Another Way to "Roast" Peppers + Sourdough Discard Toasting Bread, Homemade Bruschetta Sauce & More
|
Hi Friends, At the start of this week, when summer finally arrived in Upstate New York, I found myself at the grill making chicken souvlaki and had a revelation: while it's hot, why not put it to more use? So I threw some peppers on the grates alongside the chicken, figuring I could use them in this favorite (no-peel) salad dressing or to have on hand for sandwiches or salads: The peppers took much longer than the chicken... ... and because I may have forgotten about them, and because they maybe got a little more charred than I would have liked, I peeled them... ... then thinly sliced them, drizzled them with olive oil and good balsamic, and sprinkled them with flaky sea salt. They were so tasty! On grilled bread! All without turning on the oven! Hooray. (Find the recipe here with updated notes on how to grill the peppers in place of roasting.) A few days later, on went the oven again to make the above-pictured sourdough discard toasting loaf, another great recipe to have in your arsenal should you have embarked on a sourdough discard from scratch journey and have found yourself with mountains of discard in your fridge. It's very simple and will leave you with a soft but sturdy loaf, perfect, of course, for toast, but also great for sandwiches when freshly baked. I also outline in the post how to use sourdough discard in any bread recipe.

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive on this brioche bun recipe is if it can be used to make hot dog buns. It sure can! is how I always respond, supplying a rough guideline on how to do so. And while these exchanges in the comments section have been sufficient over the years, I thought it was time to give a hot dog bun recipe its own space. Here it is, a no-knead recipe, the dough identical in makeup to these brioche buns, with the mixing process simplified even further. If...
... perhaps we should brush up on our bagel-making? 🥯🥯🥯 Hi Friends, There is a bakery* in Bolton Landing that makes excellent bagels, chewy but light and perfectly seasoned. Every time we visit Lake George, we pick up a dozen and eat them all week, toasted, slathered with cream cheese, and topped with juicy, thick tomato slabs: It's heaven. This week I found myself missing those bagels, so I decided to make a batch. I hadn't made bagels in ages, and I had forgotten how quickly the dough comes...
Friends, hello! As you may know, we've spent the week at Lake George with Ben's family. The weather cooperated, our simple meal plan delivered, and the kids spent every second on the lake, swimming, fishing, wakeboarding. As planned, we grilled every night, until the last, yesterday, when the groceries ran out, forcing us to order pizza instead 🍕🍕 It came from the Hulett's Landing Marina, which has a lovely little shop with all the essentials from coffee and beer to pizza and dried pasta to...
