Any Home Bakers Here?

Fortunately, we aren't big on steak anyway. But if the avatar brought me some luck, so be it!

DH wants beef stroganoff for his b-day. I've never made it, have any of you? I sure could use some pointers!
You can use round steak for real beef stroganoff.

Hello! I introduced myself here probably 6 weeks + ago, but we just moved and I have been super busy. The new house is more or less put together, so I baked bread tonight. I haven't made any in ages, but it turned out great. A few months ago, I must have bought a bum jar of yeast. After three failed attempts at this well used recipe, I got discouraged and gave up for a while. Just bought some new yeast packets, and now I am good to go!

It is the most simple recipe, no kneading, and the dough gets rolled out flat and then rolled up like a jelly roll before a last 30 minute rise (pretty sure I saw the same recipe posted on this thread, but I can post it if anyone is interested). Before I did the jelly-roll part, I sprinkled on some salt, fresh ground pepper, dried basil and oregano, parmesan cheese, and a tiny touch of garlic powder. I had some with butter (quality control, you know), and it was so tasty. Tomorrow, we will use it for tuna melts with sharp cheddar for lunch.

I was in a baking mood, so I made some dog biscuits, too. Beef flavored, but I did it the lazy way and used some Better Than Bouillion for the flavoring. The dogs don't seem to mind my laziness, though.

Edit: Recently, my husband has been making noise about how much he loves beef stroganoff, so I will definitely have to try out one of the above recipes. It's not my favorite meal, but he will be ever so pleased.

Hi @happy-bird , nice to have you back! Congrats on getting a new place, that is a lot of work.

Your bread with the seasonings sounds good, I'd like to see your recipe.
 
@ronott1 , thank you for the stroganoff recipe! It doesn't look too hard, I'll give it a try next week for DH's b-day and let you know how it turns out. Might not post a picture though, stroganoff photos just aren't that pretty, lol.
 
@happy-bird

I would love to see the no-knead bread recipe.

Also, would like to hear how you do the tuna melts.

Glad you are back on-line.


@NorthFLChick

Good luck on the Stroganoff….but IMO it will be easier than the things you bake.

Hey @happy-bird , I thought about your bad yeast problem when I saw this picture!
