Any Home Bakers Here?

[ronott1]

Did some more baking today.. Only difference,,, I did it in my BBQ grill outside. The AC would have a hard time keeping up with a 500°F oven indoors.
Here is a link to what I previously made.
Herb Bread.

This is garlic chive. It is different than bulb garlic that produces green shoots referred to as scapes. I guess scapes would work also.

I chopped just 2 pickles, and all the garlic chive I picked. I TS salt, 1 TBS Italian Seasoning, and one stick of butter. For 2 loaves.

This is how it looked when spread, before I rolled it up, and cut into 8 pieces.

I first baked a couple of pizzas,, Done in under 10 minutes.

Lowered the flame from high to low,, and baked the bread.
View attachment 3186772
The refractory was sooo heated, the temperature in grill stayed at 500 °F the whole duration of bread baking,,, even though I LOWERED to smallest flame. Was done in 15 minutes. I used an internal thermometer, and it indicated internal bread temp of over 210°F
Took it out since it was nicely tanned at that point.
In home oven, at 350°F it takes me about 35 minutes.
Any guesses if I sampled it before it cooled ???

Nice!

Not a 100% match for the thread, but I tried putting potato pancake batter in the old Tupperware hamburger molds, and it’s working wonderfully. I cook from a frozen state, and only had a problem when I overheated the skillet. View attachment 3186966

They look perfect to me!

Even for quarts of tomatoes? I'd be afraid I'd drop it.

Before I store my jars in the basement, I wipe them down thoroughly with a paper towel wetted with white vinegar. It helps to keep mold from growing on the jar while it's sitting for months.

I have some awesome cherry syrup that would have been awesome jelly.

Yup! I take the jar lifter to hold it on the top and I grab the bottom with a towel and turn it over and leave it for 24hours. And honestly as long as you wipe down the jar mouth before putting on the lid, it should seal just fine. However, my mom hasn’t had very good luck with the Walmart brand lids. She couldn’t get them to seal. I haven’t had a problem with them so it’s possible she had a bad batch of ‘em. And last year I used whatever I could find because they were no where to be found.

Guess who had a loaf of bread that NEEDED to go in the oven (and was about to get put in) when they lost power and has 2 thumbs....
This lady, that's who! I put it in, and hope the residual heat in the oven and Dutch oven bake it.... and it was such a bubbly lump of dough!

Whoa! Looks amazing!!! So is that more like a focacia bread? (Sorry spellin?)

Focaccia covers a wide assortment of combinations. I used to make one,, that I used to call "poor mans pizza" simply because it did not contain as much topping ingredients as pizza,,, mainly little cheese. and the bread was considerably thicker,, (about one inch or so)

So in my search on Google,, ran across this interesting option,, I think I will try. See what you made me do

Here is a kwik jump to the recipe.

Consider slipping into your outdoor grill if you have one. Propane preferred over charcoal,,, (instant warmup. )

The only thing we have is a fire pit, and it was raining, and my dough was overflowing the bowl... I just put it in the preheated Dutch oven in the over 500° oven, and left it. I checked it after 40 minutes, and the crust was brown, but I left it in there. Im too scared to take it out.
