RUN BY ON HOW YOU MAKE THAT FRENCH BREAD. i WOULD LIKE TO TRY BAKING SOME BREAD MYSELF.:)

I use a recipe quite old that I love tried and true but measure the temp on water
I do mix my by hand once you place it to rise oil both sides lightly we use butter

French bread

Ingredients
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Stir in 2 cups warm water, and beat until well blended using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes total. Shape into a ball. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn once. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
  3. Punch dough down, and divide in half. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover, and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each half into large rectangle. Roll up, starting from a long side. Moisten edge with water and seal. Taper ends.
  4. Grease a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Place loaves, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water, and brush on. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until nearly doubled, 35 to 40 minutes.
  5. With a very sharp knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep across top of each loaf. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 20 minutes. Brush again with egg white mixture. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until bread tests done. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent over browning. Remove from baking sheet, and cool on a wire rack.

Zataran's Brand

But used that as the base.. I added Green Bell Pepper, Red Onion, Builard's hot sauce and h/m cajun blackening seasoning.

Only one goat is in dire straight. She is recovering from illness and not allowed to return to the herd by 2 alphas. Her ears are all chewed up from when she tries to eat with the group. Yesterday evening, the main leader of the Herd.. Domino. which at one time was a sweet little cutie, is now the leader of the pack but uses violence and fear to keep everyone in line. She was thinning the herd by pinning tiny weak P.J. upside down and gaffing her belly, repeating, trying to 86 her. Hub had to grab and subdue her. She is a big girl, it was rough. She now is quartered in one of our Buck's pens with the next ranking nanny. I believe she might be re homed. Excellent breeder but terrible leader. Now that the two Alphas are segregated, tranquility has been restored.
P.J. is now excepted by the rest of the herd. What an evening.
View attachment 1251453 Anyone who says there is nothing to raising Goats, never was a Herd Owner. Chickens are nothing compared to goats social tribulations.
I am emptying the camera SD Card right now. Pix coming next.View attachment 1251454

Wow, never had my goats actually try to kill each other.
