Baking during Corona

Robbo said:
Came downstairs yesterday morning to two loaves of bread and four baguettes . The baking has been steady at our house.

The three weekends leading up to Christmas my wife baked between 30 and 40 loaves in exchange for donations to Food4Kids Halton. We collected 300 lbs of food for the organization thanks to the generosity of our friends .

That looks amazing. I'd be so fat if I lived at your house.

I sold my snow blower to Mimico Polak and used the dough to buy the silver version of the Cuisinart. Red may be faster but silver idles smoother.

So far it's turned out at least six rosemary focaccia loaves. I had done a few by hand and the kneading got to me. I want to try some other recipes but the focaccia is so good it would be like going from a Goldwing to a Harley.

I suppose I could have gone volume by keeping the snow blower and rigged it to run upside down as a dough mixer.

Have you seen Jamie Oliver's focaccia recipe on YouTube?

I'll check it out. I'm not a huge fan of Oliver but open to new recipes.

The downside is that we are eating the stuff like there's no tomorrow. I pull it out of the oven and half of it disappears.

Interesting observation from a nurse friend of my wife. She is diabetic and monitors her blood sugar closely. I gave her a half loaf and she said it didn't affect her blood sugar.

Our kitchenaid stand mixer is '68 Ford Galaxy teal green. Wife argues its seafoam blue. It doesn't get used often but they are a handy darn machine.

I had no idea Montessa made repair parts.
 
I do a focaccia a couple of times a week, usually with rosemary. For kicks I did a sweet one replacing the rosemary with ground almonds and topped with slivered almonds. A bit of sugar and almond flavouring rounded it up. A brushing of Amaretto after baking set it off. Not too sweet or overpowering.

I thought the Mennonites were pacifists but apparently they just try to kill you with edible ammunition.

I occasionally make Eccles Cakes but have been buying the puff pastry. I've started making my own and it's all butter instead of the mixture of fats and oils in store bought. It's a bit of work and nuisance but worth it. For some reason I get a better bake in the toaster oven than the main one.

Most ovens with digital temp allow calibration. Only single point though so not very helpful in your situation.

I have, somewhere in the crawl space an industrial controller that monitors everything in the circuit and very accurately. Unfortunately it's as big as the toaster oven. As long as I get the results it doesn't matter what oven I use with the toaster one being more convenient.

The evolution of the humble pierogi.

I had a bit of puff pastry dough left over so I made a Puff Pierogi. Puffrogi?

It's baked not boiled. The test batch had potato, cream cheese, herbs, garlic and dill filling. Not bad but hard to wrap my head around a pierogi without the boiled dough envelope.

Then what to put on it? My usual sour cream and pepper didn't sound right so they went commando. Bacon jam would have been good but I was out.

Next time.

Actually in Ukrainian there are two variations of the pierogi. I'm not sure if pierogi is a Polish or Ukrainian word but there is a boiled version and baked version. The word vareniki comes to mind but Anglicizing of words has confused the issue. Eat first, talk later.
