Baking with Julia: White Loaves
2012-02-07 17:42:00 I am back on Tuesdays with Dorie. Two years I baked with the group through Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours. I gave up baking, because I couldn't bake at least 2 recipes a month. Now the group starts with another book: Baking with Julia: Sift, Knead, Flute, Flour, And Savor.... You have only to bake once a month to stay a group member, I think, that could work for me and my family. If I have ever needed a reason to buy a new cookbook, joining the group again is a good one. The first recipe from the book has been chosen by Laurie and Jules. It's the recipe on pages 81-82 White Loaves Simple but tasty white loaves,which also taste great if toasted. I am still a friend of scales and metric units, so here we are: -=========REZKONV-Recipe - RezkonvSuite v1.4Title: White LoavesCategories: Baking, Bread, YeastYield: 2 Loaves à 650 g Ingredients 600grams Wasser, 40,5 °C - 46 °C875grams Wheat flour Type 55018grams Salt57grams Butter7g-rams Dry yeast15gram...

However, if you are looking for something a little different this year, give pumpkin spice cake a try.

A Field Guide to Flour: Navigate the Baking Aisle at Your Grocery Store
2010-02-18 06:32:00 Recipe: Focaccia Bread with Rosemary & Onions When I bake from scratch, there is something gratifying about spending three hours in the company of a humming KitchenAid stand mixer and a preheating oven, my once pristine shirt covered in flour because, once again, I forgot to put an apron on before you started kneading. Part of the allure of baking from scratch is taking what was once a pile of raw ingredients - all inedible on their own - gets transformed by your own very hands into something that tastes so good that people will remember it long after they've wiped the crumbs away....
Lion?s Baking Powder Commercial (video)
2009-10-04 06:59:00 Call it nostalgia but it’s hard to convince me that the local commercials of the 80’s and 90’s didn’t have a certain ’something’ that the current set lacks. There was something very magnetic about the hooks and taglines back then. Lion’s Baking Powder had a long running advertising campaign that really drilled home that not only would they make your breads lighter, you would also somehow now be magically linked to an unbroken family tree of local culinary traditions. I’m not sure how that worked but it did. To this ... Related posts:Mid-80’s Stag Commercial (video)1987 Malta Carib Commercial (video)Malta Carib Commercial “Learning” (video)

Baking soda For Magical Kidney Disease
2009-08-04 18:37:00 Baking soda as you know the materials to make the cake, now also can be used to reduce pain in people with kidney failure. Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate can be drastically slow the slowdown in part on the kidney function of patients. This result presented by researchers from the Royal London Hospital. Each year, around 400 people with kidney failure died due to waiting too long from the kidney transplant donors be regarded a little. It is long since the doctors are considering using baking soda for people with kidney disease who generally lack bicarbonate, or a condition called metabolic acidosis.Research that has been published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) involved 134 patients who suffered from cronic kidney disease (CKD) or chronic kidney disease with a low bicarbonate level. As the main form of treatment, and patients given sodium bicarbonate in the tablet form of a small dose each day. After more than a year of use, setbacks kidney function ca...
Sauerteig-Crumpets
2009-07-29 11:02:00 Die Frage von Johanna, ob ich denn schon einmal von Sauerteig-Crumpets gehört hätte, beantwortete ich mit einem Rezept von King Arthur Flour. Wie sie halte ich meinen Voratsstarter immer separat und in kleinen Mengen, so dass ich selten eine ausreichend große Menge vernachlässigten Weizensauerteig vorrätig habe. Da ich aber meine ursprüngliche Brotback-Planung geändert hatte, konnte ich das empfohlene Rezept jetzt selbst ausprobieren. Die Sauerteig-Crumpets sind wirklich schnell gemacht und schmecken - hier mit Butter und schwarzem Johannisbeer-Gelee - einfach super. Das für die Herstellung verwendete Natron neutralisiert einen Teil der Säure im Starter, so dass der Geschmack angenehm säuerlich ist. Die Zeit der Thunfischdosen als Crumpetringe sind auch vorbei, denn ich besitze 4 original britische Crumpetringe, die mir Johanna als "Belohnung" für den Versand von Sauerteigen und Nachhilfestunden im Brotbacken geschickt hat. ==========REZKONV-Rezept - RezkonvSuit...

Bica Mantecada - geküsster Butterkuchen
2009-04-07 19:36:00 Über die Bilder von Friends of Glass bin ich über diesen Blog gestolpert. Bei Bica Mantecada lief mir sofort das Wasser im Munde zusammen und ich habe Frau Zorra um Rat gefragt. Die Hilfe kam prompt: Bica ist eine Spezialität aus Ourense (Galizien). Woher der Name stammt, ist nicht sicher. Bico bedeutet auf Galizisch Kuss. Ursprünglich wurde Bica mit Brotteig gemacht, dem nebst dem Schweineschmalz auch süße Zutaten zugegeben wurden. Nachdem ich heute auf dem Wochenmarkt XL Eier erstanden habe, stand dem geküssten Butterkuchen oder besser Bica Mantecada nichts mehr im Wege. Da im Rezept keine Springformgröße angegeben war, habe ich den Kuchen zuerst in eine Springform mit 24 cm Durchmesser gefüllt, damit zwei Formen nebeneinander passen habe ich die 2. Teighälfte in eine Srpingform mit 20 cm gegeben. Ideal wären meiner Meinung nach zwei Springformen mit 22 cm Durchmesser. Herausgekommen sind zwei sehr leckere, saftige Kuchen, wovon der eine schon aufgegessen ist. Die Herren...

Fritatta
2009-01-16 14:22:00 Fritatta is something I have always been fascinated with but never cooked. For that matter until a few days back I had not even tasted a fritatta. But somehow it just always managed to catch my attention from pictures in food magazines and food blogs and of course food shows on TV. On one of my shopping trips I even bought a oven proof pan particularly with the intention of making a fritatta. I just loved the idea of eating a big fat omellete filled with all kinds of delicious veggies, cheeses and mushrooms.Well last week I was at the surgery (that's what a doctor's dispensary is called in UK) to see my GP . ( Reason for which was I had a nasty fall 2 weeks back and have been making quite a few trips to the doctor's for treatment on my leg which I hurt very badly.) So while I was sitting in the waiting area for my name to appear on the electronic display I was browsing through a magazine and once again my attention was drawn to a very yummy pic of fritatta. I memorised the ingred...

Bread Baking Day #14: Coloured Breads - Pumpkin Seed Bread
2008-11-11 12:06:00 Boaz from Grainpower chose coloured breads for the 14 th editon of Bread Baking Day. The only limitation is that whatever gives the bread colour must be natural. No problem, I like the colour which Hokkaido Pumpkins give to the bread crumb. The whole family liked it. I have already baked breads with pumpkin puree but neither this nor this had this wonderful colour. Unfortunately I had to take a picture from the whole bread with artificial light. The recipe is easy. I made a preferment from 125 g all-purpose flour (Weizenmehl 550) , 150 g water, 1/8 tsp dried yeast. About 16 h later I added 250 g pumpkin puree, 375 g all-purpose flour, 30 g toasted pumpkin seeds, 1 tsp. dried yeast and 10 g salt. Knead until the dough comes together and adjust the water or flour amount if necessary. Let rest until doubled in volume, form a boule and proof until a finger print doesn't come out quick.

Nankatai (Earthquake cookies ??)
2008-11-06 21:24:00 I was asked a couple of days back by my son's teacher if I would like to come to school to celebrate Diwali Day. They were celebrating it a little after Diwali as the school had it's half term break exactly during the Diwali break. I was asked whether I would be interested in doing some cooking so that the children could have a taste of some Indian food. I was definitely interested and it really got me thinking as to what I could make. It had to be something that children found attractive , didn't take too much time to cook and had an Indian touch to it. Making Diwali snacks was totally out of question as we all know that most of the snacks that we prepare for Diwali are very very time consuming and also require concentration.So I asked Google for advice and I also did some blog hopping but finally the idea came completely on it's own accord . " Nankatai": The delicious Indian cookie. I knew it was a great idea as it is quick to make does not require too many ingredients and as ...

Bread Baking Buddy: SÛKERBÔLLE - Suikerbrood - Frisian sugerbread - Zucke
2008-10-06 04:39:00 Bread Baking Babes' Kitchen of the month is located in the Netherlands. Monique from Living on Bread and Water chose an ancient recipe for Sûkerbôlle, a Frisian sugarbread. The recipe calls for sugar grains/lumps and ginger syrup. The latter was easy to get but the largest sugar grains I can get in Germany is hailstone sized Hagelzucker. Of course we have lump-sugar, which I don't use, but the decorating sugar I have always at hand. This sugar doesn't give these big holes in the crumb, but it looks nice on the bread. In Schleswig-Holstein, where I live, we have also a Frisian part: Nordfriesland or North Frisia. And of course we have those beautiful black and white cows, the Holstein-Friesian. We don't have any cows in our backyard like Tanna, but I was able to take a picture with cows ;-) ... ... no chance for them to move. The children were fond of this bread and asked for more, so I have to bake it soon again. The recipe can be found over at Monique, fortunat...

Simply Delicous Eggless Semolina Cake
2008-09-29 11:16:00 I have for a long time now been on the lookout for a good recipe for eggless cake and there are a quite a few on the net. Some advise the use of extra baking soda and some instruct you to use sparkling soda water. I even went looking for those egg replacement substitutes in my food store but could not get my hands on any. So I tried my hand at one recipe which had a substantial amount of soda-bi-carb in it. What happened was initially the cake rose beautifully but a few minutes after I had removed iy from the oven it fell flat. So flat that it got a stodgy texture and was simply impossible to eat. Even my 6 year old son who normally eats anything sweet quite happily refused to accept this one. So I gave up on it for some time.Some days back though when I was planning the menu for a tea time get together for my friends I recollected this awesome eggless semolina cake that my aaji (granny) used to make in a non-stick pan when I was a child. At that time the concept that my aaji could ...

Tropical Apricot Bread
2008-08-17 10:00:00 If you think that when it comes to bread your choices are white or wheat I'm going to expand your mind a bit today. One of my favorite little cook books that I picked up more than a dozen years ago at a Sam's Club down in North Dakota is Entrees from Your Bread Machine by Donna Rathmell German.It's not fancy, it's not big--no pictures--and cost me all of something like $5 but it's been a terrific investment because I've used so many recipes from that cook book over the years. Here's a modified recipe from one of the many terrific bread recipes in that book. Note that there isn't a lot of sugar added to the dough because the nectar and dried fruit has so much sugar already.1 1/2 cups apricot nectar2 tablespoons butter1 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon sugar3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour3/4 tablespoon of yeast1 cup (give or take) of diced, dried tropical fruit mix (mine had shaved coconut, mango, papaya, pineapple and raisins)Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature then pu...

Cassata Alian Sicilian - Baking With Friends
2008-07-22 07:35:00 As promised, here is one of the desserts Chris and I tackled while she was visiting this past weekend, a Cassata Cake, as part of another Bakenista get together. I have to admit that I would have probably passed on this Bakenista shing-ding if Chris had not been in my kitchen. Not much time left for "fun baking-just because" these days and not much room left in the fridge for a big cake like this. We had not really planned to bake that early together again but it looks like the folks at King Arthur got word of our little Skype chats and got interested to check out how we were baking live while spread across the US. Halley, from the King Arthur Test Kitchens blended right in and seemed to enjoy the experience, and it seems that we were all trying to be on our best behaviour!!From my end, the experience was even better since I had another Bakenista in the kitchen and Italian to boot...how fitting when making an Italian classic, isn't it?!

Bread Baking Day #12: Small Breads - Stout, Oat and Honey Knots
2008-07-21 09:09:00 Aparna from My Diverse Kitchen chose small breads for this month's edition of Bread Baking Day. Small bread means "Brötchen" in German and there is a wide choice. The "Brötchen" I have already baked you'll find here. I like small breads with whole grains or other grains than wheat. This recipe sounded interesting and just right for this event. A pint of stout awaits a slice of bread and butter, this bread combines all. Again I bought some stout and began to bake. While baking a great smell spread over the kitchen. My family couldn't wait to try the knots, for example with roastbeef and for the vegetarians with cheese The recipe was easy to follow, my oats were already browned within 5 minutes, than the oats began to smoke. I used whole meal spelt. There is a video which shows how to make the knots. -=========REZKONV-Recipe - RezkonvSuite v1.4Title: Stout, Oat and Honey KnotsCategories: Bread, YeastYield: 1 Recipe Ingredients 75grams Rolled oats500ml Stout or ot...

Bread Baking Buddy: Breadchick's Dark Onion Rye
2008-06-24 10:31:00 Bread Baking Babes' Kitchen of the month is located at Mary from The Sourdough. Mary chose a mixed rye bread (52/48) with molasses and onions. As a German food chemist I can't name this a pumpernickel. The German Pumpernickel is accurately defined in the guidelines for baking goods, they have a legal character. You may only call a bread Pumpernickel, if it meets this standard: Pumpernickel wird aus mindestens 90 Prozent Roggenbackschrot und/oder Roggen-vollkornschrot mit Backzeiten von mindestens 16 Stunden hergestellt. Wird Pumpernickel aus Vollkornschrot hergestellt, so stammt die zugesetzte Säuremenge zu mindestens zwei Dritteln aus Sauerteig. That means 90 % of the flour must be (whole) rye and it must be baked at least for 16 hours. Karen and Lien had to overcome some difficulties with their rye flours. I never had difficulties to duplicate an American recipe. I always substitute Roggenmehl Type 997 for light rye, Roggenmehl Type 1150 for medium rye and whole rye for d...
