Thanks Guys...I haven't made it to the store yet. I thought about sifting the hulls out. I think that is what I will do and see how it turns out and if I have second thoughts I'll pickup some powder. EDIT: Ha Ha....I looked in my cupboard again and found some Sun Luck Chinese Mustard Powder...

Hello DC. I tried searching the forums and could not really find what I was looking for. The recipe I'm using is for scratch Mac and Cheese and it calls for TBSP of Mustard Powder, of which I have none of. I do have Mustard Seed and a Mortar and Pestle. You see where I'm going with this? Are...

on the second ones doubled in size. I used a 6qt container; that I bought at a restaurant supply shop, to monitor the doubling. IIRC the dough went in at about 1.5 qts and double to about 3 qts (volume not weight). I'd say that the dimensions of the finished loaves 13"x10"x5" give or...

Man o Man, I abandoned this thread. Sorry guys. I was digging through a not very often visited or used email account and found these replys. I don't have any interior shots of that 1st loaf I made but here is what I did for Thanksgiving. I just divided the dough and made two loaves and...

Thanks, I like your sig, made me laugh. Yep, I think I might go for a career in baking and getting out of this sandwich making mcjob racket.

Ta Da! What do you think

I Hear ya - but with a 21 mth old running around, this is the only chance I get to bake LOL! Most definitely!:wink:

Here it is after the 2nd rise about to go into the 350 degree Oven (whoops forgot to preheat argh) I scored the top to allow it to rise more in the oven. This thing is going to be way bigger than I imagined. I'm hoping this thing doesn't take over my oven.

This recipe is from his 2nd book. The Pillow Loaf (ppg 254 and 255) is delicious, The 1st time I made I started the oven too low (the page flipped on me) and was still able to save it. The top got a little over brown almost burnt, but it still turned out good. This time I'm trying to get it...

I found this site on a google search. Seems to be comprehensive. Bread Maker Recipes I don't have a bread maker though, so someone might have some better ideas. :smile:I don't to come off as a hater, but bread makers are kinda one note horses to me. Aside for mixing and kneading for you, they...

I've only seen the chocolate episode. I'm not much of a TV watcher, but I can imagine the shenanigans!:wink:

I got the day off today and decided to create a monster! (of the yummy variety) This is the recipe for the Pillow Loaf as described in Alton Brown's I'm just here for more food. This is my second attempt at this recipe. I'm still working on it as we speak. I wish I had gotten a before picture...

That scale looks to be more functional. Thanks for the link as well. I'll definitely be looking into it.

Hey All, I bought an "Escali" digital scale. Let me just say...what a hunk of junk. The Tare function does not work, It turns of when I don't want it to which is no good when you have a bowl full of flour that you are trying to add yeast to. :wacko: I opened the battery cover to find out it...

I'm trying to figure out with crock pot spaghetti if I should boil the spaghetti noodles stove top first or can I just throw the noodle uncooked with the sauce in the crock pot and leave them. Thanks in advance!
