Flour, Flour & more Flour today…
First off, I need a pie/quiche dough for tonight’s dinner. I made this up early this morning, so it could hydrate in the fridge all day. (this will be enough for two, I’ll freeze half for a later date)
Then I made up some tortilla dough, so I could make up some tortillas for Neighbor #2, lately her lunch has consisted of burritos, quesadillas & flautas. I roll these balls out with a rolling pin, then a quick hot dry fry and they’re perfect. One of these days, I might get a tortilla press.
Then I needed some bread for tomorrow night’s dinner. I’m planning cheese and tuna hot pockets with tomato soup. So more flour, yeast and some time, and a beautiful loaf of bread – ready to be sliced for tomorrow’s hot pockets.
Refrigerated dough kept at room temp until about 60 f, slightly flattened, then baked at 350f until “puffed and light gold around the edges but pale and steamy in the middle” about 14 minutes.
Last night, after being housebound and very ill for many days, I could tolerate having no sweets on hand no longer.
I busted out a tube of frozen dough from the xmas baking season; I had screwed up the recipe somehow and the cookies didn’t bake as intended, so after making a single test tray, I froze the dough in frustration to deal with later. I also recall I had used my fanciest butter and fanciest chocolate in the recipe, and hated to toss it all away.
All that to say, I ate four or five quite warm cookies at midnight last night. I’m not sorry.
You’ll have to change the shape to fit your hamburgers, and you may want to cut the recipe in half – but I think the kiddo will love these rolls/buns!!
The recipe and instructions are in the description.
I’ve made them quite a few times… really good!!
Here is my attempt…
Extra buttery vanilla madeleines. The batter rested overnight and my silicone molds were in the freezer for an hour before baking. Chocolate coating is optional but since my family tasted chocolate coated once they think it’s the norm. Tomorrow is a mid milestone birthday for Dh so we will have them in the afternoon with some cappuccino. Recipe is from Dorie’s Anytime Cakes.
