D 17 H 12 cm

W ~700 gr

Usually heavier, but I cut 150 gr out for pizza tomorrow

 

Use this recipe as guide, @ 7:35

1 loaf instead of baguettes

 

Use bread flour, and use a stand mixer.  Have made with the food processor, or you can even do by hand, just a little extra work kneading.

 

Rese 2X @ 30 mins each

 

Usually don't use sugar, or very little if a do, so use 'red' yeast ...

Thank your for your speedy reply.

17x12cm and 700g?

Is it a high density bread?

17cm is shorter than the length of one loaf bread(700g).

So I felt it might feel heavier when picked up.

Yes, more dense than anything store bought.  Considering a large loaf of 'Farmhouse' is 500gr.

 

When I make whole wheat or rye, even more dense.  Still kind of airy and springs back.   This loaf a bit less, with the extra seasoning (dry ingredients).

If use a stand mixer, I put all ingredients in, run for 6 mins on speed 1, then 6 mins on speed 2.

 

Take out of bowl, form a ball, cover, let it rise for 30 mins

Deflate, form a ball, stick it in pan (20cm ?), cover, let rise again 30 mins

 

in oven, 13 mins @ 230C, turn, then 17 mins @ 175C

Test internal temp, done at 190F

Thank you for your kind reply again.

As it is a very dense bread, do you slice it thinly when you eat it?

 

So when you eat it, do you usually thinly slice it?

What kind of mixer do you have?   Mine is okay, but it does not take attachments like the KitchenAid

Hello, rice cooker is the very versatile device, isn't?  A lot more than many people thinks.

I also like beans very much. Your post encouraged me to do it at home.

I currently eat peanuts each day(as the easiest bean to eat; can be taken without any further processing) though. 

Thank you for giving me a good inspiration.

Beans are generally healthy, but many, including peanuts, are high in purines, so if you're uric is high and you are prone to gout, be careful.

Good afternoon.

Another cool dish for today's lunch.

Bite-Sized  Steamed Chicken and Tossed Salad on Chinese Noodle, with Sweet & Hot Dressing(in a cup between tomatoes).

If your rice cooker is a bit basic, soak the dried beans (from Makro) in water overnight.

Alternatively, cook them twice in the rice cooker.

Good luck!

 

PS.

500gm of dried Navy beans (about 40bht) + 600gm of Rosa tomato sauce (44bht) makes about 2Kg of baked beans. Rehydrate and cook your beans in the rice cooker, then put the cooked beans in a saucepan with enough tomato sauce to make it the right consistency, and simmer for 10-15 mins.

Electrolux stand mixer, since it gets a lot of use, but think it's their low end model.  Has attachments, but I don't bother.  Makro grinds meat for you, so one less thing for me to clean.

 

Philips food processor, again, low end model, as doesn't really get used that much.  Will mix bread, but I think it struggles a bit.  Actually why I got the stand mixer.  Food processor is good for salsa and nut butters.

 

 

Apparently I got the stand mixer on a really nice sale from Electrolux on Shopee

I've had this Sharp for about 15 years, but I don't use it much anymore. I think it was 8K when I bought it (I think at Central) and it's about 8K now. I really liked the KitchenAid slicer-shredder attachment.

This has been my favorite kitchen thing for a while. Much, much better and more powerful than what I had before:

Good afternoon.

Today’s lunch set:

Fried Rice with Bite-Sized Chicken Fillet Steak and Salad.

And Milk Vegetable Soup(with pumpkin, okra, and potato).

 

 

[KhunLA]

Wife made a batch of comfort food, pork stew.  No different then if in USA, and having a batch of something (stew, soup) in frig, when feeling lazy in 'chilly' weather.  One minute in microwave, and lunch or dinner is ready.

 

Hot weather, leftover or deli meats & cheese always available to be wrapped, or put between a couple slices or in a roll, when feeling lazing and not wanting to heat up the kitchen.
