I decided to try scoring my sourdough loaf a little differently.

I basically drew a J on the bread. It turned out looking really delicious.

I guess I found my signature, score a J on the bread for my name!

Empanadas
With the second two portions of dough from my Stromboli posting, I decided to do some experimenting.
I watched a video on YouTube of someone making calzones. Then I remembered long ago, a relative served panelle and calzones at their party. I kind of forgot about the panelle, but do remember it was made from Chick peas.
So in my experimental mind, decided to make Calzones filled with hummus.
Then my DD#1 tells me,,,,, Oh daddy, those are great humus empanadas.
So I thought I invented something NEW, turns out has been around in Latin America, for MANY MANY YEARS.
But I did UNITE the EAST,,,, with the WEST.
Empanadas, are made with a variety of fillings., but I did not find one filled with Humus,,,, Which is a Middle Eastern food.
Here is my Play by play, Much easier with pictures, than typing everything out.

I make my own Hummus. Have been doing it for about 25 years now. Very easy, and the cost is a fraction of Hummus from store deli section.
Above are the ingredients for my Hummus. 3 cans of Garbanzo beans drained. 1/2 jar of Mild Giardiniera. into Blender, until done.

.. Juts a note: I made way more hummus than what I needed to fill my empanadas.

Filling into dough, and then folded over, and sealed.

My Taco meat filling for some, and Olives, Jalapenos, and Pepper Jack Cheese.

Filled,, folded, and sealed.

I egg washed tops of dough,

Out of oven after about 25 minutes,, at 400°F

Cross section of one filled with hummus.

Notes. Most Empanada recipes, do not use Yeast raised dough. No baking powder ether, so no leavening.
I choose to use my pizza dough for both Stromboli, and Empanadas.

Hubby and I have used his mom's recipe to make empanadas several times. The filling has ground beef, chopped hard boiled eggs, raisins, jalapenos, and spices (and I can't recall just what they are). I thought the combination sounded strange, but it tasted great!

I haven't been able to have them since I went gluten free. Sigh. Hubby has not tasted a gluten free ANYTHING that he has liked.

Well, he does like the gravy I've made using cornstarch as the thickener.

Scrambled eggs are gf.
Try a cobbler/crumble/buckle/pie (whatever) with oat flour.

Has anyone tried the silicone liners that fit into a 5qt KitchenAid? I like the idea for a few reasons, but I am uncomfortable with the unknown brands. I worry they will be recalled for getting specks of silicone in the food or something.

I don't feel comfortable using silicone bakeware, so I don't. Only thing we used silicone thingies, were to make frozen dog treats from Pumpkin Puree, and Yogurt. They were easy to remove. Dogs have shorter lifespans than people. So maybe the long term affects don't affect them?
