DONNA MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny! I’ve been making sourdough bread for about 10 years but I love your no knead bread, so I decided to see if I could blend them somehow.  I made your recipe but I used 3/4 cup ripe sourdough starter instead of yeast, and only used 1.25 cups of cool water.  I let it sit for 12 hours because sourdough gets more tang the longer it sits.  It rose great, I baked in my ceramic baker, and it turned out beautifully, and the taste is awesome! Thanks for your great recipe!  I will still use the original, but it’s always fun to experiment! ~ Donna Czech.”

The breads have been fun and easy; I have my second loaf in the oven now. I used a razor blade to cut a simple design on the top. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Our challenge here in CA is finding yeast and flour. Who knew those would be hot commodities during quarantine time. Glad I found you! Will be moving on to entrees next week as we are getting tired of my usual repertoire. ~ Vicki Rasmussen, San Jose, CA – Coordinator, Flowers of Comfort.”

TINA (from Texas) MADE MY CHOCOLATE CAKE

“Hello Jenny! My husband and I are both physicians.  He is on the front lines daily in the hospital while I’m seeing my patients via telemedicine. The one main lesson that this COVID19 crisis has taught me is that teachers are WAY underpaid! They all should be paid at least 10 times more for tolerating…I mean teaching our kids.  I’ve been trying to juggle seeing my patients, oversee distance learning for my kids, and manage my household chores – my escape has been trying your recipes in my kitchen (which is my happy place).  I have made so many and they all turn out so well!  I’m baking my way through this darn pandemic!

Anyhow, I decided to surprise my newly pregnant baby sister and her husband on her 33rd birthday with a “fancy” decorated version of your chocolate cake with your 2 minute frosting.This made her so happy on her birthday!!!  I just topped the cake with a few homemade chocolate covered strawberries and drizzled dark and white chocolate sculptures (I’m not sure what to call them).  Look how beautiful it came out!  I just love you and your recipes!!!  Thank you for being you and for sharing your love of healthier cooking with us! Hugs from Texas, – Tina Dieber.”

DAVID (from Canada) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny. Made your quick no- knead bread & it turned out great. The only thing was the bottom crust was a little hard to slice through. Maybe when I remove the lid to brown the top i should reduce temp a little. Thanks, David D ~ from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.”

~ Reducing the temperature  when the lid comes off is a good idea or you could also try removing the loaf from the pan after 30 minutes and placing it directly on the oven rack but put the parchment paper,  folded over for more thickness, under it. Good luck! – jenny (also from Ontario, Canada ??)Easy Dutch Oven Bread

BARB (from Canada) MADE MY SIMPLE WHITE BREAD

“Hi Jenny. As promised, I made your Paczki and your custard. I couldn’t find my biscuit cutters so used an egg ring instead, hence the reduced numbers and increased size. I also used plum jam through the side and custard through the top (until my piping bag burst) Our bubble loved them. For my next effort, I think I will have a go at the Pan Pizza along with your pizza dance! Many thanks for sharing your recipes. ~ Erin, New Zealand.”

STRAIG (from Scotland) MADE MY SIMPLE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

“Lovely Tasty bread, I doubled the recipe and substituted the water for whey left over from my homemade yoghurt, and by the time I realised I’d forgotten to add the honey the loaf was in the oven, surprisingly it still worked out really well and tastes great. I’ll definitely be making it again ??”

TERRI (from Nevada) MADE MY FASTER NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny! I finally got the courage to make your No Knead Faster Bread! I had a ball watching you and your excitement was contagious!  I did everything right but the top got a little too brown! I have just moved to 5200 elevation near Lake Tahoe and I read all the comments of all the fellow bakers saying they didn’t have to make accomadations for higher elevations but I think next time I will cook at the end uncovered for about 8 minutes. This loaf was checked at 10 minutes and it obviously doesn’t need that long where I live. Maybe this will help other bakers who live at higher elevations! Love you, love your YT channel and love your generosity in teaching us all how to cook.”

~ Thank you for sharing your high elevation tips and for the great photos.  – jennyJCC Dutch Oven BreadNo Knead Bread recipe

My Lemon Brownies – Gluten Free!

Gluten Free Lemon BrowniesGood news for gluten free cooks! I was finally able to get the flour some people have mentioned in their comments and I tried it out with my lemon brownies. They turned out great – I saw no difference in taste or texture. This recipe is exactly the same as my regular lemon brownies only with swapping the regular flour for Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour. (This is not a paid endorsement, just a way to share a good recipe that’s gluten free.)

I have only made this recipe with this particular flour and can’t say how it will work with other gluten free flours so it you try it with a different brand of gluten-free flour please comment here on your results. I’m really happy to be able to share this very easy and very popular recipe for lemon brownies (some people call them “yellowies” ?) for everyone who has asked for more gluten-free baking. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

ERIN (from New Zealand) MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS

“Hi Jenny. I am from New Zealand and like many of your subscribers, have found your website when looking for a recipe, in my case, for Cinnamon Swirls (as we call them!) Well, I have watched your video a number of times and still find it refreshingly fun! The story behind my picture is that when you have two six foot plus “rodents” in your Covid-19 bubble, you should hide your fresh baked cinnamon swirls J I must confess I sneaked a piece too! J Anyway, They tasted so delicious that I will make more and I also want to try your Paczki both with your custard and with Jam. Incidentally, I did add some Passionfruit Essence to the frosting on the Cinnamon Swirls which gave the taste a bit of zest!

If I may be cheeky, I have a mission that you or your subscribers may be able to help me with! When I was at High School all those many decades ago, we had a local bakery shop that sold these delicious Cream & Jelly Pies. Alas, that cake shop is no more and for the life of me, I cannot find that recipe on the internet. The pie itself comprise a sweet short crust pastry, filled with sponge cake and with Raspberry jelly/jam & whipped cream and sprinkled with icing sugar. It was in the standard oval pie form that our meat pies take. The shop was the “Greenmeadows Cake Shop” in Napier,  NZ. Many thanks and I apologise for my cheeky request. Kind Regards, Erin McBride, Mr., Retired.”

~ If anyone can help Erin in his search for the recipe for the Cream & Jelly Pies described above from the Greenmeadows Cake Shop in Napier, NZ please share your information in the comments section just below Barb’s bread photo. – jenny ??Easy Cinnamon Buns
