No I laminate and let them sit in the fridge overnight and roll them and shape them the next morning. This batch I mixed the dough on Friday, laminated on Saturday and baked on Sunday. I like to bake in the morning but I have done it all in one day.

Usual rye bake

50/50 whole rye and unbleached white all purpose.

Two 1 lb chunks from a 6 lb loaf. I cut the large loaf into 1 lb pieces and keep one on the counter in a ziplock and the remaining pieces are in the freezer. Using this method I bake approx once per month.

Made some French bread to go with my smoked beef dino ribs:



The Snake River Farms dino ribs were OUTRAGEOUS---the most ridiculous bite in all of BBQ. I can't think of a more decadent thing you can eat. (Posting more BBQ pix in the BBQ thread.)

Pasta sauce.



1. Starting with my frozen tomatoes, zucchinis and garlic in olive oil mix from last Summer's harvest.

2. Added olives, mushrooms, carrots, celery and onions.

3. Italian seasoning blend, red pepper flakes and peppercorn.

4. Added the frozen Italian meat balls and tomato paste.

Slow convect for eight hours at 165°. The house smells delicious.

I love making sourdough chocolate chip cookies dusted with sea salt. I’m in my sourdough era. Made these for the flight crew after the airshow.

Made another raisin cinnamon bread. It doesn't last long. I take half of it to the clinic. Gone in 60 seconds.

Gratin pommes de terre et choux fleur

This falls under the “and more” category in the thread title.

Potatoes, cauliflower, caramelized onions, bechamel, parmesan and Gruyere. One of my faves!

Gateau Russe
Recipe from Bruno Albouze

Three layers of daqcquoise (almond biscuit) filled with hazelnut buttercream. One of my favorite pastries to make, and to eat.

The hazelnut buttercream is off the charts with flavor, and the daqcuoise has a nice almond flavor and texture.

I have posted this on this site before. The build is pretty intensive:

12 separated eggs
2 batches whipped egg whites
2 batches cooked sugar
baking a thin, easily burned and difficult to handle pastry
assembly
freeze overnight
demold
cut into portions

I left out a bunch of steps! After assembly and when I put it into the freezer, it slid off the freezer shelf and almost splatted on the floor, but I was able to catch it!
