This style of bread reminds me of the loaves of bread my grandmother always made. Makes wonderful dinner rolls too. Normally I make this by hand using the Autolyze Stretch and Fold Method. But decided since I was going to be making two – 1000g flour batches I decided to do in the Electrolux Magic…

Continuation of Low Salt Diet
All of our meals for most of the last month have been low salt. It really is an eye opener when you start really paying attention to the amount of salt one eats. Our recent meals since my last post in no particular order: Halibut pan roasted and finished in the oven. Served over rappini…
NEW LOW SALT DIET
Moe had blood work done recently that indicated some kidney issues. SO…… About 10 days ago we went on a reduced sodium diet. I couldn’t find any salt substitute that I found acceptable. So had to settle for Mrs. Dash’s Garlic and Herb. Not great but would do until the order I placed with Hot…

JIM LAHEY’S OVEN PIZZA METHOD
Last night’s pizza using the Jim Lahey method of baking the pizza under the boiler from start to finish. Forkish and Lahey both have oven methods for pizza and I’ve tried both. The Lahey’s method comes very close to the results I get using the Ooni and is almost as quick. Every oven is different…
