I just received this book and am wondering about the pizza dough recipe on page 190. She says it is enough for 2 people but it sure doesn't look like enough dough to me.

@Ann_T does the rye flour have to be organic? I never use rye flour so having to buy a whole bag would be a waste whereas I can just buy what I need from Bulk Barn.

This is great, I'm really enjoying this. Wonderful photographs. Thank you for taking the time to share your trip with us.

Fascinating. Thank you.

I made another Pain de Mie today. I was going to do the Dutch Crunch buns but noticed we were out of bread so made that instead. Folks - if making Pain de Mie don't forget to grease the lid!😳

I didn't think I'd be back here so soon......😳 I shall never again put bread dough in my 13" Pullman pan without spraying the lid with oil. You bake it with the lid on for 1/2 hour with the lid on and 1/2 hour with the lid off. After the first half hour, it was a b...h to get off.

Welcome to the forum.

I count 8 rolls. Having read that this recipe makes 6 large ones, I too wondered about making a few more than that. Are yours the right size for burgs? I plan on trying my hand at them today, and will post about it on the bread topic.

I just ordered The Bread Bible by Rose Levy Berenbaum and it arrives tomorrow. I was surprised that when I used the "look inside" feature, it displayed page after page of this book including full recipes. Therefore, I was even more surprised that the Index was not. However, I know I will like the book so I went ahead and ordered it anyway.

If you are going to add water, ( and you may have already thought of this) I would use a spray bottle.

I agree 100%. Unless I'm really, really sure I want the book, if there is not an index that means I can't really see what I am buying = no sale.

I managed to finish off the rest of a pork loin and a top sirloin steak. Going in is some pork schnitzel and 1 package of chicken thighs. In my defense, I was out of chicken thighs.

You almost have me wanting some.

I share your dislike of BS but I like pears. I was raised the same way.

I love pork with apples and mustard. Can you share the recipe for the sauce?

We had wings. Just wings. They were huge.

I deep fried these jumbo wings using the Control Freak. They were cooked at 375F and went in straight from the fridge. I was amazed at how quickly the oil came back to it's temperature, I'd say within 2 minutes. Also, it was nice to just put them in the oil, set the timer and walk away until my timer went off.

Off to get a clothes hanger..........

@Anna N You guys eat the most interesting food!

@rotuts Those spuds look really good. Which setting and what temp do you use?

I shall never again leap off the bed, collar my husband for help, get him to start cooking while I do the other required prep, apologize for "overnapping" as I put the finishing touches on the dish without taking a second look at my watch. I had put it on upside down and it was an hour and a half earlier than I thought it was, 5:15 instead of 6:45. We usually eat around 6:30 so lots of time. Good thing it is a casserole type dish.

I tried searching the forum but couldn't find it. Anyway, I now have rice flour so will attempt to make it. I will post my findings on the bread topic.

Those look amazing.

@MetsFan5 Thanks for the idea of the puff pastry appetizer. I have a sheet of puff pastry in the freezer so I think I'll try this. Can't see trying to sprinkle the garlic and herbs over it though, probably easier to just mix it with the tomato sauce. I too would prefer mozzarella. Edited to add: I bet puff pastry topped with muffaletta mix wouldn't go amiss either.

Can you elaborate on your experience? I want to try it too and it would be helpful to know what happened with yours.
