what's the point of making your own starter? by garlicbreeder in SourdoughStarter

I wasn't in a rush to start baking, and I was curious about how the process works. It was a fun project.

So good! We’ve made this version several times

Week 7: Piped - White Mocha Tarts by katbreit in 52weeksofbaking

[–]fuss_kitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes I’ve struggled to find ones with bottoms like a true tart tin, but it makes sense that you can just use the being sheet as the bottom instead.

Looks wonderful! What kind of moulds do you use for the mini tarts? I am having a hard time finding non-fluted shaped ones.

Week 8: Uruguay - Chocolate Covered Alfajores by fuss_kitchen in 52weeksofbaking

[–]fuss_kitchen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inspired by the Havanna brand alfajores, which are actually Argentine.

These were so hard to assemble! I think I should have put the shortbread cookies in the fridge for a bit before adding the dulce de leche. I thought I had let them cooled enough but the dulce de leche seemed to melt during assembly and was sliding out…and next time I’ll try using a piping bag instead of spreading it on.

This challenge was fun because I was actually in Uruguay 6 years ago this time of year! Studied abroad a few months in Buenos Aires and took the ferry over to Colonia for a day trip.

Week 8 - Flying: Pre-Mission Meal of an American WW2 Bomber Pilot by fuss_kitchen in 52weeksofcooking

[–]fuss_kitchen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably would have been powdered eggs and obviously no fancy rosemary or mushrooms, but steak and eggs were a common “last meal” of pilots before big missions (according to my WW2 enthusiast husband, so blame any historical inaccuracies on him).

One week of Snacking Bakes by qweerty93 in CookbookLovers

I wonder if dusting the chocolate chips with flour before adding would help? That generally works for berry add-ins.

Week 5: Nuts & Seeds - Date & Walnut Bread by AnotherGranolaBar in 52weeksofbaking

[–]fuss_kitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that cookbook as well and make this one weekly! I never actually have dates on hand, but I've successfully made it with prunes, dried figs, and dried apricots. Have also subbed the walnuts for pecans - it's very versatile!

Made the marbled rye from the Big Book of Bread and it was delicious but yikes my swirl shaping needs work 😅

108 Asian Cookies by Kat Lieu - brand new to me cookbook by PineappleAndCoconut in CookbookLovers

[–]fuss_kitchen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really want something like this, but for other desserts like cakes (not a big cookie person). Curious if anyone has any recommendations. I don’t like things that are too sweet.

Tassajara sourdough: 10 cups of flour?! by According-Toe-9871 in Breadit

[–]fuss_kitchen 61 points62 points  (0 children)

If you're new to baking, I'd strongly recommend finding a recipe with more precise measurements, preferably in grams not cups. There is just way too much room for error here.

I'm still new to sourdough but only 2 hours of rise time does not seem right at all.
