Any Home Bakers Here?

I don’t can much….I don’t own a pressure canner for those foods that need one. But for soups, stews, stocks - anything where I have a lot leftover - that’s when my Foodsaver earns its spot on the countertop. I bag whatever it is, freeze it overnight with the bags standing up, and the next morning I vacuum and seal the bags. Since the liquids are already frozen, I don’t have to worry about the moisture getting into my Foodsaver.

I use my vacuum sealer for everything.

I have some meat balls and sausage links in the freezer that need to be vacuum sealed.

Darn you can make a trip to Florida next year?

If I go anywhere it would be to So. Cal to visit my family. You could ship it to me with freezer packs though, right?

In our home , we place in zip lock baggies, and freeze. Then pull out whatever quantity we need, and instant dinner available.

Yeah, cool. That'll work, thanks.

Millet bread

 

[BigBlueHen53]

I didn't know you could make bread out of millet! Recipe, please?

 

[MotherofOrpies]

Boil 160 g millet with 240 ml water, simmer on low for about 24 minutes, set aside til it’s cooled off, then knead 1 kg spelt flour ( I used whole wheat) 300 ml yogurt, 500 ml water , the cooked millet, 50 g sourdough, 1 teaspoon honey and 2 teaspoons of salt . The first 2 hours, knead every hour and let rise after that covered in a refrigerator for about 22 hrs. Gently separate into 2 loaves and let rise for another hour, then bake at 250c in a dutch oven or ironcast pot for 10 minutes , 35 minutes at 200 c, take off lid and bake another 10 minutes
