I'm about to bake some Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies.

Yesterday, I made some, but the dough was too dry and hard, which also made the cookies too dry and hard - like friggen BRICKS!! How embarrassing?!!! I should have KNOWN that something was wrong when I saw the outcome of the dough!!!!!!!!!

So today, I modified the recipe a little bit by adding a third egg, a little bit of shortening for moistness and tenderness and far less oatmel. The dough is softer this time around, and it does NOT appear to be dry at all, so I think THIS batch will be much better!

I'll do a dry run on one, just to see. If that one comes out right, and I think it will, then the rest should be good.

Oatmeal cookies came out great, BTW! Sure. Just follow the link to my website in the signature block. Many of my recipes are there, with more coming when I get some time.

I just made a 100% Whole Wheat recipe for the first time yesterday, and it came out with a nice soft crumb and light texture. Not heavy like a lot of whole wheat recipes. The recipe is on my website as well.

I made Indian Roti bread today for the first time. I have eaten Roti before, but did not realize how easy it was to make. Click Here (http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/2007/03/21/roti-chapati-flat-indian-bread/) for the link to how to make these, but don't make them from the verbal instructions, because the directions are wrong. She says to use 1/2 C of flour and 1/2 C of water, but if you do that it will be flour soup. The water should be 1/2 of the amount of the flour like the written instructions below the video. Enjoy!

I actually baked these last night, but didn't get around to taking pics until this morning. When I got up I saw that half of the cookies were gone, as well as a few Hot Cross Buns. Obviously they went home with my daughter. She was still hanging around talking to her mother when I went to bed at 11 p.m.. Oh, well, that's why I bake.

I have been baking simits which are bagels with lots of sesame seeds on them.

We were running low on sandwich rolls for the freezer, so I made up a batch. The buns are each made with 3 oz. of dough. Also made a couple loaves of Italian bread, but have not uploaded the pic from the camera.

We are having the neighbors over for a Memorial Day cookout, so I made a batch of Honey Whole Wheat hot dog and hamburger rolls (http://flyfishohio.us/Butter%20Top%20Honey%20Whole%20Wheat%20Bread.htm), as well as some Italian bread (http://flyfishohio.us/JoesItalianBread.htm) in loaf pans for us.

Hi dough boy, your loaf and buns look fantactic. I am going to try some of your recipes as I am new to bread making.
Today I am going to make lavas which is easy to make flat bread with herbs in. I will be posting them soon.

I did chocolate chip cookies. I like them because they are easy to do and the ingredients are not hard to find.

Last night I made English Muffins for the first time, using Alton Brown's recipe (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/english-muffins-recipe/index.html). The flavor was great but I need to get the proper baking rings to make these. I used tuna cans with the bottom cut out.

How about 27 dozen cookies in the last week for my daughter's wedding on July 25th? Here is my production line I had set up using all three of my 3/4 sheet pans. I pre-froze the cookies before bagging them for the freezer, and this eliminated any damage to the cookies while they were soft and warm. Plus, this kept them from sticking together. I got 3 dozen cookies in a 1-gallon ziplock bag.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/flyfishohio/Food/P1010899.jpg

And here is my freezer, full to capacity with cookie...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/flyfishohio/Food/P1010901.jpg

These will all be packaged on Thursday into cellophane bags, then tied with a purple ribbon and hang tag with the names of the bride and groom and teh wedding date. Each place setting will alternate yellow then chocolate, with two cookies in each bag. I made Oatmeal Raisin (http://flyfishohio.us/Oatmeal%20Raisin%20Cake%20Cookies.htm) and Double Chocolate Chewies (http://flyfishohio.us/Double%20Chocolate%20Pecan%20Crunchies.htm), which are my daughter's favorite cookies that I make.

BTW, they were all portioned out using a size 30 disher (http://www.ckitchen.com/commercial/smallware/dishers/adcrat-ics-30-ice-cream-disher.html) so they would all be the same size (3-1/4" dia.). They are big, which is why I only got 15 cookies to a sheet.

[Dough Boy]

Here's an update on those English Muffins from 3 weeks ago. I got my rings in the mail and actually made the muffins in fish camp on a Coleman stove with a griddle top. Along with some Canadian Bacon and poached eggs, I made the guys Eggs Benedict for breakfast one morning before we went fishing. One of the guys who also a foodie, made the Hollandaise Sauce.

Made this yesterday, for my brother in-law's birthday, he is a peanut butter fanatic. I made the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake (great recipe) and split the layers to make 4 nice thin layers and filled and covered with peanut butter buttercream, chopped up some peanut butter cups and put them on top and drizzled with ganache.

The trick was transporting 2 1/2 hours and keeping it cool outside until dinner, my trusty coleman cooler did a good job!

With the Labor Day holiday behind me, I can now post what I baked lately. For a party at my brother's house on Sunday, I made a batch of Oatmeal Raspberry Bars (http://flyfishohio.us/Oatmeal%20Raspberry%20Bar%20Cookies%20.htm) that disappeared in a heartbeat. I must admit they were delicious.

I made a cake for my partner's grandma's 96th birthday. I didn't plan very well, and realized that I didn't have enough disposable pastry bags, so I had to use some ziploc bags as makeshift pastry bags, not as easy to work with, add to that I lost my leaf tip, and well we just have a makeshift cake.

The cake is a 1/2 sheet chocolate cake, split in half and filled with a whipped chocolate ganache, and finished with a chocolate butter cream.

Hi There Dough Boy! Your cinnamon rolls look great! You used pyrex dish to bake these? Is it better than a teflon baking pan? Please advise. Thanks. Hope the patient enjoyed them.Thanks for your concern. Gus really enjoyed the cinnamon rolls, which made me feel really great.
I use Pyrex glass pans for the cinnamon rolls because we have so many of them, plain and simple. Been married for 37 years, and we accumulated them before the fancy coated pans were available. In fact, we don't even own any teflon baking pans. I spray the Pyrex with cooking spray before putting the rolls in them, and they come out easily and the dish cleans easily as well.

Wow, I made an apple crisp from the Joy of Cooking cookbook yesterday.

It was delicious!

First time trying that recipe. I normally make the crisp with oats but this recipe didn't call for any, which I didn't notice until I was putting it in the oven, DUH!

So, I thought I wasn't going to like it.

Loved it!

[elvis2010]

Today I made expatCanuck's Banana Bread that he posted on the easiest baking recipe forum (http://www.cookingforums.net/showthread.php?t=606&page=2). It turned out good but I think I would add at least one more banana to the recipe. Didn't quite have enough of a banana flavor to it.

I attached a pic of the loaf. Testing my food photo skills!

[Big Daddy's House]

Looks good and delish though!

I think I'm going to be doing some heavy baking come the holiday season. I've been invited to several parties and I'm going to bring something baked, such as pies or cakes.

Incidently, the bourbon sweet potato pies that I made two weeks ago were a big hit! Got rave reviews and the get-together that a friend and myself attended, the party goers all LOVED it!! They want me to make some more!!

But when we go back there in December, I think I'll dazzle them with my famous 7-Up Cake!

baking today won't happen but I did make a batch of luscious gingersnaps yesterday.
it's the second batch I've made in a few days, guess I'm on a gingersnap junket.
the first batch was wonderful, all dark brown sugar, very crisp, very dense in flavor, very very good.
yesterday's batch was completely different recipe that called for much more ginger so I halved it and did 1/2 powdered and a lot of that, plus 1/2 again of grated fresh, plus added black pepper and nutmeg and cloves which it didn't call for. Half white and half brown sugar. They are really good but burned easily, wonder why. Very good cookies, the husband says so as does our pooch:eek: No, no chocolate in them for the concerned.....................:p

Prepare yourself for a serious road trip as I bought this at B&R Bulk Foods in Middlefield, Ohio, about 30 miles SE of Cleveland. The bag cost $19 for 50#, compared to the $14.50 I was paying for 25# at the local Giant Eagle grocery store. This also goes under the name of Montana Sapphire, but I believe the distribution is somewhat regional. Contact your grocer and see if it is available from his distributor. Sapphire got its name from the blue skies of Montana where the brand originated, and it is made with hard winter wheat, is unbleached and has a protein content of 10% which makes it excellent for bread baking. Yes, it really does matter what flour you use to bake bread if you expect to get predictable and repeatable results. Remember, bread is made using formulas, not recipes as is erroneously stated. Formulas guarantee predictable results, recipes get you close with somewhat predictable results.

As far as picture clarity, I use the MACRO setting on my little digital camera. Get out your book and read about it. I also use a mini tripod for a lot of my shots and the camera's timer so the camera does not move.

As we all know we need to limit our sugar intake. That being said, if you want something sweet now and then, this is a great recipe. Made with organic whole wheat flour, organic sweet potatoes, organic milk, extra virgin olive oil and free range eggs it packs a lot of nutrition. With or without frosting, it is a winner.

Cake Ingredients:

1/2 cup organic milk
2 cups sugar
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 free range eggs, separated

2 1/4 cups organic whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg

3 cups grated and peeled organic sweet potatoes
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl with electric mixer blend the olive oil and sugar until well blended. Separate eggs. Add egg yolks, vanilla and milk to oil mixture. Blend well and set aside.

Sift 1/4 cup of the flour over grated sweet potatoes. Toss to coat all sweet potatoes well.

In a separate bowl combine the remaining 2 cups of flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add this to the oil mixture and mix well. Fold in coated sweet potatoes.

Beat egg whites stiff and fold into the cake batter. Pour batter into a 10-inch tube cake pan that has been coated with oil and flour. Bake cake 55 minutes or until done.

Frosting Ingredients:

1 cup organic milk
3 tblsp. organic whole wheat flour

1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup organic butter or Smart Balance
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup coconut
1/2 cup pecans




Place milk and flour in a sauce pan and use a whisk to blend well. Cook over medium heat until it thickens stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool thoroughly.

Place sugar, butter or Smart Balance and vanilla extract in mixing bowl and mix well with electric mixer. Add flour mixture and mix well.

Stir in coconut and pecans.

What's the surprise? This cake has real nutritional value!

I made some homemade pumpkin pie today from scratch...it really does make such a different when you use a real pumpkin instead of the canned stuff at the store

[Big Daddy's House]

I've always made the Southern cousin, sweet potato pie, but with a little twist.
I put some bourbon in the pie filling, and people go gaga over it! They just can't seem to get enough of it.

[Whoopie Pie]

I made some homemade pumpkin pie today from scratch...it really does make such a different when you use a real pumpkin instead of the canned stuff at the store

Canned pumpkin IS real pumpkin.

I have made it both ways and can't justify the extra work of preparing pumpkin. The taste difference was subtle at best.

[Big Daddy's House]

Yes it is, and the ingredient is 100% pure pumpkin. Nothing artificial is in it.

I have a can of it that I was going to make a pumpkin pie with it last Thanksgiving.

And yes Whoopie Pie, it DOES save lots of labor over cutting up, peeling, seeding and boiling and cooling pumpkin.

[Whoopie Pie]

Made an apple crisp, and it was good! My mom made it often when I was a kid, but as an adult, I never have.

I found some courtland apples, something that you don't find here in NC, I was excited since these are the apples that I grew up on.

I used the Classic apple crisp recipe from the King Arthur website http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/classic-apple-crisp-recipe.

I used 3 lbs. of apples and increased the crumb topping by 50% to fill a 8X12 pan.

[annie33]

Some great photos on this baking thread
Question....is Apple Crisp like Apple Crumble where the topping is flour butter and sugar made into a crumb texture by rubbing in?

[Big Daddy's House]

Not sure, but I think so. Sometimes oatmeal is used also.

[Whoopie Pie]

Some great photos on this baking thread
Question....is Apple Crisp like Apple Crumble where the topping is flour butter and sugar made into a crumb texture by rubbing in?

Yes, sounds like the same thing. Apple crisp also usually has rolled oats in the topping as well.

[Big Daddy's House]

Apple Crumb Pie is usually made with the top of it that way, instead of a pie crust.

[Big Daddy's House]

Yes it does!

[Dough Boy]

that oatmeal raspberry bar looks awesome! Do you have a recipe you could post?

OATMEAL RASPBERRY BAR COOKIES
1/2 c. room temperature butter
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. rolled oats
3/4 c. fruit jam (only seedless raspberry jam for this recipe)
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square pan, line it with aluminum foil and then butter the foil. Mix all the ingredients together except the jam. Press 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the jam to 1/4 inch within the edge. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top and lightly press it into the jam. Bake at 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool on wire rack before cutting.

I baked Sundried Tomato Bread at the weekend, I made the recipe up. I don't often make it by hand, as it's hard on the wrists, but I enjoyed the results.

[Mama]

I know the feeling dacon. I had carpal tunnel syndrome. I had the surgery but still have some problems so i use either my bread machines dough cycle or my KA stand mixer.

The last thing I baked was a couple of days ago I made some Oatmeal Raisin pudding cookies (http://www.mamas-southern-cooking.com/oatmeal-raisin-cookie-recipe.html)

[Chowhound]

I like oatmeal cookies and raisins go perfectly.
Very nice, Mama

Thanks Chow! I made them for DH's lunch. He takes 8 to 10 of them everyday in his lunch and grabs a couple to eat on the way to work everyday.

I baked 40 loaves of pumpkin bread! My partner takes orders for it at his office, people are now ordering it for themselves and their families, they just love the stuff!

We purchased a house this summer and I replaced the old range that was here with a convection range, what a wonderful decision that was! In my old apartment oven I could only cook 6-8 loaves and I would have to shuffle them around to get even baking. Now with this oven I can bake 16 loaves at once and every one bakes evenly and finish at the same time, no shuffling!

Mmmmmmm, apple pie ala mode!! I just saw Martha Stewart do a mile-high one the other day!

[Whoopie Pie]

Ask and you shall receive!


No corn syrup pecan pie

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
1-1/2 cups light brown sugar
Pinch of salt
2 T. sifted AP flour
3 whole eggs, beaten
1/2 cup half n' half
1 cup pecans, either whole or broken (I like the broken because it's easier to cut the pie.)
Single 9-inch pie crust, unbaked

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sugars, salt, flour and half n' half and beat until well blended.
Stir in the melted butter and pecans and mix well.
Pour the mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie shell and bake until the filling is cooked but still soft in the middle when you give it a little wiggle, about 45 to 60 minutes depending on your oven.
Cool pie on a rack, chill, cut, eat and enjoy!

[Big Daddy's House]

Come to think of it, I once saw Paula Deen make a pie similar to this one!

[Whoopie Pie]

I made this recipe from the King Arthur website, I must say they were really good! My partner is a ginger fanatic so I knew that he would love these.

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_EceXKIGmyr8/Sxs0pXtT4YI/AAAAAAAADYs/VVrBI-g3Z0Y/s720/SG1L2430.JPG
I even remembered to take a picture, and they came out looking pretty much the same as the King Arthur website!

I am making another one of their recipes tomorrow, butter pecan cookies, I have already made the batter and have it in the fridge chilling overnight, they recommend this in the recipe, but it is something that I always do with cookie dough, it improves the flavor and texture tremendously.

[Big Daddy's House]

Looks good!

[Whoopie Pie]

I saw this recipe on the King Arthur Flour baker's banter blog and knew I had to try it. I love the combination of sweet and salty so I knew that I would love these butter pecan cookies. I made the dough on saturday night and baked a few last night but forgot to roll them in salt and sugar, and they were good, but I rolled them in the mixture tonight and it just put them over the top, and the extra day in the fridge helped them get even more golden brown, Perfect!

Had the mixer going at 0530 today, and by 0930 it was all done. Now it needs to cool for a couple hours before cutting the loaves. The cornbread was made because we are all out of sandwich bread and rolls. It turned out to be a big breakfast hit with butter and honey.

What kind of container did you cook it in?I just uploaded the formula with links and pictures for the sourdough no-knead bread (http://flyfishohio.us/Sourdough%20No-knead.htm). I baked it in a La Cloche clay baker, and the link to where I bought it is on the webpage.

[Big Daddy's House]

Baking 5 bourbon sweet potato pies - two to take to a Christmas dinner, one each for two friends and one for myself.

Plus I baked some cornbread to take to another Christmas dinner.

[Chowhound]

Do you have a pic of the bourbon sweet potato pie? That has a real nice sound to it.
Not that the cornbread doesn't look good ;^)

[QSis]

Yes, BigD, I'd like the recipe for that pie, too, please.

And could you post it in a separate thread? I can't find anything in these "what did you.." threads!

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

[Big Daddy's House]

I'll post it soon in the Recipe forum. Didn't measure anything for it though.

[Dough Boy]

I made these guys up yesterday to take to my brother's home for New Years dinner. Needless to say, there was nothing left to bring home.

Thanks Sherm!! I'm going to be making some zucchini bread in the next day or two.......DS requested it. lol

[Dough Boy]

I just made the sponge to make the sourdough version of those baguettes. We have a house party to go to tonight, so I thought these might be a hit two days in a row. I might make some lavash crackers as well. Have to see how much time I have today.

[Chowhound]

Thanks Sherm. They look just like pumpkin pies. Are they the same consistency, or are they flaky like a cake?

[Big Daddy's House]

You're welcome!

About the same consistency as pumpkin and squash pies.

[Whoopie Pie]

The sweet potato pies that I have had have been very similar to pumpkin. One of the differences that I have noticed is that sweet potato pie is often spiced a bit different, often a bit more spice.

Ground ginger is often used in pumpkin pie, but I've never used it in sweet potato pie, which is often refered to as the Southern cousin to pumpkin and squash pie because it is a favorite in the South.

It might be used in all three, but I never made squash pie that I can remember.

[Whoopie Pie]

Had a hankering for brownies. These are Called "Bangor Big Fat Brownies", from the Great American Bake Sale cookbook. It is a recipe from Brownie Shrumph, a lady that had a recipe column in my local paper back in Maine. These are wonderful brownies, and are about as easy to make as a mix, they even call for cocoa powder, which makes it a great recipe for things already in the pantry.

Not the best picture, but I was tired, LOL!

[homecook]

Oh wow! Those look great!! I love nuts in mine too.

[Chowhound]

OMG! Those are perfect! I love nuts in mine, too.
Stephen King would be proud.
Do you have the recipe here somewhere, Whoopie?

[tigerlilly]

beautiful brownies!! i would also love the recipe.

[Whoopie Pie]

here is a link to the recipe. I have the cookbook, but just found it online too, so I don't have to type it out, LOL! I'll put it in the recipe section too. The recipe doesn't call for nuts, but I threw in a couple handfuls of walnut halves and pieces, I would say that it was around 1 1/4 cups nuts, best guess.

I made the whole wheat bread in the AB5M book and it came out delicious! I had Maryland crab soup with it. Yummmm!

[Dough Boy]

Just took these two no-knead loaves out of the oven. Both are 30% stone ground whole wheat flour. The long loaf has Italian herbs in it and the other is plain. We'll have one of them with out sirloin tips over noodles tonight with steamed & buttered broccoli and a garden salad.

Cinnamon rolls look fantastic Dough Boy. I baked 2 no knead bread today. One with olives and sundried tomatoes and the other just plain one for my DH loL!!!

[tigerlilly]

beautiful! btw what did you bake them in? or did you just free form them? i have never made no knead bread before.

[homecook]

You must try it tigerlilly......it's very easy and very, very good!

[fahriye]

beautiful! btw what did you bake them in? or did you just free form them? i have never made no knead bread before.

Thanks Tigerlily, I baked them in ceremic dishes with lids, but would love to buy some cast iron dishes just for baking bread, as soon as the snow clears and I can get to the shops.
I am going to post the bread tonight on my blog if you would like to browse. Yes, no knead method is very easy and fun to make. I have learnt a lot from dough boy and also recommend watching video www.breadtopia.com

i can use corning ware right? most are square, i have a huge round visions, i would probably need to 5X the recipe LOL

[homecook]

I don't know about the vision ware tiger......can it be put in a 450 oven?? It's glass and not ceramic, right? Do you have any Pyrex?? Or a dutch oven?

[fahriye]

Hiya tigerlily, I know dough boy mentioned that corningware casserole dish is suitable for this method of bread making. I too use oven temp 450F and corningware should be ok at that temp.5 quart will be just fine.

square bread LOL

[Chowhound]

You are just dropping the dough into the vessel, or perhaps using parchment paper to lay it in. It doesn't actually touch the sides, so even in a square baking dish, the round blob should cook just fine.

[homecook]

You are so right, Fred......the parchment paper is the way to go.

[Whoopie Pie]

The parchment sling is great for handling the no knead bread.

The dough should be just firm enough to hold its shape, so it shouldn't go square unless the vessel is too small. Mine gets baked in an oval cast iron enamel dutch oven and comes out nice and round!

[Mrs.Whisky]

This was actually baked last night lol but it was for my Mother's bday today!
