Begleitet mich heute, wie ich mein #sauerteigbrot welches ich eigentlich gestern Abend Backen wollte, nach 24h Kühlschrankgarre schlicht und einfach vergessen habe...
...und jetzt heute, nach 48h endlich backe und schaue, was draus wird.
For those curious on the resolution of the above cooker situation: we ended up going with a #Frigidaire Gallery model which was highly-rated on NYTimes #Wirecutter: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-gas-ranges/.
This has avoided many of the problems which plagued the Samsung, but (after three attempts at repair) still won't come up to pre-set temperature under the "Steam Bake" mode. Needless to say this is frustrating, as it's necessary to baby-sit the cooker until it actually hits the desired temperature.
I'm also finding that the steam bake reservoir is insufficient for baking bread at high temps (290C/550F), and fall back on an additional aluminium baking pan with about a quart of water for a typical bake. This largely evaporates during the pre-heat and baking periods.

I need a nap.
Got up early, baked a little bread, did a little interview (fuck the police), now I'm sluggish and I need to be lively in 3 hours.
I made these for breakfast today. They were amazing.
Finally, the post @bomkatt said she’d be interested in: Sweet Potato & Chorizo Hand Pies
The project is coming out of a a few months where I explored British style savory pies. They weren’t really my thing. This though was great—a merging of their pastry dough with more American flavors.

Latest addition to the rebuild: Pecan Pie using Damon Lee Fowler’s recipe, a go to for 20 years or so. Brown sugar instead of Karo, so it isn’t quite as sweet. And enough pecans to fill the shell. And a healthy dash of bourbon or whiskey.
