Mushroom and Pepperoni Pizza My four days off went quickly this week. My washer died on Friday night so we went into Victoria on Tuesday to shop for a new one. We made a quick decision on a washer and dryer, finding what we wanted in the first appliance store. Moe was happy that he…

Moe’s Breakfast
Woke up to snow. Very annoying. Had planned to go into Victoria this morning for a little shopping, but after looking at the web cam on the highway through the Malahat we decided to have a lazy morning instead. Made a big breakfast. Pancakes and Bacon (with black pepper). This is my favourite pancake recipe….
All Day in the Kitchen
And loving every minute of it. I spent almost all day in the kitchen today. Started out early this morning feeding my sourdough starter and making a biga. While that developed I kneaded up dough for a batch of bagels. The last batch of bagels came out of the oven at 11:00 am. Next ,…
Chicken Stew and Dumplings
I meant to post the recipe for the Southern Style Dumplings to go with Friday’s post. I actually have three different dumpling recipes that I use, depending on the mood. The Bread and Parsley Dumpling and the regular Drop “fluffy” dumpling are both good in Beef stews too. I grew up eating “Bisquick Dumplings” ….
More Bagels
I love my days off when I can bake and just generally play in the kitchen. Bagels with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese I baked Bagels again yesterday. Last weeks batch was long gone. We had smoked salmon and cream cheese on bagels for lunch yesterday and this morning. (Using a photo I already had)…
Sourdough Bagels

Sourdough………..Bake Day
I started Sunday night by using some of my sourdough “mother” to make a Levain and then I fed the remaining starter. Both were left on the counter over night to develop. This is what the Starter looked like on Monday morning: And this is what the Levain looked liked. It started out as a…
The last of the PIzza Dough
Focaccia I used up the last of the pizza dough in a focaccia. Topped with garlic and olive oil, tomatoes, basil and salt and a few red pepper flakes.
Pizza Night – Two Nights in a Row
I followed Canadave’s instructions provided on The Pizza Making website, on how to stretch the crust, and his instructions on letting the dough rise for more than 24 hours. I used my regular Italian dough which is very similar to his recipe. One of Last Nights Pizzas I wanted to see if there was much…
