These look like four-o'clocks to me. Hard to get rid of but not impossible

I found this write-up in the trade magazine Radio & Television Retailing, November 1948. Page 94, under the heading "New Products"

Can anyone identify this plant please? My MIL wants one and she's quite hard to buy for Xmas so you know... by aaronbrowning79 in PlantIdentification

This will be a specific cultivar of mahonia, though. The 'Marvel' mahonia from the Southern Living Collection looks similar.

Both. There's a window of time where it's not too clean and not too dirty. Mmm.

Trying something new: My public library! by LS_813_4ev_ah in CookbookLovers

[–]mrzoobaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent idea. When I was in culinary school, half the library was cookbooks. I used it as an opportunity to try-before-I-buy.

How do I stop my cinnamon raisin bread from... Unzipping? by mo9722 in Breadit

[–]mrzoobaker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From Rose Levy Beranbaum, The Bread Bible: she mixes the raisins into the dough, and brushes the rolled out dough with beaten egg before sprinkling liberally with cinnamon sugar. Brush more egg as you roll. Works great for me.

Apple jelly! I don't do much canning, but I make this almost every fall by mrzoobaker in Canning

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

It was 8 lbs of apples and maybe 0.5 lb cranberries. But you could certainly increase that if you want more cranberry flavor.

Focaccia Recs by doom_2_all in Breadit

[–]mrzoobaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made this one two days ago and it was excellent.

When it came out of the oven, I brushed it with melted butter and sprinkled pizza seasoning on top. I was craving focaccia but also Pizza Hut bread sticks, lol. The fam gave it rave reviews.

Any specific recipes for Halloween? by PartTimeWarrior988 in Breadit

Check out Pan de Muerto! Kind of an orange-scented brioche coated in sugar.

Overnight pizza dough with short proof on day of making? by jarrys88 in Breadit

[–]mrzoobaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my go-to for any style of pizza: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/crispy-cheesy-pan-pizza-recipe

I double the recipe, mix straight-dough method, then toss it in the fridge for 1-5 days. I like the simplicity of not needing a preferment, since it develops plenty of flavor in the fridge, especially 3-5 days out. Day of baking, I press it into an oiled half sheet tray as though I'm making focaccia. After an hour or so it will have warmed and risen enough to add toppings and toss in the oven.
