Brioche

Brioche

Brioche was one of the reasons I bought my stand mixer. Well, maybe it wasn't a conscious consideration, but I had burned out two Kitchen Aid mixers working with bread dough, and my friends who had the biggest Kitchen Aid still complained about how it handled bread. When I finally picked a stand mixer, I got a DeLonghi that could handle about 10lbs of dough with a 1000-watt motor. I picked it because of that, and because it's got a standard stand mixer design and could handle simple things like making meringue.


Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Good Grilled Cheese

Sometimes a grilled cheese sandwich is just a grilled cheese sandwich. It's usually like that when I get them at the cafeteria at work, or the greasy spoon down the street. That's not what lunch was the other day. We sort of lost our minds with all of this pantry stuff we'd made, preserved, and gathered recently.


Sandwich Bread

Sandwich Bread

With 10+lbs of bread dough in our freezer, I decided to pull some out today and make a simple sandwich loaf for this week's lunches. Without the added time spent mixing, kneading, and resting the dough, this bread was lightening fast. I had defrosted it in the fridge the previous night so it was good and awake, and I pulled it out this morning to shape it and let it complete its final rise.


Prune Buns

Prune Buns

A week ago I started soaking our frozen, dehydrated Italian plums for this recipe and discovered after only a week that they were ready to use. These are little rolls wrapped around the soaked plums - I don't know if this is an English tradition, but I found similar recipes in both the Fergus Henderson cookbook (Beyond Nose to Tail) and Tea-soaked plumsGordon Ramsay's (Just Desserts).
