Any Home Bakers Here?

You Guys talked me into it--I am baking bread tonight and I used molasses for the sweetener!

It is Pacific time here so it is not late yet--The bread is about ready to be shaped into loves.

How did your bread turn out last night @ronott1 ?

I'm looking forward to making dinner tonight (a semi-rarity for me to be making it

). We have a bunch of various bits & pieces of cheeses so I'm going to mix them all together for home-made mac & cheese. Nothing like a bit of comfort food when you've had rain off and on for several days in a row.

It is very tasty!

The bread did very well. Toast was very good this morning too.

It's not "baking", but anything that uses 4 cups of flour and 8 eggs and ends up in my tummy works... Garlic basil fettuccine... The last of the sweet basil from the garden

Saving space; I had a 5 gallon bucket FULL of eggs so I made 3 kinds of cookies, some cabbage pocket dough, and finished off with some pasta... 2 dozen eggs gone for the day

That was a busy day in the kitchen but isn't it nice to have all of that done.

Could you please share the pasta recipe?

Oh how rude of me, posting pasta and no recipe lol...

Here it is:

2 cups unbleached flour
2 cups semolina flour
(Room for experimenting with the flour, 4 cups unbleached works fine too)
8 eggs
6 cloves garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup dried basil, or 3/4 cup fresh
1 tsp salt
Water if needed (I would recommend 1/2 cup for anyone above 3000 ft or low humidity)

First is pulsing the oil, garlic, and basil together in s blender, to a paste.

Then, normal operating procedure on making a well in the flour and mixing in eggs one at a time and the oil until well mixed.

Let sit for a half an hour, then pasta it up! We made ravioli too; I liked it better this way because the basil helped the texture of the pasta... I'm going to add more garlic next time, but it was delicious, and most importantly, THE KIDS LOVED IT

My what a busy day!  The pasta looks wonderful.

It's pretty much just really thick pizza dough. I like my cabbage pickets to hold together, so I had to tweak a couple of recipes to make it flexible but strong. Maxi pizza dough

I had to think, because I don't have a recipe for that one lol...

It's about 3 cups of bread flour, a package of dry yeast, a cup of warm water, and a tsp of sugar. I add in honey sometimes in place of the sugar.

Oh and a dash of salt


Edit to add a zero to the altitude adjustment

So for the pasta, you're using the whole egg (not just the yolk)?

Yep, whole egg

I also had to edit that to add a zero to the altitude, but I figured everyone would get it, that it was 3000 ft not 300
