I made the no knead bread years ago back when it was all over the blogging world at one point but haven't really done it since. Her method (and pictures drooool) are making me want to try it again.</p> <p>So far at our house I've done minimal baking. Mostly because I can't share the treats with anyone to get them out of my house! I've made banana bread, homemade pizza dough-turned into stromboli. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914927 Mon, 04 May 2020 08:51:22 +0000 Mommy Finger 2914927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the banana bread! I've been buying tons of bananas and then giving away the bread. I'm not kidding, this is the BEST banana bread ever. </p> <p><a href="https://www.thebakerchick.com/the-best-banana-bread-ever" rel="nofollow">https://www.thebakerchick.com/the-best-banana-bread-ever</a></p> <p>Last night we wanted burgers but didn't have buns so I made these. Thankfully, yeast is back in stock. First time making them and they were pretty easy.</p> <p><a href="https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-your-own-hamburger-153290" rel="nofollow">https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-your-own-hamburger-153290</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914894 Sun, 03 May 2020 11:18:20 +0000 bhbee 2914894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I originally saw this video - the key for me has been to really touch it as little as possible which makes it just too easy to make :silly: </p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/I0t8ZAhb8lQ" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/I0t8ZAhb8lQ</a></p> <p>then I also saw basically the same recipe on here (I think it's probably everywhere) except she lets it sit and ferment overnight - I tried it for the rolls above and need to try it for the bread soon because I agree it really added to the flavor and texture. Basic method is the same though.</p> <p><a href="https://www.budgetbytes.com/no-knead-bread/" rel="nofollow">https://www.budgetbytes.com/no-knead-bread/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914893 Sun, 03 May 2020 10:40:11 +0000 foodiebee 2914893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So.

It’s really flexible — I’m out of rye flakes so we use all rolled oats, and I often (used to) sub in other things for the nuts so DD could bring them to school (generally pumpkin and sunflower seeds for the almonds and sesame seeds).</p> <p>I’ve also made banana bread a couple times, tried a few sandwich bread recipes, did one “artisan” type bread, made bagels, a couple different types of cookies, and brownies. Homemade pizza every Friday. Not baking, but we also made a delicious mint chocolate chip ice cream the other day. Somehow it didn’t feel like we were eating that much but it sounds like a lot here! Of course, we’ve been home since DD’s school closed on 3/12 so it’s not like we made all that over a week or something 😜 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914875 Sat, 02 May 2020 16:51:55 +0000 erinbaderin 2914875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I edited it in! And that lemon yogurt bread sounds amazing, I’m doing that next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914873 Sat, 02 May 2020 15:59:00 +0000 MrsJBeeG 2914873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I also made a fantastic white sandwich bread last weekend - it was in my cooks country magazine my DH got me for my birthday. I could probably find the link if someone is interested. It wasn’t hard and really was tasty for sandwiches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914872 Sat, 02 May 2020 15:57:16 +0000 MrsJBeeG 2914872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks awesome and what a fun thread!</p> <p>I made jalapeño cheddar rolls this morning per a DH request. </p> <p>I’m making lemon macaroons right now - I’ve never made them and always been intimidated to try but I decided to stop being afraid and make some today since it’s a quiet rainy Saturday at home. I think the macaroons look a bit flat as they rest but I’m hopeful they will turn out and taste great! </p> <p>I was going to make bagels but made some pizza dough instead. I may make some bagels tomorrow as they are my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914871 Sat, 02 May 2020 15:25:17 +0000 bhbee 2914871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: share the bagel recipe!! </p> <p>I have made the Dutch oven bread a fair amount also. I just discovered a rolls version that looks a bit less impressive since you don’t get that crust, but they were so good! <a href="https://www.budgetbytes.com/focaccia-rolls/" rel="nofollow">https://www.budgetbytes.com/focaccia-rolls/</a> (You need a lot of dusting flour to make the rolls work since it’s so soft)</p> <p>Also lots of cookies ... too many cookies! We like the simple pb ones that are 1c sugar, 1c pb, 1 egg (plus add dark chocolate chips if available). Also some standard m&amp;m to use up some Christmas candy I had. I asked dh to make box brownies for my bday and I’m making him a chocolate cake for his (I usually make a chocolate sour cream frosting but might rethink since kid 3 is allergic to milk and will care about having some this year!). </p> <p>I tried a copycat starbucks pumpkin bread that was so-so, used up bananas in a standard banana bread and made a lemon yogurt bread which is always delicious. Can’t find the exact link but this is similar. <a href="https://www.melskitchencafe.com/lemon-yogurt-bread/" rel="nofollow">https://www.melskitchencafe.com/lemon-yogurt-bread/</a></p> <p>The baking has not been good for our waistlines but it is so fun to make things. I was just reading that the flour shortages are real (although there’s plenty of wheat) because people really are just baking a ton vs hoarding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quarantine-baking#post-2914870 Sat, 02 May 2020 15:12:49 +0000 erinbaderin 2914870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are you making? Share pictures and recipes!</p> <p>I’ve been making various breads - a yummy Dutch-oven crusty loaf that we basically eat in one sitting, and a sandwich-type bread that’s pretty good. And today I made bagels from this recipe: <a href="https://thewoksoflife.com/montreal-bagels/" rel="nofollow">https://thewoksoflife.com/montreal-bagels/</a></p> <p>[attach=6329/20/q9q05d.450x600.1CB5AD50-1193-441F-8042-8D7B01FBC364.jpeg]</p> <p>The first weekend I made my first layer cake, and it was good, but then I stress-are a whole cake over the next week, so I’m trying to stay away from too much sweet stuff. </p>
