The wife usually makes the Thanksgiving stuffing and it's really good! It's got sage-flavored sausage and herb croutons, etc. I'm on this kick where I want to make as many things from scratch as possible so I've asked her not to buy the bagged croutons or sage sausage roll yet until I see if...

Hello, I am going to try the following recipe and it appears the "toughest" part might be rolling the dough out as flat as possible. Could I try laying the dough out on one baking sheet, then covering with parchment, then taking a second baking sheet and pressing really hard on top of the first...

Want to make some rye bread, for the first time. Poking around online I see that some places suggest ground caraway in the dough mix then whole caraway seeds on top. However most if not all of the recipes I've been finding just mention caraway seeds and I assume whole. What do you suggest? And...

Around here we call them sub rolls but hoagie rolls seems to be what the "universal" term is. I am fairly new to breadmaking and have been working on my rolls. Sandwich or burger style rolls aren't too bad, flattening, folding, then rolling/shaping into round balls. But I can't seem to make a...

Tried making a nice round loaf of Italian bread. I used a dough recipe from the book that came with my bread maker. And the end of the 70 minute cycle it had me put the dough in a greased bowl and let it rest for 25 minutes, then it said to punch it down and then form a round ball, then let that...

I finally did it! Something I've been wanting to do for some time now is make Canadian bacon (I've since learned it's really "back bacon" but around here it's what you get if you order Canadian bacon at a diner or buy it at the store). When I learned how easy it was it was just a matter of...

I am making these rolls today: Kaiser Rolls: King Arthur Flour It says the dough "should be quite stiff, but not at all gnarly" -- what exactly is gnarly as it pertains to dough? Should it come out like a smooth ball of dough or should there be lumps and cracks? I wish they had posted pictures!

Last week Aldi was selling digital kitchen scales for $9.99. A few days before the sale went live I saw on a deals site that this would be the case. The sale started on a Wednesday, store opened at 9. I went in around 11 and all scales were gone. Someone I know works there, they called other...

Meat grinder arrives today! Anxious to grind up some beef and when I was at the wholesale club over the weekend they had huge shoulder clods for $2.29 or $2.39/lb I think. Don't see any sales at the butcher yet so was thinking of getting one of those to grind up. I've heard/read that clod is...

Brand new to the site! I have been searching far and wide for a general cooking discussion site. I hope this is the place! I am really into BBQ and visit many BBQ specific sites but also into cooking in general and like to have a place to exchange ideas with others like me, and have a place...

Hi all, first time user! I made homemade ranch dressing recently (trying to make more homemade items vs. store bought) and it turned out very runny. The recipe (which is on the Penzey's Buttermilk Ranch seasoning blend) is below. I used a washed out salad dressing bottle that holds 2 cups so...
