My Ira that looks good!

Except for those green peppers which I can't stand (they don't like me either).

All these foods on this topic look really good!!!!!

jackieba · 02-02-2007, 06:20 PM

Pizza looks beautiful Ira. Next time I'll try the cheese on the bottom and the hotter oven temp. Thanks.

I'm making a pizza tomorrow for the super bowl (making the dough tonight). I think I'm going to experiment and make a stuffed crust pizza, since I have a big bag of string cheese at home. Yummy!

I think I will continue the experiment and freeze half of the dough. I'm thinking I'll partially the pizza crust and freeze it that way. So, in two weeks, when I make the next pizza, I'll let you know how it turned out.

mycattaz · 02-03-2007, 06:56 AM

ira that sure does look good... Yumm!

the pizza pan I have , has holes in it.... should make it good

Tweaker Geek · 02-03-2007, 03:55 PM

Bella - back on post 363 when you asked about proofing - I meant in the fridge for 5-6 hours before taking out to rise again before shaping and baking, as Kevin answered. I'm sorry for not responding - I've been away from the boards for a few days - trying to catch up!

nurseypoo5 · 02-03-2007, 07:28 PM

im still tasting a pretty "sour" off taste to my bread. I made the crust and it was pretty good, i think the "stuff" on the pizza cut the taste, but the rolls i made from the other half were "off".

im using the carbolose version. Its kinda "sour" is that the off taste everyone is referring too? When you make sourdough bread does the off taste disappear due to the souring process (hidden in it?)

it's hard for me to get past, but i've been using less splenda than i think im supposed to because i have the old liquid (the VERY sweet version) and i never new how to convert the amount.

hopefully more splenda will cut that taste...

hi ya tweaker, that's ok, i have been busy too.. thanks for responding tho. i have been cooking all day. i made the cinn dough recipe, bread recipes, and let them proof in a ziploc bag 5 hrs. they blew up huge in the bag...ok, i thought this was gonna be great. when i started to seperate and roll into rolls, the dough kinda pooped out on me. they did not rise again and i couldn't get them to form a ball/roll. sooo.. next time i will roll out the balls of dough, let them raise and proof in the fridge in the same muffin top pan that i bake them in and they should be fine. by the way, i did save one roll and i rolled out very thin and fried pieces of it. i then added blueberry sf syrup drizzled over them. delish! thanks!

rexsreine · 02-04-2007, 09:22 AM

...I got into the sourdough (I have four long posts on the subject) in the first place was because of the off tastes I picked up from every bread recipe I had tried that used Carbquik or carbalose. I found I could eat those breads only if they were made into sandwiches or something else that contained strong-tasting ingredients to hide the off flavors. I thought I might get used to this "flavor" after awhile, but I didn't. Not all people even taste this - for example, my husband does not. Kevin's breads have certainly been the best of the Carbquik/carbalose recipes and he did a lot of fine, pioneering work on the texture of the breads. Until some other miracle "flour" ingredient comes along - one with no off flavors - I'll continue to use the sourdough method to make bread, buns, and pizza. It is truly not difficult; in fact, it's a lot of fun to watch the process.

Zuleikaa · 02-04-2007, 06:00 PM

Well I did carbalose #4 for a loaf of bread. I put it in the pan and put it in the refrigerator to proof. I took it out to finish rising. It didn't rise as much as the others and it fell in the oven.

I am so disappointed.

I think I'll try the loaf again without the proofing.

Tweaker Geek · 02-04-2007, 06:20 PM

Bella - the fried dough sounds interesting. I may give it try one of these days.

Zuleikaa - sorry to hear that the bread fell, maybe someone else can shed some light on that. When I proofed my dough I rolled it in plastic wrap and it really expanded in that. When I took it out I punched it down and stretched it for pizza dough. I haven't done the proofing and made bread yet but plan to later. I have so much bread and rolls on hand and frozen now that I'm not baking anymore for a while.

Nursey - keep trying!

Ginny - I haven't tried a sourdough version yet but I used to make HC sourdough bread and rolls every week so I can't wait to get to try some.

Zuleikaa, the only time I proofed this recipe in the fridge was for the pizza and stomboli dough. When I made the bread I let it raise the regular way.
It was actually somebody who has a problem with the taste that suggested proofing it all the time. I actually like the taste of the bread when raised the regular way. JMO

I didn't like the carbalose version #1. I really couldn't eat it. The carbquik version or the carbalose version with WPI (#4) are both really good options.

Ugh! Has this been my problem?? I have been putting mine in the refridgerator to rise. The bread will rise a little bit and then a little more in the oven, but not even to the top of the baking dish!! So, it isn't supposed to be refridgerated? Just covered and left on the counter? I use aluminum foil to cover it, is that OK?
I'll be thrilled if this makes my bread rise more!!

Vicki, I give mine a light spray of pam or some such oil and cover mine with plastic wrap then set it in the microwave(off of course

) to rise. The oil keeps it from sticking to the plastic when it rises above the top of the pan. I guess foil would work too.

LoveMyGSDs · 02-05-2007, 06:51 AM

Well, I made the pizza dough on Saturday night, let it rise for an hour, then stuck it in the fridge over night. I left it out for a little over an hour before rolling it out.

I did find it VERY difficult to roll out (it too me 20 minutes just to roll out one pizza crust) and wonder if that happened because of proofing over night in the fridge?

I ended up using string cheese to make stuffed crust and it was awesome! DH and DSS loved it as well.

I have never let mine go over 8 hours(for stromboli) or 5 hours(for pizza).
The Stomboli dough I had to roll with a pin and I had to work at it but the more I rolled it the easier it got.
The pizza dough(at 5 hours) was stiff but I let it rest and rise a bit and was able to spread that with my hands.

Then I won't proof it except for pizza. I never had a problem with the bread rising before.

It did get easier as I rolled it. I rolled for a bit, the stretched with my hands, then rolled some more. Next time I don't think I'll make it the night before. I think I'll make it in the morning of the day I'm going to cook it and see if it's easier to roll.

CMIODOWS · 02-05-2007, 10:54 AM

We used to fry dough on special holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter) and have it for breakfast. We would fry up a piece and then split in in half and put some butter on it and a sprinkle of salt and eat with eggs. Haven't tried this with the bread recipe, but did with an old pizza dough recipe that Kevin gave us that used resistant corn starch. That dough works very well as a 'doughboy' or fried dough as we use to call it. Thought Bella might be interested.

ira500 · 02-05-2007, 11:41 AM

The "Simple White Bread-Carbalose #1) has been my universal dough lately.
That's what my pizza dough was. I've made several loaves of rye bread, substituting 1/2 a cup of dark rye flour for the same amount of carbalose, and adding 2 TBSP of caraway seeds...turns out great, especially covered with good pastrami.
I also used that same dough yesterday for cinammon rolls. OMG! is right. Dang!
I ate three of them!
In the past, a lot of low carb items I wouldn't gorge on because they didn't taste too good...This is pretty tempting.

thanks, cmiodows, i did try the fried dough experiment and it was excellant. i rolled a piece of dough very thin and cut it into diamond shapes and then made a slit in each piece. then i fried two at time and drizzled sf blueberry syrup on some and cinn and splenda on the other. they were great, kinda tasted like donuts....

magnamater · 02-06-2007, 08:26 AM

And don't forget the fried dough would be like sopapillas and beinets. . .oh boy!

I better save the fried dough for special rare occasions!
