2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 cups Bread Flour
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
Mixed in mixer....let rise 2 hours. Placed on floured board. Pressed flat
with fingers...6 x 8 inch rectangle, fold like a letter with long sides in, flip seam down and let sit about 10 minutes. This is preshape/bench rest makes the loaf taller. After bench rest, flip seam side up, press into rectangle again but this time roll it up,tuck sides under and make
a loaf, then put it into a greased 9 x 5 tin. Let rise to top of tin. Slash
down the middle bake 400 degree oven 25-30 minutes. Remove bread
and let cool on cooling rack. I brush with butter...I like a soft crust.
(This is a new recipe....I immediately mixed another loaf...and mixed
dough together in mixer and set to rise) I like to bake 2 loaves. AriaView attachment 2213682

Well you can feel sorry for me because the cooktop with attached oven/broiler was new in 1931 However, don't feel sorry for me because I LIKE IT! It came with the house in 2011.

The knobs on the Glenwood aren't original, they are common plastic things. The originals are ceramic but I have only 2 and they are broken. Not sure where I can get replacements.

Someone, Jared maybe?, posted a recipe for sourdough English Muffins. I wrote down the ingredients but not the directions and I can't find it in the index. Maybe I'm not looking close enough. Anyone know which recipe I'm talking about or who might have posted it?

PJ’s English Muffins

Ingredients

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 cup sourdough
1/4 cup melted shortening
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the milk, yeast mixture, shortening and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add salt and rest of flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knead. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise.

Punch down. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut rounds with biscuit cutter, drinking glass, or empty tuna can. Sprinkle waxed paper with cornmeal and set the rounds on this to rise. Dust tops of muffins with cornmeal also. Cover and let rise 1/2 hour.

Brown on skillet medium heat then Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an addition 10-15 minutes or until muffins springs back when touched in the center.

Remove the muffins from the pan immediately; place muffins on a wire rack to cool completely.

Anyone got a good recipe for brisket besides corned beef? I want to make corned venison if I get a deer this October, so corned beef is off the list. I don't want to have it too often!

Jarred a very simple (and I usually don't do simple) way to tackle it is put it in a container with Italian salad dressing overnight, turning it frequently. Next morning, season it up like you would a steak (I use a spicy Montreal) and then smoke it for 8 hours.

@rjohns39 remember making the comment that the split top buns were not as easy to shape as Chef John showed on his video? You were right, those things are tricky! The first time I made them yesterday sure are some ugly buns I'll give them another try though at a later date.

They certainly are, but they taste great.
