well i have been on a bread making mission. i got the book "The bread bakers apprentice" by peter reinhart for my birthday last month. i was a little busy at christmas time and did not bake any bread. well last week i decided to make Homemade English Muffins . since then i have tried to make more bread. i am getting better at it but not quite to the level some of you are. but i am working on it..

first made some chibata bread

the inside turned out to look really good

i decided to steal 12 steps idea that he made at the eggtoberfest after party. and make grilled cheese

DSC_0013.jpg
but i used smoked swiss cheese. it was really good we made potato soup to go with it since it has been so damn cold :angry:

when i got home from charleston on friday i decided to start practicing for the super bowl. and since i had no idea what i wanted to have for the super bowl i had to come up with a idea pretty soon. so since i like sandwitches i figured i would make pepper beef or meatball sandwitches. so i had to work on my hoagie making skills. so since most of the bread in that book takes two days i started on the hoagie roll recepie friday night. woke up saturday and it is time to go to work on the hoagies

after the rise. since there would be too much work to do them all on the egg i did them in the oven. and they turned out very well if i do say so myself.

and they made one helluva meatball sub

DSC_0023.jpg

and yes i cheated on the meatballs and sauce they were frozen meatballs (i will proabably make my own on the egg for the super bowl, but like i said this was PRACTICE)and the sauce was from a jar but i did carmelize some onions kinda like what i do on a weeknight for spaghetti. yes i am lazy but my family likes my cooking so if you don't like it you know what to kiss :kiss:

have a great sunday watching football i have no idea what to cook for today :pinch:

happy eggin

    Great lookin' bread. Reinhart/BBA will never steer you wrong. That ciabatta recipe makes nice rolls, too; just use a light touch when dividing the dough into smaller pieces. I'm a fan of the white-bread-variation #2 recipe; it makes excellent soft burger or hot dog rolls.

    You are absolutely nailing the bread! And those English muffins from the other week were inspirational. Did you use the polish or the biga version for the Ciabatta? What dough recipe did you use for the pistolet?
