Mini loaf

Toast

Made a little loaf in a disposable foil mini loaf pan (which I reuse over and over). Because pork belly is so rich, I decided that they needed to be small sandwiches. With gorgonzola and mayo, and the sandwiches warmed through on Steam Bake for a few minutes, they were so good that I had three.

Cuisinart Convection Steam Oven

Toast

Recently purchased this oven after deciding that the Anova Precision Oven was too big and too finicky (wifi). After reading the very long, 3 part, egullet thread on the Cuisinart Convection Steam Oven, I decided it was perfect for me.

Ciabatta rolls proofing in tubs

Toast

My first post at TFL, blog or otherwise. Long time lurker. My favorite bread is ciabatta and my favorite form is the roll for sandwiches. I was buying the artisan rolls at Costco but wanted lighter, more ciabatta-like rolls. I found that making rolls is a lot harder than making ciabatta slippers, which I was getting pretty good at, thanks to TFL, before switching to rolls.

So I found these little pint size tubs online, 3" square on bottom, 4" square on top, 2 1/2" high, and thought these might work. So far, with 3 bakes, my rolls are more square.
