Bread .......any kind

When it comes to biscuits, muffins, and these sort of non-yeast doughs...you want to minimize the amount of mixing.

You'll know when you overmixed if your dough is smooth.

When baked, you'll have a rough texture and your product won't be as moist.

 

I made my Italian soda bread inspired by quickvette

 

Ha you got the name right

So that's the Italian version

 

Sorry about the spelling!

Something like this: https://bakerrecipes.com/fishermans-bread-pane-del-pescatore-recipe-2/

But I only use 1/4 cup of currants instead of 3/4 cup raisins and instead of candied peel I use some orange and lemon zest.

 

Sounds way better, I hate raisins

And no I meant you got my name right cause it's an old username meaning "Quick Corvette"

Have owned many, and down to two. A stroker C4 and C5Z.

 

I am so sorry for your losses -

Thanks for posting this - I am gonna have to give it a try soon; gonna have to get some buttermilk!
For the kneading part, was it kneading or folding b/c folding with the plastic wrap kinda makes sense but kneading is a bit confusing.

 

Coffee cake, sour cream coffee cake, and cream cheese pound cake





Loving this pound cake so much

 

Sorry I just typed what was on the recipe but yes, fold not knead.

 

Ah ha - okay, that I do get!

Also - that pound cake.. mmm...mm...mmm .. looks sooo good.
I love pound cake, but I will inhale it all in a day

 

Yeah, I'm already doing that I need to stop

Already texted my neighbor asking if he wants the big round one cause all this is bad for me

 

I do that too!

I take Cuban bread to my neighbor so I don't eat it all and I trade buns to my other neighbor for some of his venison.

 

Anyway in case someone wants to make some (highly recommend)

390g all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
340g butter, unsalted (room temp, I softened mine)
226g cream cheese (room temp)
600g sugar
6 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
zest of lemon or orange (optional, I did lemon)

Preheat to 350 conventional, 325 convection

Sift and mix dry

Cream your butter, sugar, and cream cheese

Important to make sure it's smooth, no lumps

Add egg into your wet, little at a time, then add vanilla

Add dry until incorporated, do not overmix

10" round pan with parchment, or you can spread it across a 9" round pan with parchment and loaf pan with parchment

Bake for an hour to an hour and 15mins

When removing from oven, let it sit on your pan for about 5-7 minutes

 

You are gonna cause me to make pound cake - I think I have all of the ingredients in the house even = no excuses

 

Do it!

Only hard part is waiting for it while it's in the oven.

 

pound cake = Sunday

[I know there is an everything pizza thread]
but pizza dough is bread too!

Thursday = Ras/al/hanout mushroom + goat cheese calzones
Friday = Tolouse/goat cheese pizza + Bacon/Pineapple pizza

 

You lost me at pineapple but goat cheese calzone

 

Yea I am not even gonna debate the pineapple thing - some like it, some hate it . . . it is what it is.
During the summer, when I have fresh peaches, I use them instead - probably some blasphemy to you but the sweet/sour goes really well with the salty/smoky bacon..

The goat cheese/mushroom calzone - came out great; has been a work in progress and slathering it with EVOO/salt and then dunking it in good EVOO as I ate it was super tasty.. I got the idea from some TV show - cook mushrooms with some onion, garlic and ras/al/hanout [Moroccan seasoning] and put in the calzone with goat cheese - it is almost perfect, next time - more goat cheese and I think I will have it 100%

 

Questions:
Did this make 2 loaf pans of pound cake or one?
I ask b/c in your photo it looks like there is one round one and one loaf one -

I have a convection oven but rarely use the function; I stick with the conventional and rotate things 1/2 thru baking - which did you use?

 

You'll have enough for two of your choosing; the round was a 9" x 2" and the loaf was some medium sized pan.
