Any Home Bakers Here?

Ended up with a full (to the top) gallon jar plus another quart and a half of deep brown, rich beef stock. Both containers are in the fridge overnight. Tomorrow I’ll pull the cold fat off the top, pour it all through cheesecloth one more time to pull any sediment that may have settled to the bottom, and get it all in Food Saver bags for the freezer.

Guess I’d better get some flour ordered. I’m almost out of 00, have just enough White Lily self-rising to fill the biscuit bowl one more time, and I need both AP and bread flour too, although those last two aren’t low enough for panic to set in. Yet. Thanks for the heads-up!

With that beautiful new pantry you should learn to pressure can your stock. It's really easy and so are dried beans.

Bakers good morning one and all!

The temperature is 73 and sunny.

Have a great day!

Funny…,I’ve used pressure cookers - stovetop and digital - for years and years. But pressure canners intimidate the peewaddin’ outta me. I have a cousin who uses his all the time. He tried to show me how “simple” it is, but all that watching for jiggles and adjustments and tightening the side bolts in the right order had my eyes glazing over. I may have even developed a tic….

6° in sunny here.

Didn’t get around to making Colby, going to try sometime when I have time to make it.

By the way, I finally found the sheet music I’ve been trying to find for months. It’s called the “little“ fugue in G minor by Bach. BWV 578. It’s for organ.

I love baking! My favorite tool for proofing is my instapot. I set my bowl of dough in top on colder days and set it to Yogurt for either 30 min and up to 2 hours depending on how cold the house is. It's never failed me!

I'm making crusty rustic bread this morning right now and it's nice and warm on my "proofer"

I woke to the sight of my sd starter sitting next to the bed. I now have the dough proofing in the oven I actually had to preheat (and let cool) first. The light and steaming pot of water are not enough to get the oven above sixty for long.

Welcome! Glad to have you with us!

Kind of a funky loaf because it stuck to the proving basket liner and I didn’t slash it deep enough on the left.

It’s probably edible though so I do not care

The bread looks good to me!
