Any Home Bakers Here?

Apparently tuna melts are in as much as sourdough. I can’t stand to eat tuna often, but a melt actually sounds good.
This is just temptation from the article. One is cheddar, the other is jalapeño jack.

They include recipes. I suppose I should add them.
The following recipe is adapted from The Tinned Fish Cookbook.
Tuna Melt With Ketchup

Serves 2
6-oz. can of oil-packed tuna, drained
¼ cup diced red onion
1 scallion, white and light green parts, finely chopped
3 tbsp. coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tbsp. mayonnaise
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 slices of rustic bread
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
4 slices of sharp Cheddar cheese
Ketchup (recipe follows), or your favorite store-bought bottle
In a medium bowl mix the tuna, red onion, scallion, parsley, mayonnaise, and a few dashes of hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Butter each slice of bread on one side. Divide the tuna mixture on the unbuttered side of 2 bread slices and top with the Cheddar and then the other 2 bread slices, buttered sides up. Warm a griddle or cast-iron skillet over moderate heat and fry the sandwiches, carefully turning once, until the bread is crusty and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Serve hot with ketchup.

Ketchup
Makes about 2 cups
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
½ cup chopped red onion
One 14-oz. can peeled whole tomatoes
1 ½ tbsp. tomato puree
1 tbsp. dark brown sugar, plus more to taste
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and red onion and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar, and vinegar and cook over low heat, breaking up the tomatoes, until thick, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a small blender and puree. Season the ketchup with salt and pepper, and more brown sugar, if desired.

Thanks for sharing the recipe...making Tuna tonight. Aria

Thanks Penny Jo....it is a new Recipe. I like to try new ones. Making the
same recipes becomes boring when I am baking weekly. Since my
neighbor has been grocery shopping for us...I make their family a loaf
of Sourdough Bread to say Thank You. And I think my Sourdough Starter Genesis....is happier and I use and add flour every week. Works
out Great. Aria

Thanks Debby, I think my SDS Genesis is HAPPY. Use it ...add flour
and water and put in refrigerator. Works out GREAT. I let Genesis sit
out just long enough to double....Aria

Looks good I don't eat allot bagels the Son buys them at the franz bakery outlet here rather cheap 1.69.. I do make english muffins for me ..
Trying the Chocolate Chess pie this morning

Bagels are lovely toasted with melted butter and cheese spread. I buy them on the food shop on offer ATM £1 for 5. I've not tried to make them before.
I had to order another 16kg sack of flour today. I'm right at the bottom of the sack my mum got me. I've done a lot of baking recently!

Today I decided to have a go at making bagels. No idea how they taste... We may have one each for supper.

My tuna melt looked good. Unfortunately, I... well, the tuna wasn’t a major brand, and while I was regurgitating, the dog decided to put the rest of the sandwich on a pile of clean laundry.
