Bread Baking: Cheese and Sesame Flatbreads

Would work on a grill, too. Too hot for the oven, but these DO look good.

$u$hi. Only saving grace is I live so far from a decent restaurant.

Sunday Brunch: St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake

Seven grams of active dry yeast is about the same as US packages of 2.25 tsp. Go for it!!

Sunday Brunch: St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake

Yum. This is similar to my recipe. I let mine rise in the baking pan, though; makes the dough easier to deal with (as does lightly greasing the baking pan). It is done when the top is all wavy and up and down looking -- top should be golden brown but still gooey -- not set all the way. Glass pan worked best for me.

Cook the Book: Spotted Dog

There is something wrong re this buttermilk-egg thing. Unless the egg is slurping up the buttermilk, it is not related to egg size. There is more buttermilk called for than is used, egg or no egg! Adding it to an egg would just make the error worse. I am not sure what using buttermilk (which would not be mixed with egg at this point) would do on the top of the bread -- maybe make it shiny? I doubt it makes too much difference unless the 1.5 measure in the Procedure is also wrong. I may try this recipe later today and see.

Thanks for this post. I find a bench knife works really well in stretch and fold at the start of kneading this type of dough.

Dinner Tonight: Welsh Rarebit with Brussels Sprouts

Sounds so good, and I love Brussels sprouts, in any form. But why such explicit instructions about 2 oven rack positions and then nothing about where to put a (single??) cast iron pan? Just curious -- but it really does sound like a great combo.

Help with New Years lamb dinner

I'd add a little extra garlic, some thyme, and at the end, before mantecare, add some flageolet beans and some small artichokes (jarred in oil can work fine). A fine rack of lamb calls for something special, IMO! But the pea sounds good, too!

Is Throwdown an ego trip?

I enjoy the show and his assistants, too. Good playing off one another all around. What did worry me at first was the part at the beginning where he says "I might win; I might even lose". Might even? Then, as someone pointed out, he rightfully loses far more often than he wins. It is actually easier to see Bobby Flay in this show than anyone else I can think of right off. Most chefs could not possibly deal with the losses, even in a setup.

Poll: The Patty Melt — Is It a Burger?

I dunno....If it was a burger they shouldn't have had to come up with a "special name" for it. But the Louis thing is pretty compelling.

'Made in England' Meat Grinder Parts

Knife Skills: How to Clean and French a Lamb Rack

Nice work, and I am looking forward to tomorrow. Breed can make a difference. I raise Icelandic sheep on pasture and want to thank you for mentioning that there ARE American raised sheep available! I inquired about Icelandic lamb at one high end grocery only to be told that their lamb was American. Ooops, I will be more careful next time! Icelandic meat falls into the category of "possibly too mild" for many people (despite grass feeding) as it a rather lean so has less fat and correspondingly less "sheepiness". They are also on the smaller side. If you like lamb, try to find some. Even older ewes and rams are comparatively tender and mild.
