You're welcome [emoji2]
Awoke this morning to a cloudy, drizzly day. Somewhat cooler than we've been experiencing so I decided to make a couple loaves of plain white bread. Finished them much earlier than I'd anticipated, so I have 2 more on their first rise and will put them in to bake in about an hour.
I guess someone put a bag full of quarters in me and wound me up today, 'cause I have felt very ambitious. I have a feeling I'm going to run out of gas after lunch but, by then, all the bread will be done and I can play at being a slug the rest of the day.

A combination of the photo in this post and a daily newsletter from Seriouseats.com with a pita recipe has got me thinking I should make pita.
What recipe did you use?
Chef John's Pita Bread Recipe - Allrecipes.com
But obviously I didn't cook it that way. 450 preheat with the pan in the oven so it's really hot or a stone. 3-5 minutes until puffed. Then flip for a couple of minutes. Stack on a plate and tent with foil so they will stay warm and soft. Oh, I roll them out.

I read just the last page (29 I think it was) of this thread and I am inspired by everyone!
We had house guests from back home, so I made my version of fresh Apple pie for dessert
It was pretty dang good, and I don't even care for Apple Pie

Meat Pie. Traditionally an Easter Pie but I had a craving.
Couple of days ago my first attempt at Baguettes. Not bad but I think crust could have been a little better. Is titled 4 hour baguettes... and silly me finished up around 9pm that night, after 4 separate hours of rising!
read the recipe... read the recipe... read the recipe... and understand it!
Today I did a loaf in the Romertopf Clay Baker. Wow - very easy - tasty - crusty - soft interior... Get thee in the cupboard loaf! afore I finish you off tonight!
Actually the baguettes would have been fabulous had they the crust of the Clay cooker!

Can you post a link to the method/recipe you used for the clay baker? Looks great and I'd love to make some in our Romertopf.

All from scratch Meyer Lemon Meringue Birthday Pie, it's DH's b-day and this is always his request rather than cake
Made the Meyer Lemon Curd two days ago;
made the Pâte Brisée (I like Martha Stewart's recipe) yesterday;
this morning I rolled out and blind baked the crust, left it to cool while I met with Mrs. Dear Friend for a short visit (she hasn't been well and DH insisted that I go, even though it's his birthday, aawwww)
Filled it with the curd and then made Swiss Meringue;
I spread half the recipe over the top to seal the filling and then piped out stars with a large open star tip, Wilton® 1M, all pretty like and
put it under the broiler to toast (now I want a propane torch!! that broiler stinks!)...
Dinner to follow

Isn't that funny!
As I was making the pie dough (in the FP), I said to DH, ya'know it's not that hard to do.
I roll mine out between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to make it all easy-peasy, pop it back into the chill box to firm back up if it's too soft and then into the pie pan.
