What are you baking now?

[Dragonfly Ranch]

I found a recipe for English Muffin Bread and I'm going to make it over the weekend - while I'm pressure canning (yes I said PRESSURE - my first time

) pinto beans. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Kim - my weakness can be cheese. I have to be careful and keep it out of sight - out of mind. It took me a year to lose all the weight which is better since your body and mind have to adjust too so you don't put it back on fast or at all. It is a struggle for me to keep the weight off since I sit all day at my job. I need to get back to parking the car further away from the store and work, walking back and forth to the chicken coop, pulling weeds and get good slow easy exercise.

So only one slice of English Muffin bread and easy on the butter

Have a great productive weekend everyone

I ended up with 7 sub rolls by just grabbing a handfull of dough, then following the directions from the Gump thread...roll out with rolling pin and roll up like the cinnamon buns, pinch them off and score the tops with a knife. I think they turned out to be 12-13" long and around 3" wide, they really did make a good sandwich! I think hot dog buns are a great idea, you'll just have to eyeball them and allow enough room on your baking tray. My sub rolls ended up touching some in the middle till they were baked though they came apart easy enough just as the store bought rolls do. You'll have to post the results when you try them! I'm curious to see how many you get

I just wanted you all to know I made the 1-2-3-4 Cake recipe on the back of the Swann's cake flour box... OMG.. I could hardly get it into the oven the batter tastes SOO GOOD AND SOO SMOOOTH... I really worked it over.

I can't wait till it comes out!

I've decided its easier to run 4 miles a day (45 minutes) than it is to cut out sweets.


.... update post baking...
OMG... this is the yummiest buttery-est softest smoothest cake I've had in FOREVER...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fan-very-tastic! no frosting for this one, straight is the way to go!

I started some bread this morning. It was slow rising and I forgot about it and left for work.

I had to call my husband and get him to put it in for me. It was just lucky his job called and cancelled due to weather this am. I won't know till I get home how it turned out.

That cake sounds so good. Is there a link somewhere to the recipe?

 

[DawnSuiter]

1 cup butter softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs

cream butter, add sugar slowly cream until light & fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beat until rich & smooth

in another bowl sift together
3 cups of Swans Down Cake flour,
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

in small bowl or mug combine
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract (I skipped this one)

Now... add a little flour mixture to the butter/eggs/sugar mix, then a little of the milk mixture. Alternating back & forth until it's all finally combined into this gloriously smooth vanilla creamy mixture of heaven!!

I filled 2 - 9" pans (1 round 1 bundt) with nice size cakes... they suggest 3- 9" pans. GREASE & FLOUR well! 25-30 minutes
Cool for 10 minutes on rack in pan, remove from pan and continue cooling on rack.

Made the English Muffin Bread - can't wait for it to cool enough to try. I'm not a bread maker and just learning and this recipe was easy and did it with the Kitchen Aide mixer. Dough was a bit stiff since I heated the milk/water mixture to hot and had to let it cool. There were a couple of people who reviewed on All Recipes that had the same problem and it was corrected when they tried again and watched the temp of the milk. Next time I'll watch closer too!

Yum! That English Muffin bread looks delicious.

Meatloaf...I haven't made one of them for awhile. Might be on the week's menu.
