I’ll be posting this while I bake. So watch for updates.
I am able to bake really good bread, but I can’t seem to get the crust as crunchy as I’d like. I comes out pretty crunchy if I bake in one of these. he problem is, It is a large round loaf that, while quite yummy, is not the shape needed for lunches. I need a loaf….yeah, Serious First World Problem.
The trick to a great crust, according to the ‘experts’ is getting it to steam inside of a closed vessel. It works fairly well as proved above.
I always use the Poolish method for a starter for any bread or pizza dough. The poolish (or starter), made the night before. Its a little flour, yeast, and water. The Poolish is ready to go.
the bread will be baked in one of these.
The manufacturer says that this can handle up to 6-7 cups of flour. I want room for expansion so 5 cups flour will be the start point not including the Poolish. Flour should be weighed. so 5 cups is about 600g which is about 22oz of bread flour, 100g or 3.5 oz of semolina, 4 tbs olive oil, 2 tsp sugar, 2 1/2 tsp salt, 4 tsp of Baker’s Special Dry Milk, just a dach of yeast to help out, and 18 oz of water =/- to get the texture right.
Put it all in the stand mixer on low for 5 minutes. I reserve some of the water for later. Mix it and then let it sit for 10-15 minutes while the flour absorbs the water.
I had to add a little water to the dough and now 10-15 minutes of stand mixer on slow. The dough should just stick to the bottom of the bowl and not the sides. The gluten process starts here in this and the previous step and finishes after the proofing and rising. After a few minutes, the gluten strands are evident in the dough.
The manufacturer says to let it rise for 30 minutes in an oiled bowl, then shape it, and put it in the loaf baker for an hour. I oiled and cornmealed the pan so it doesn’t stick. OK…here we go!
Brush the top with water, 3 1/2 inch deep cuts, dust with flour, and into the 475 oven for 45 minutes.
All finished!
Perfect!

Reposted from last thread:
Basic bread recipe (very similar to the French/Italian recipe we use at work)
4 and 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp salt
1 tblsp sugar
1 tsp yeast
3 tblsps Oil (I prefer olive and you can up or down the amount depending on your tastes)
1 1/3 cup of warm water (here’s the tricky part)
As to the water. It depends on how hard your water is. The harder the water, the more of it you need. I am tending to use 1 and 2/3 cups of water to get a decent dough. Sometimes almost two cups.
If you have a mixer (recommended) mix at a low speed for about 3-4 minutes with the dough hook. then for about 5 minutes at a higher speed.
Turn out of the bowl and round into a ball, cover with a plastic sheet and let sit for about ten minutes allowing the autolyse to set in (makes it easy to work with after). Or let it sit for an hour to rise first until it’s doubled in size.
Punch down and shape it as you desire (for making a french loaf (or italian) roll it out long). Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and let rise for about another hour. Humidity helps with this. Better the humidity the better the rise. Proofing features on ovens help, with a bowl of boiled water.
If proofing in an oven, remove after it’s risen to the size you desire and let rest for ten minutes uncovered.
Preheat oven to about 400 degrees or more.
Cut bread however you like (three diagonal slashes for french, long straight one down the center for italian)
Place in oven, spray floor with water and set temperature to 375 and bake for 30+ minutes.
This has been the recipe I have used more or less for the past 8 years since I have been baking my own bread. Each time I have moved I have had to adjust the water due to differences in areas.

Should we be worried that all the Democratic presidential candidates combined have raised far more money than Trump has? Is there enough Trump Derangement Syndrome out there that we could be stuck with one of these lunatics starting next January?

look at the numbers, tho, and Trump is doing better than Bush and Obama did. Also, people are forgetting that there are A LOT of Dem candidates this time, so that adds up. Let’s see how it goes when there is one Dem nominee. Bernie has a new fund raising strategy this time, too. It’s a subscription service. So keep your head on your shoulders and feet on the ground.
I understand there’s a new documentary coming out, don’t know what the venue will be. a 4 hour marathon on – wait for it – Hillary.

Every one of these laws is going to get passed. Maybe some of these people will be voted out, but the laws will still be on the books
They get to question the House Managers after both sides present their cases. It’s a shame they aren’t allowing cameras. It’ll be fun to watch Schiffty and NoNads start squirming when they are no longer in charge of the examination process.
I’d personally fajita Schiff over those hearings in the bunker and why the President’s counsel was not permitted to attend. Then I would slice and dice him over the bogus “obstruction of Congress” article and Executive Privilege. I don’t recall if the Senators themselves get to question or if only the counsel for the President is permitted, but Schiffty is going to need several pairs of depends when Cruz, Sekelow, Lee and Starr finish him off.
Meanwhile, there are some pretty good candidates running in his district reminding them that Schiff hasn’t done a thing for them. And these clowns from California have a LOT to answer for here at home.

To be fair, they aren’t huskies or border collies and most beagles you will meet come from lines bred for show. Bonnie and Mia came from lines bred to hunt, their breeders don’t give a toss about the AKC, they go with Field and Trial. So THIS kind of beagle is much closer to a border collie w/o the discipline because their sole purpose in life is to have fun.

While we will never gratuitously attack Clinton to ingratiate ourselves to her critics, we cannot sit back while the Democratic party establishment tries to minimize and tear down the mass movement Sanders has helped build. That includes the Obamas, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders who over the past two decades have proven unable (or unwilling) to stem a rising and emboldened right wing in America, while they continue to peddle the fiction that Sanders and his voters are “too far left”. It is long past time for a progressive overhaul of the entire party, and it would better for our country and our future if Democratic leaders encouraged the Sanders movement rather than try to erase it.

While the current crop of would be secular humanist Primary wannabe losers play, gouge the one currently on the floor, we should look at how these creatures got to where they are. And discover why the Millennials can’t see their obvious short-comings.
Like so much going on schools these days very little is what it seems. The boosters of State sponsored secular education, by which they mean that schools should not have religious instruction, are on a hiding for nothing, because religion will not disappear from schools, even if they manage to abolish the Bible and its stories. The secular ‘religion’ of autonomous self-realisation will simply replace it. A secular education is neither morally nor philosophically neutral.
Secularism has no inbuilt resistance to totalitarianism because it is its own judge and it can supply no good reason for humility. The presumption of secularism’s authority is a consequence of its own hubris.
Two hundred years ago John S Mill in chapter 5 of “On Liberty” had this to say, among other things, on education.
“A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another; and as the mould in which it casts them is that which pleases the dominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, an aristocracy, or the majority of the existing generation, in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by a natural tendency to one over the body.”
An unexamined secular education is an even greater threat to young minds than the Bible because it feigns the gratuitous authority of neutrality. What’s more it thinks that authority to be a good thing. Without the alleged overarching “tyranny” of the biblical declaration of human dignity pupils will be free to reach their “full potential” although just what full potential might mean we are not told.
The nature of the authority assumed over the minds and bodies of children by contemporary State education is evident in a number of ways. It might be the politicisation of teaching English literature in the context of women’s rights, pacifism, sexual identity and most recently transgenderism. Chronological snobbery, a consequence of having no belief in transcendent or permanent truth encourages constant revisionism in the teaching of history.
GK Chesterton got it right when he said, “When man ceases to worship God he does not worship nothing, he worships anything” Chesterton might have added, “especially himself”.
The issue spins around what it means to be human. The Bible teaches us that we have been created male and female in God’s image. Maleness and femaleness possess a dignity given to us by God. It is this belief in God-given dignity that gave to Western civilisation the liberating realisation that human beings are in possession of the way to freedom. And the appropriate response to that is gratitude not the overarching hubris of self-realisation.
Neither Mr Hipkins nor his co-belligerents have made any new discoveries about what it means to be human or the nature of freedom. Freedom to choose is certainly intrinsic to our humanity but that freedom involves, at the very least, we choose the best over the good, but most significantly right over wrong.
According to secular doctrine the individual human being is alone in the world. Dignity is discovered in the right to make any autonomous decision because that’s what it means to be human. Self-realisation is the epitome of humanness.
It is not possible to have sinners anymore, only victims. The biblical narrative of the sinner seeking forgiveness and redemption is replaced by the victim forever seeking refuge in human rights. The capacity for evil does not lie in the heart of man or woman. The mystery of both good and evil can be solved by a secularised and dechristianising education. Prometheus is the hero not Jesus Christ.
So we have two conflicting religions with radically different ideas of freedom. , Biblical Christianity teaches that freedom is the gift of submission to a redeeming God who reconciles human beings to themselves.
The religion of self-realisation teaches freedom is found in self-realisation. Socially constructed identity is all.
So we should not be surprised that contemporary education would teach its pupils to believe a fantasy; that they can make the world what they would like it to be. The authority of desire is nothing other than the individual ego. Even the ancient Greeks knew that.
The obvious irony should cause us to take pause. The dignity given to us by our Creator and our understanding of equality is presumed all the while rejecting that same Creator’s authority and provision. The fantasy is a parasite sucking the juice of life from its host. The only identity that cannot speak its name is the one that holds up the roof from which all the others shout.
Snowflakes please take note!

Ugh. No. They are hunting dogs and need a lot of exercise. Also if they get a taste for blood, it is even harder. My uncle lives on a farm and had one. Despite having +100 acres to roam, his Beagle kept wondering over to the neighboring farm’s chicken coop and went on a killing spree. The neighbor was kind enough to call (he knows whose dog it was). After the second time it happened, my unlce and the dog had a “hunting accident.”

@ Buckeye Abroad:
yeah, but that’s not unique to beagles, altho it’s unusual for a single dog. There’s a reason why most attacks on humans are done by multiple dogs, and that’s usually true of attacks on livestock. Or wildlife even. My Tramp, a border collie, managed to kill a possum with my cousin’s beagle mix, Cory He’d never killed before or since. Cory, however, was an assassin. The cat population in the neighborhood was decimated inside of 3 months after she arrived. Yeah, dogs sometimes kill. And multiple dogs are more likely to attack than singles.
I gather the so-called trial was in session until 2 am. Wonder if anything actually happened.

TBH, I’m not paying attention. While I was doing dinner prep I heard Rush say Schiff said something about not being able to trust the ballot box, but that’s all I know.
All the remarks are psycho. Those people live in an asylum and think it’s reality. Oh, another thing I did hear is that Schiff lied about Parnas speaking to Zelinsky when apparently it was the head of Burisma he’d spoken to. Schiff obviously lied about it because he redacted the remainder of the memo that would have made that clear. Did he lie to Nadler about it? Who cares? What difference does it make? The entire thing is a lie. There’s going to be no resolution to this. These people are going to continue in this matrix world until they go absolutely mental on camera and start eating their own flesh.
