I’m a Baker!

With COVID over the last 2+years I imagine most of us have been watching more video that ever before and we’re no exception. We’ve added some new (to us) streaming services like PBS and become quite a fan of Masterpiece Theatre productions. Additionally, we’re watching lots of cooking show. Recently, we came across Cook’s Country which showcases great recipes, along with techniques, food history and kitchen product reviews.

I skipped over the sour dough craze, but I did think about it and then one night we’re watching a show and one of the recipes is a Prosciutto Bread with Provolone which catches my attention. The next day I’m investigating their web site and decide to sign up and get more involved in cooking and baking with some new inspirations. So, a little shopping and I’m making my first bread product project.

Dough in the Mixer

Our Kitchen Aid mixer makes a comeback after a fair bit of idling in the basement storage area and a 1st use of the dough hook. Works great!

All mixed up & rising

After 90 minutes of allowing the dough to rest and rise it’s shaped into two 12″ sub shaped loaves and left to rest and rise for another 45 minutes. Then into the oven for 25 minutes and voilà!

A success! A very tasty and hearty treat.
