No Sandwich Post Today

I haven't made bread for ages, it seems like. At least partly because the Milk and Water Bread recipe makes two loaves. Well, it looks like two loaves is too much for us to get through, at least recently. I checked our second loaf and it was all moldy.

Oh come on, you didn't really want a picture of that, did you? :-) So anyway, no bread, no sandwich. I brought leftover pizza for lunch. Of course, pizza dough is also a type of bread (though I don't think I'd call pizza a "sandwich"). But since I didn't make it or bake this pizza, it doesn't count.

What do you think? Is pizza a sandwich? We've occasionally made our own pizza, but not our own dough—yet. If we do, I can do an article on that. Not this week, maybe next, after we've had a few other things as well.

And I'm going to the garden this evening; the weather's supposed to be great and I'm expecting great things, all of which I will share with you tomorrow.

God speed, and remember: All sorrows are less with bread.

    I have made pizza dough now 3 times in my machine. It just does all the mixing and rising parts. When it is done, then I can make two medium pizzas. I have made it with whole grain bread flour, and it is awesome! :)There are a few recipes out there.

    A stuffed pizza is somewhat similar to a sandwich. But a pizza is a pie.

The Consistency Of Coarse Meal

I decided to make biscuits this afternoon, and as I was following the recipe, I saw that I needed to mix flour, salt, and baking powder, then cut in shortening (butter is better than mar but marge is what we had). The recipe said to cut the shortening in "to the consistency of coarse meal." Now what the heck is that supposed to mean? I mean, I know what (for example) corn meal looks like; but does the casual baker? How are they supposed to know? It means this. Not that you'd go far wrong with these biscuits, anyway. I mean, it's the Pillsbury cookbook. The only problem I had is that, at some time in the past, I put a note in to myself to use 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder instead of the recipe's 2. Well, I'm marking that back down. These are edible, but definitely taste of baking powder. Oh well, live and relearn, I guess. The finished product. Yum! Godspeed, and remember, All things are better with bread .

Buttermilk Biscuits - Yum!

This morning I finally got to make the buttermilk biscuits I've been hoping for the last two days. As I guessed, they took only a while to make (the recipe was ready by the time the oven was done preheating) and they were done in 17 minutes (the recipe said 15 - 20, I split the difference). I think I must have done something weird with it though, maybe with the butter; the biscuits looked and tasted good, but I thought maybe they were a little chewy. Herself agreed with me, too. She had them with butter; I had them plain. Biscuits aren't supposed to be chewy, are they? Maybe a problem with cutting in the butter. You could tell I haven't made biscuits for quite a while. So there it is, I've now made the Buttermilk Loaf and the Buttermilk Biscuits - both good but with each their own problems. I'll try them again, later. God speed, and remember: All sorrows are less with bread . Edit: Added a picture.

More Random Thoughts

I don't usually make bread during the week (I could , but we'd rapidly run out of space to store the bread!). But last night I did, just plain white bread for sandwiches today. I have to watch myself carefully. I'm not taking the time I need to shape the bread; it doesn't look as nice and even as it should. But it's got a lovely crust, a bit sweetish, and should make a great sandwich. Herself (who has informed me that she would like to be referred to forthwith as Nancie) made a great sandwich on this for lunch. She is the Sandwich Queen :-) Buffalo chicken, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and a wee little bit of pepper. I can't wait for lunch! I was going to post something about the awful state of my bread ingredient cupboard, but this has cheered me up enough that I don't feel like griping about it :-) God speed, and remember: All sorrows are less with bread .
