Bake anything good lately?

Let's start a new thread...the "What'cha Bake Lately?" thread was getting way too long.

Alrighty. Yesterday I made Oat wheat bread.

Basically, it's my Oat Raisin recipe sans the cinnamon and raisins. I used 1/3 whole wheat and the rest regular unbleached.

That's a nice loaf, Len. Did you need to adjust the liquids any?

Made filled breads a couple of weeks ago. Two for my wife: (1) ham and Comte and (2) Genoa salami and provolone. Both the ham and salami are nitrite-free. One for me: pepperoni and mozzarella.



Freezer is packed right now, so I haven't baked in a bit. Don't even know if we'll do a turkey next week since I have no place to freeze Brunswick stew and turkey soup.

RAG, that's difficult to answer. I made it from memory and when I was mixing it I realized I got the amount of flour wrong (too little) so I ended up adjusting that.

PaulO, those filled breads sound interesting, makes for some fast and easy lunches.

Hey Paul,

Brunswick Stew? I don't see that gorgeous concoction much outside the deep South. How'd you run up on it?

Around here, families camp near crossroads and cook stew all night, stirring large iron pots full of it with boat paddles (I've done that myself, once). We love to fight over what goes into it. If yoiu find a lima bean or a potato in your bowl, you're supposed to holler, "get a rope!"

My mother-in-law is from the Hampton / Newport News, VA area. We make my wife's late aunt Thelma's recipe.

My in-laws met at Langley Air Force base in the 1950s.

At work I have been busy, Monday I took Muffin Mix, added the leftover Oatmeal and diced up some pears. Trying to frugal. Yesterday was Apple Crisp, I used Freezer Apple Pie Filling - OAMC, for the filling, made the filling back in October with some donated apples. I had extra crisp topping so I used that today on some muffins I made. I used Apple Oatmeal Muffins, and made a bunch of changes. Omitted the oatmeal, added a little more flour, omitted the apples, added 1/2 a frozen plum diced, and omitted the nutmeg.

Then made homemade pizza, 3 industrial-sized baking sheet, 6 kinds of pizza. I don't know where the dough recipe came from hubby had written it down on a scrap of paper, it is a nice dough so I use it when I want a yeast dough.

I made:
Ham, Pineapple
Ham, Bacon, Pineapple
Ham, Peppers, Onion, Mushroom
Pepperoni
Pepperoni, Bacon, Ham
Pepperoni, Mushroom, Onion, Peppers

Then after cleaning up I got baking the Gingersnap Cookie dough I made on Tuesday. I ended up making 1 under 13 dozen cookies, one ball fell on the floor, I would have had an even 13 dozen. The cookies are heading to the freezer, they are for our Christmas Concert on Dec 8. I have about 3 other kinds of cookies to make (10-20 dozen of each), 2 kinds quick breads (made in hotel pans instead of bread pans), and 13 dozen tart shells to fill still, thinking Buttertart and maybe Pumpkin.

Then this weekend at home I made Oatmeal White Chocolate Craisin Cookies, the recipe was on the Craisin package. I doubled that for cookies for this week. Then tonight I realized there were a bunch of pears in the frig so I made Pear Crisp.

I made a loaf of whole spelt bread this week, adding one T of potato starch to a no-knead loaf with pretty rapid rise, the active dry yeast got it going good. The entire loaf was consumed in one sitting by my fellowship.
4 c. flour, 1 T honey, 1 1/2 T olive oil, 1 1/2 c room temp water,2 tsp salt, scant T yeast. Mix, cover, let stand 6 hours, punch down once, wait two hours, form a loaf and let rise another 45 minutes, bake.

[Red Apple Guy]

I'm a fan (and frequent baker) of French bread and that coffee cake is amazing. I gained wt just reading the recipe.

I made the French bread for Onion Soup but didn't like the recipe so will try another.
Which one do you use?
