slow cooked crock pot roast with quartered potatoes, and zucchini bread buttered heavily...

hey, this zucchini bread sounds kinda interesting. How is it actually made though - I´ve not heard of it before. ?

In strange, foreign lands such as new jersey USA they have so much ,zucchini they literally throw away huge amounts.
Now that there will be this co-growing with Florida, I predict lots and lots , massive amounts along the side of I-95

I´m also not sure what `co-growing´ with other US states means.???

basically a scratch cake mix with a little cinnamon and peeled/grated zucchini in it. lots (damn near all!) of folks add chopped pecans or walnuts too. not to worry, you can't taste the zucchini...stuff is wonderful warm and smeared with butter. :yummy:

baking various breads is my only lack of cooking skill. no biscuits, no cornbread, nothing. if i learned how, i'd weigh 400 damn pounds before New Years Ever got here. i have nearly zero self control in the presence of good bread of any type. maybe LESS than zero... :redface:

i hear you.i can bake but making pizza dough has officially pissed me off enough to not want to bake again.until i get one of those expensive ass mixers im not doin it anytime soon

Oh, it´s a cake dough, not a bread dough? I gotta find a recipe online and check it out

hey, my choc biscuits won´t make you fat! They´re pretty healthy ( low sugar, low flour) , which is one reason why I make them

really, very easy if you remember that pizza dough is a sourdough. Someone claimed that pizza was invented by accident with leftover dough from the day before.
For the crust to be tasty and have a good texture, use bread flour and equal water by weight. Totally wet the flour and let sit for 1 hour-this is an autolyze reaction but you won't recognize it until you are experienced. Then knead and rest the dough. The less handling the better the bread-think gently folding and stretching. The rests are the most important in letting the gluten develop. The wetter the dough, the more it will puff up after baking-its the steam, hence water content, that causes puffiness.

bloody hell! did you have your picutre taken ? :biggrin:

I´ll write down the recipe for you soon

I never bothered to make any notes of it before, lol

armedoldhippy · Jul 23, 2023

how do you make it thin and crispy? i eat pizza for the toppings, thick chewy "crust" is an oxymoron to me... :dunno:

plus, i'm "supposed" to limit my bread intake because of diabetes. :badday:

making the dough is fairly easy with a hand held mixer. They´re usually not so pricey

The thing that pees me off about pizza ( and bread) dough is that you have to prepare it all in advance. You can´t say: Man, I´m hungry so I´ll just whip up a pizza quickly... It´s just not possible

And in my case, I also have to defrost the the sauce I made etc...

dunno about others peoples but mine often turns out a little thicker than I wanted too

You just gotta flatten out the dough more than you think at first because the dough will rise in the oven as it contains yeast.

lol, no way do we pay such prices over here !
But perhaps we´re not talking about the same type of mixers?
I found this page from Walmart.

Robot or human?

Those with two types of thingies - one for dough and the other for say thin pancake batter or dressings etc

that´s what I use all the time. I also have a set of the other ones in the first picture.
