Jane in NC Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We seem to have a lot of "What's for dinner?" threads but I'd love to know what's in the oven ;). This week I made challah, corn muffins with dried cherries, oatmeal cookies with raisins (shipped out for Valentine gifts), and a blueberry pie. How about you?

Joyofsixreboot Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cupcakes, pumpkin bread, banana bread, biscuits and bread. Can you tell I make our snacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nothing exciting - pizza crust, bread, pumpkin muffins, homemade English muffins, and a cinnamon bun thing off of pinterest that involved canned biscuits - and of course that is what the kids are begging me to make again. do chocolate covered strawberries count? they sure are time consuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I made coconut cake for DS9's birthday. It is to die for! Oh, and Clone of a Cinnabon for his birthday breakfast. We very rarely eat such things, so it was a banner day here. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Blueberry coffee cake, because the berry-hating husband was traveling and we take our fruity opportunities when we can. Oh, and semolina pita bread to go with lamb meatballs. Not too shabby, although I think the high baking temperature did bad things to my oven; it's acting all weird now.

cjzimmer1 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins earlier in the week for my husband's breakfast. Today I made Honey Wheat Bread and Asiago cheese bread (my sister couldn't think of a single thing she wanted for Christmas and so she asked to suscribe to the "bread a month" club and today she was stopping by for her monthly pickup). Tomorrow I will make Mint Chocolate Chip cookies and Monster cookies for a bake sale at church next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Bread + cinnamon rolls. I made Farm Journal's basic bread and Julia Child's white bread, both into one loaf and one batch of cinnamon rolls, and tonight I made another round of dough from Edna Staebler into cinnamon rolls. I'm trying to decide which I like best and whether using an egg or milk make the dough better or not!, and helped my kid make sugar cookies from Baking Unplugged.

Colleen in NS Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ouch. Oops! :D Do share the secret and recipe! Regards, Kareni It's probably not a secret to anyone else, but it was a mystery to me for years! I stopped using eggs in baked goods years ago, due to allergies. When the egg allergy went away, I still kept baking eggless goods, because it saved money for us. But a few months ago, I finally got sick of the crumbly "brownies" that I'd made for years, and investigated on the internet. I discovered that eggs and *butter* (not oil as I'd been using, too) were the key. I realized that the egg structure in the batter is what held the brownies together, and I'm not sure what butter does as opposed to oil (maybe it hardens as the brownies cool, whereas the oil just fries or stays liquidy? I'm not sure...anyone with a chemical or physical explanation for me out there??). Here is the recipe I came up with, based on my research (it's for a 9 x 13 inch pan): 1 c. melted butter (no, I don't know if margarine will work - I kind of doubt it) 2 c. sugar 4 eggs 2 t. vanilla 1/2 c. cocoa 1 - 1 1/2 c. flour 1/4 t. salt 1/4 t. baking powder Mix it all up in a bowl. Spread batter in a pan. Bake at 350 F for 30-45 minutes til a toothpick comes out mostly clean. (you have to play around with the time yourself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I am a slacker. I only made a loaf of sandwich bread and ONLY because we were out of bread. I need to make more bagels this weekend because the last batch disappeared. I'm putting it off because I want to experiment with non-diastic malt and that involves a trip to a store that I've never gone to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 7yo dd made 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies. :D I loved it because she remembered the recipe and did the whole thing independently, except for taking them out of the oven. 10yo dd made rice krispie treats, but that didn't involve baking. ;) I used to bake often, and I love reading all of the yummy things you all made.

I'm dying trying to find a brand of sandwich bread in the grocery store that doesn't have HFCS or PHO in the ingredients. My problem with making homemade bread to use for sandwiches is that it usually is too crumbly and soft. So if you don't mind sharing, I need a good sandwich bread :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
