Processed the tomato made pizza sauce

Okay, I said I wasn't going to admit this. I managed to bake the worst ever loaf that was ever baked ever in this entire world
It was like eating pure salt and it was only a couple of teaspoons. Suffice to say I didn't add a picture here

Marie, I find 1 tsp salt per loaf is about right.

My poor biscuits. Pooooor pooor biscuits. They didn’t turn out right.

We ate them all, but you see they are … well, messed up.
So, my friendly bakers that will refrain from asking me how I messed up such a simple recipe, how did I mess up? Does it look like I just didn’t mix the dough enough? I am using someone else’s kitchen, and I had limited space and tools (I used my hands to mix it in a tiny bowl before turning it out to finish on a small counter), so that is possible.

They'll eat, as my late great MIL used to say. They look delicious!

Did some baking this weekend.

Here are the ingredients recipe I used.

Dough mix for Buns, and fancy rolls
Ingredients:
for the dough:
milk - 300 ml (10.14 fl oz)
yeast - 10 g (0.35 oz)
sugar - 50 g (1.76 oz)
salt - 10 g (0.35 oz)
vanilla sugar - 10 g (0.35 oz)
flour - 600 g (21.16 oz)
eggs - 2 pieces
To leaven 1 h

Play by play.

Rolled into long log, and cut into 12 equal portions.

Rolled flat, and used pizza wheel to make cuts.

This flower bud design uses 2 separate pieces. I divide a dough portion into 2. Rolled one into ball, and second half,, rolled flat, and slit 4 cuts.

For Bowtie shape.

Egg wash and ready to go into oven.

Baked @ 350°F for 20 minutes... They were still kind of blond,, so I added 5 more minutes to give them a nice TAN

On cooling rack.

Notes,,
This was my first time with this dough recipe.. Turned out well... also first time with this creative design work.. Turned out OK, Not as pretty as the You Tube pro did hers

Also baked some cakes. Plum cakes, which I poste recipe not long ago, and a new German Apple Cake.
Here is recipe for that one.

German Apple cake.
Ingredients:
125g butter
125g powdered sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons of baking soda
250 g flour
3 apples
25 g butter for brushing


Bake: 180°C / 356°F 40 mins.
Baking pan size: 21 cm x 27 cm

I altered by using 2 round pans, and dusted with a cinnamon/brown sugar.

My dough and diced apples

First pan, I pushed the apple pieces into the dough by hand.

Second pan,, Pans lined with parchment paper. Easy removal after baking.

Dusted both with the cinnamon/brown sugar.

Baked.. These almost look like pizzas,, about 1 inch high.

Cut up the plum cake, and the apple cake into pieces.. Dusted with powdered sugar,, and took to B-day fiesta celebration.

Notes..
First time doing this apple cake recipe. I baked in 2 pans that I thought would work well. All did work out well,,,, My concern about using just one pan,, was,,,,,,, Cake would rise too high, for the pan. In hindsight, and for next time,,, will use one pan, and end up with a thicker cake.

Hello bakers, I hope you’re all fantastic! I’ve been revamping a few of my favorite recipes and made a batch of @N F C gluten free pb chocolate chip cookies with a couple of modifications today. Still super delicious. Recently made another cake in my instant pot for the fam. They’ll usually eat about half at a time so have been freezing slices for treats whenever. Anyway, just wanted to say hello, take care all.

Same to you. I always wonder where is Debby? She left the group? Hello and take care.

Hi Bakers. Have not baked in a while except a batch of Tollhouse cookies recently. Nobody home but me and TheMan, but with cooler weather I hope to again soon. Nice catching up with all you again. Jared, sorry to hear you were under the weather for a bit, glad you are better. Best wishes for hunting success. LOVED your space pictures, they're amazing! Gonna be cold here, next three mornings low 20's. Brr! Rich, keep those beautiful rolls coming, you inspire! Ronott, what would we do without your knowledge and advice when things go wrong? Bakers, I need a good yeast pizza recipe, one that doesn't stick to the board. Who can help me? Thanks!
