Any Home Bakers Here?

She’s growing her own Roma tomatoes to make ketchup. Ooooone problem. She eats food without ketchup here. I offer it, but she eats everything plain.

Me and Duckling, I only plant Roma Tomato and when I buy I only buy
Roma Tomato Sauce. Love Roma. Aria

@snapdragon I asked for a little scale for Christmas so I could weigh my eggs! Since then I’ve really enjoyed it for other things too.

That is why I got my scale. It is a Kamenstein. Reads in kilos, grams, pounds, ounces. But in grams only even numbers so all my eggs weigh an even number of grams even if the don't But close enough. It has a tare feature which makes adding things to a mixing bowl by weight easy. Put the bowl on, turn on the scale. Dump in the proper amount of 1 ingredient, turn scale off then back on, repeat as needed. No math necessary

Thanks Ron...super instruction. Going to try this soon. Will keep you
posted. Another Sourdough Adventure coming up. Thanks Again, Aria

I've made it twice, didn't rise nearly as well as Ron's. He suggested adding more starter (it uses VERY little) or some yeast. Amazon says my dutch oven is coming Sunday so I'll be trying the Champlain again on Monday.

If she has her pop up blocker turned on, the link will not pop up for her. Most pop up blockers allow you to designate which pop up you wish to allow while blocking all others.

I use Chrome and AdBlock and have no problem with the Google sheet. I hover the mouse over the blue number and the link shows up, then I move the mouse over the link and click.

I made Sourdough English muffins Tues afternoon. Substituted 1/2 whole wheat flour as usual. I had the griddle a bit too hot so some of them got a little extra "toasted" on the outside. But they look right on the inside and taste good (other than a little char). I cut them out with an egg ring since the biggest cutter we have is only 2.5". Not sure why they came out different sizes!

English Muffins are so good!

For the Champlain bread, try adding 20G more flour too. It is harder to work with high hydration bread

I have those blasted things we never figured out what they are 3 1/2 inches make great size english muffins.. I do bake mine after they are browned for like 12 minutes at 375 .. I do not like a doughy center

I think some of the recipes do that combo of fry then bake. Seems like one would easily skip the accidental charring. I tested with a thermometer, inside temp 200°F. No worries about a hole in the side of an English muffin since you fork split them anyway.

I griddle english muffins. You do have to be careful of the heat, turn them often and move them to different places on the griddle

Good afternoon all. No baking for me recently, although I'm making meatloaf tonight so there's that. I have a scale, love to use it when baking. I weigh dry ingredients and also dough when I make rolls or buns.

I'd like to start a sourdough starter. Can I use half APF and half sprouted wheat?
