eight baguettes this morning. Dough started last night and left out on the counter from 9:00 PM until 4:00 Am this morning for a seven hour fermentation. Sliced one while still slight warm for Moe's breakfast.

    Dinner 2023

    Stir fries make the best worknight dinners. Quick and easy. Got home at 5:35 and we were eating at 6:17. Chicken and Green bean stir fry in a black bean sauce. Served over rice.
  11. @ElsieD, @PatrickT, yes that is the same recipe. Elise, I just added a tablespoon of some whole wheat that I had on hand. Not sure the wheat bran or otherwise is necessary. And no, I just used a regular bread pan. The Pullman pan I have is more like a cocktail bread size pan.

    Dinner 2023

    I wanted to use the Pane al Latte bread to make hot chicken sandwiches for dinner. Got home from work just before 5:30. Moe had the oven preheated to 500°F for me. Put two chicken breasts in the oven to roast. Potatoes were cut using the Breville Sous Chef 16 Pro French Fry blade which took less than 30 seconds to cut 3 russet potatoes. Left to soaked in salted water. When chicken was half cooked, I did the first fry on the fries. Chicken came out of the oven after about 35 minutes and rested while I made the gravy. Just had to slice the chicken, do the second fry on the potatoes , heat the canned peas and serve. We were eating in an hour after I walked in the door.

    Breakfast 2023

    Moe wanted an egg salad sandwich on the Pane al Latte bread I baked yesterday.
  14. Baked a loaf of Jim Lahey's Pane al Latte (Milk Bread) yesterday. His recipe is a no knead recipe, but I did a number of stretch and folds with autolyze in between. Very soft bread, perfect for sandwiches. I think we will have hot chicken sandwiches on this bread for dinner.

    Dinner 2023

    Last night I wasn't hungry so I took some spot prawns out of the freezer and had planned to make Moe one of the prawn cocktails that he likes. But instead I made him a Chinese Stir fry of prawns and broccoli in a garlic ginger sauce.
