  Along the way, this Basque style Cheesecake with its, delightfully, oozing center showed up. I am glad it did! With my oven, it has taken three tries to get it to this stage. Time and effort well spent! The recipe from King Arthur flour is simplicity in itself.  5 ingredients! All you do is mix the ingredients into a smooth mixture, pan it and into the oven. How complicated is that?   The recipes specifies a ring form pan.  And you probably do need one. But, even if you need to go buy one, it is worth it!  I am sure you can find the recipe on the King Arthur Flour website. If not, drop me a note and I will send it to you. #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood  As always, your comments or questions are welcome.

  Sometimes you just need a bun. A sesame seed hamburger bun that is.   These buns fit the bill nicely! These were made using a recipe from King Arthur Flour. It had been a while since I made these.  Glad I revisited this bread.  We do not use a full batch of buns at one time.   They freeze quite nicely. #LifeLongTeaching #LifeLongLearning #FamilyFood  As always, your comments or questions are welcome.

These demi baguettes were made using a variation of my regular formula.   My normal recipe uses AP flour.   I typically use King Arthur flours for all my baked items.   This one used their bread flour.   Everything else was the same.    I like this bread better than my normal demi baguette.   The dough felt better and the caramelization (Maillard effect) of the dough is outstanding.   Overall, I think this is a better product.   I need to repeat this to see if the results are replicable.   To think, this came out the need to utilize some surplus bread flour.   My normal recipe is a loose adaptation of a “Four Hour Baguette” recipe by Daniel Leader.   This bread is a standard in my kitchen.   I may have a new standard!   #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood #Bread #StaffOfLife As always your comments or questions are welcome.
