This posting is for a variant on Overnight 40 Percent Whole Wheat Bread, with two key changes.  First, I wanted to start and complete the bread in one day.  Second, I wanted to use some of my 50/50 sourdough starter.  This took about 7 hours end to end and turned out a fine loaf of Read More …

Six-Grain Honey Sourdough Boule

This is based on a King Arthur Flour recipe.  The bread turned out well, but the top looked strange, as shown in the photo.  I made deep 2 x 2 cuts in a hashtag (#) pattern, and it made the top look very segmented.  The next time, I will make a simple cross-shaped cut. This Read More …

Alaskan Sourdough Bread Mix

This posting is a product review.  I bought a box of Alaskan Sourdough Bread Mix from King Arthur Flour, since it was on sale.  I mostly followed the instructions with a couple of enhancements.  I let the dough rise for 2 hours, formed it into a ball and gave the dough a second rising of Read More …

Egg Nog Cake

We had half of a Tres Leches Cake base in the freezer and I had a brainstorm about soaking the cake in Egg Nog instead of with the usual three milks which gives the cake its name.  I put the cake on a sheet of aluminum foil inside a baking pan, and folded up the Read More …

Egg Nog

This recipe makes enough egg nog to soak half a 9 x 13 inch cake.  It is adapted from Texas Home Cooking.  Egg Nog (with cooked eggs) is essentially a thin custard, and the key issue with all custards is not to get the mixture too hot since you do not want to create sweet Read More …

Sapporo-Style Butter Corn Miso Ramen

This post will be more of a commentary and memorialization of a recipe rather than the recipe itself.  I recently bought Tim Anderson’s Tokyo Stories which is about the wide range of Japanese foods available in contemporary Tokyo, and I picked this dish to try because it was an example of the breadth of styles Read More …
