Rosemary-Olive Sourdough Bread + A Better Way to Add Inclusions to Your Sourdough Bread + An Eggplant Meatball Update
|
One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is how to add X, Y, or Z ingredients to my loaf of sourdough bread. I have always added inclusions during the stretch and fold phase of the sourdough bread baking process, and as such, I have advised doing so upon being asked. Recently, I saw a recipe for an olive sourdough bread recipe that employs a different technique: lamination. Lamination calls for spreading the dough into a thin rectangle, scattering the inclusions over the top, then folding the dough envelope-style from right to left, then top to bottom. I tried the method using this simple sourdough recipe and was astonished to find the method not only to be easier than it looked but also easier than stretching and folding. Moreover, it was more effective: it more evenly dispersed the olives through the crumb of my baked loaf of bread. Find a recipe for a rosemary-olive loaf here, but use the method as you wish and laminate away with jalapeΓ±os and cheddar, dried cranberries and walnuts, or any combination your heart desires. There are step-by-step instructions and video guidance in the post π«ππ

Friends, hello. A few weeks ago, my daughter and I had lunch at GB Eats in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. I ordered the breakfast salad, a bowl of arugula, roasted sweet potatoes, crumbled bacon, and avocado dressed with a lemon vinaigrette and topped with two poached eggs. It was heavenly β so fresh tasting β and made me wonder why breakfast salads aren't more of a thing? Maybe they are and I haven't noticed, but with every completely satisfying bite, I found myself thinking: I could eat...
... pan pizza season! Last Sunday we all returned home late after a weekend of being in different directions in multiple states for various activities. The fridge was mostly bare except for a round of grandma pizza dough I had made earlier in the week. It looked slightly past prime, but I gave it a go, turning it out onto a buttered and oiled sheet pan, letting it rest briefly, then stretching and topping it simply: I had some homemade tomato "butter" on hand (from this recipe) and pepperoni....
