Onion bagels.

@Andy, VERY nice! Did you add onion throughout? Just on top? What kind of onion did you use?

I mixed in onion powder and toasted onion flakes. I don't put stuff on top because I don't care for the hard crunchy bits. My way the onion flavor is throughout the bagel.

I made a loaf of WW English Muffin bread. I got the idea for this by the discussion of favorite cheeses in grilled cheese sandwiches, but it made me think of some of my favorite breads. This was one of them. A bread for toasting, which also makes it great for grilled cheese.

Muffins!

Preheat oven to 350f.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup flax meal
1 t baking powder
Dash of salt
1/4 cup sweetener (I used sugar free pancake syrup)
2 T oil
1/2 t vanilla
3/4 cup milk, plant milk, or water

Combine and divide between 6 prepared muffin cups.

Bake 30 minutes, test with toothpick or broom straw. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

I added 1/4 cup walnut pieces and 1/4 cup Hershey’s special dark baking chips.

I don't think I posted it anywhere, and it's a recipe I tweaked, so here it is:

Whole Wheat English Muffin Bread

1 tb instant dry yeast
2 c Whole Wheat flour
1 c unbleached flour
3 tb wheat gluten
2 tsp salt
1 3/4 c buttermilk, or whisked yogurt, room temperature, maybe 2 tb more
2 tb olive oil, or vegetable oil
1 tb honey, or sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda

A. Combine the yeast, flours, gluten, and salt in mixer bowl, with paddle, and mix briefly, then add buttermilk, oil, and honey, and beat for about 5 minutes - if it's more of a dough than a batter, add a couple more tb of buttermilk. Leave the paddle in place, and cover the bowl with some foil, and let rise for 60 min. Meanwhile, grease a 10x4½" pan - an elongated, 2 lb pan. Remove the cover, sprinkle the baking soda on top, and beat about 2 min. Scrape the dough into the pan, and spray the top with pam, and cover the pan with plastic wrap, and rise about 45 min, or 'til rising just above the top. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°.

Bake 27-30 minutes, or until the bread has a temperature of 195°. Cool on a wire rack.

thank you so much, pepper - I've saved it. Will let you know when I get around to making it. But be patient, I'm not super swift at these things without my own kitchen.

Would you post it in the Recipes section of the site? That way, it won't get lost in this comment thread.

I baked strawberry muffins today. I used 2 tbsp coconut oil in place of 2 tbsp butter. It didn't want to whip up, so I added a couple tbsp water and that did it. So good.

My recipe for Rum Cake.
I like to make cakes for folks who I see on a regular basis to do things for me, ie. my dental hygienist, aesthetician, etc. I have appointments with these two this week.

Peach cobbler So good

The only thing that MIGHT improve your cobbler is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

You are very thoughtful, K-Girl! I like to do similar things. Sometimes I bake, but even a box of store-bought popsicles can be a very welcome thing, on a particularly hot day!

I baked a loaf of focaccia yesterday. I cut it into quarters and froze two of them. We've eaten almost one quarter already

 

[pepperhead212]

I haven't turned on an oven for a few weeks. It is supposed to have lows in the 60s, next few nights, so I might try to bake something, as I'm suffering from withdrawal.

With this weather as nice as it got lately, I started some rye bread a few days ago, much like that Old Milwaukee Rye, and after the 3 days, it really smelled like I was brewing something in the kitchen! I haven't tasted it yet, since I was making that pasta mix, but one goes in the freezer, and the other I'll start with tomorrow. I used 1 1/2 c buttermilk for the sponge, to use some up, and finished with water.

Made a loaf of sandwich bread yesterday. Parts of it served for BLTs for last night's dinner and avocado toast for today's breakfast.
