I hope I'm not the only one who does some strange experiments? Like useing frozen pizza dough for a pate fermentee!! I made french bread and another Daisy Ring yeasted coffee cake this time with Almond Paste filling. They both tasted very good, lots of pleasing flavors in the both the bread and the yeasted coffee cake!
I love making pizza and it's done pretty often around my house..indoors and in the wfo. So all these pizza's on TFL lately have really been giving me the craving! I used the Neo-Neapolitan Pizza Dough recipe from PR American pie book. I made dough with KAAP and KAB flours. This is a recipe that makes a thin crisp crust with airy pockets in the crown. Usually I make a thicker crust for use with heavier toppings like sausage or pepperoni and the extra cheeses and tomato that we like...but this time wanted the heavier toppings with the Thin and Crispy crust...It's
Something a little sweet for my daughter! She loves brownies/chocolate. These small brownies are full of chocolate and sprinkled with a little expresso powder.

Today I made Daniel T. DiMuzio's Olive Oil Bread and I have placed on order his new book. Daniel and Floyd's photo's/write-up really encouraged me to bake this bread. The bread turned out lovely. It was very easy to make and went quite well with our Scampi Diablo Pasta dinner tonite. I used Rosemary from my tiny new plant I picked up at the nursery the other day.

I wanted a nice loaf to go with a variety of cheeses and this made a nice choice...like it says thinly sliced it makes a nice compliment to cheeses. It's delicious, I think the grated walnuts in the dough, plus the fact that I have access to some very fresh nuts in my area made this bread even more tastier. The crust also has a very pleasing crunch, chew and lot's of flavor. The crumb was pleasing and
It's been so long since I baked in a loaf pan. This is just a simple recipe out of my Zo breadmachine book that I hand mixed useing 5 grain cereal mix and added some K.A. organic white wheat and Bread Flour, reduced the yeast and added a little sourdough. This is what I got...nice and tender sandwich loaf with a bit of fiber and a nice flavor.
Well it's Good Friday and time for some Hot Cross Buns and good memories! Mom made Hot Cross Buns all year round. They were a favorite to take on their weekly fishing trips. Back in the 70's I gave her a recipe for them I found in my Sunset Magazine's Bread recipe book...I still have it! Today I tweeked the recipe and added some K.A.
