Southern Snow Day
« on: February 25, 2015, 03:57:41 PM »
3 inches of snow!  Oh noes!   :panic:  What are y'all making/baking while you're snowed in?

So far I baked this country boule since I wanted to use some white wheat.  It's cooling in the oven; I'll share bread porn pictures later.

Drool!

I made Omega Lambda's pain a l'ancienne last week. I still have some dough left in the fridge in the river house. I hope it didn't splode. There's snow in the forecast so I'm planning on baking a couple of baguettes from it tomorrow for my olive oil dip. I love snow day baking!

razorblade on a stick for slashing bread.  my slashes look awful with a regular knife, and uncovered razor blades are not good in the house with a very curious 6 year-old.

Ah, thanks! I had no idea there are special tools for slashing bread dough. My slashes look very amateurish, now I know why. Your breads look glorious though. Yum!

Seems like a $.61 cent boxcutter would work fine.  But "lame" certainly sounds more exotic :D

Well I want to buy pie weights.  I've been using rice wrapped in foil. (Yes, the same rice over and over, sometimes new foil).

we have an old coffee can of dried beans that have been our pie weights for well over 10 years now... I know we never use foil, but I can't recall whether we use parchment or not... I'm not generally the pie maker in the house

We in Massachusetts have baked so much recently that our freezers are full.

I like making bagels on snow days... I don't know why, but I find it very satisfying particularly in snowstorms.  Maybe because it's a good bread to bake in humid conditions?  Dunno.

That makes much more sense than baking macaron or merengue on a humid day!

I just made hamentaschen dough.  It'll sit in the fridge and we'll roll it out on Saturday.

Dev, I'm on amazon right now choosing what kind of lame to buy. Which kind did you get? the cheap one or the one made in France?
