Any Home Bakers Here?

[Aria]

So do I. You can’t do any safe solar viewing with clouds.

By the way, no harvest on my black bear tag.

Jared YOU are so talented. NEAT. It is so rewarding to know and
do ....as much as you. ENJOY and Appreciate it. Regards, Aria

@jnicholes Does that mean that your bear season is over now?

I have family in Idaho - they just moved out of Caldwell to Mackay. My BIL got his antelope and muley; my Sister got her muledeer doe. Their freezer is full, lol.

BIL had shoulder surgery - so no duck hunting for him for a while.

Black Bear season is over now. It’s OK, though. I still got my elk tag.

Deer season is almost over for my unit also, though.

My friend cut up the chicken for last night’s dinner. This is unlike her since she can’t stand seeing raw chicken. I heard her exclaim over blood she saw. I thought she got over it. Nope. She gave the dog more chicken than all three humans had combined.
In other news, I got a pumpkin cooked down, and put into freezer bags. I miss my pressure canner.

What happened to your pressure canner?

Planning to bake yeast bread tomorrow. Brought flour out of freezer so it will be at room temp for a change! Whole wheat, all purpose and bread flour are what I like to use. Should make five loaves unless I decide to make cinnamon rolls out of part of it ...

Baked 2 pizzas and 2 small loaves of bread. From same batch of dough.
Recipe for dough I posted before.
Loaves cooling on rack.

This is the process I did on the top loaf. Flattened the dough, I did not use a rolling pin,, just my fingertips. . Dusted surface with Italian Seasoning. Rolled up, and dusted top with Parmesan Cheese. Lately I like to make the slashes with a pair of scissors. Have a designated pair in my kitchen utensil drawer.

Cross section of top loaf.

The second lower loaf in top picture, is plain, 2 tubes side by side, and slashed with scissors.
I baked in oven @350°F for about 35 minutes,, until slightly tanned, and inside temp was 205°F with thermometer.
I usually bake bread @ 425°F , and @ 450-460°F if inside Dutch oven.
Went with the lower temp,, because just 2 small loaves, and did not want to risk burning, by my oversight.
Lower temperature = just longer bake time.

Lets title this,, FRUIT FILLED YEAST RAISED CAKES.
Baked some Yeast raised individual round Danish style cakes, topped with Cherry pie filling. Also from same dough 2 ,, bread loaf pan,, cakes, with pineapple chucks. Both pineapple, and cherry filling from cans.

The dough,, I experimented with, and came up with my own recipe. After making/baking this type of dough, one gets a feeling for what is needed, and in what proportions.
I kept track of amounts of ingredients.

1000 grams,, Fine cake flour,, Mine came in small bag
and I used whole bag 1 Kilo
175 grams, sugar
175 grams Yogurt. Common size, and I used Peach flavor.
I envelope Vanilla sugar. 1 TSP of liquid is equivalent.
2 cups of milk.
Whole eggs. I used 8 small eggs, because that is what my bantams lay.
I weighed all and total was 280 grams. 5 large eggs equivalent
165 grams butter. about one and half sticks.
Pinch of salt.
3 TSP yeast.
After I had everything mixed , I noticed I needed to add more flour.
Added about 1 cup of All purpose,, until I liked the consistency of dough.

For streusel I used;
I stick of butter. 115 grams
1 cup sugar.
1 ½ cups AP flour.


After second rise, I placed cherry pie filling into cavities/indentations of these rounds.

Sprinkled with streusel

Baked @350° for 30 minutes. They are well tanned. Next time I will pull out at 25 minutes

The 2 loaves, I pushed into dough pineapple chunks. One can did both loaves. The chunks were well drained. Let rise and then topped with streusel .

Topped with streusel, and baked @350°F for 45 minutes. Checked with thermometer until internal temp was about 200°F and thermometer probe came out clean.

Notes.
The cakes came out delicious
The dough inside is not as yellow as my previous baked cakes.
Reason,,,,, I used whole eggs. ( likely why I needed to add extra flour)
In my previous cakes, the egg ratio was 5 egg yolks, and one whole egg.
