Hey SGM, I got bored over winter break and I let my inner baker out. Thus I've been making mainly breads and today I'm branching out into a desert. Today, I'm making sopapillas, it's kinda like a doughnut, you usually put something like powdered sugar and honey on it, you can also put chocolate and more! Spoiler: Recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/23047/real-sopapillas/ I used lard instead of shortening. Spoiler: Progress Spoiler: Progress 2 Spoiler: About 70 sopapillas FRYYY TIMEEEEE I'll edit the progress in and any tips I find out during the process! Also feel free to make some requests of pastries and more, just know my sweet tooth is super active rn!
Yoyoyo, for the sopapillas, cut that recipe in like half or maybe even fourths, cause it makes an absolute shit ton Spoiler: A shit ton (2 liter soda bottle for size comparison)
Well, I got bored again last night and I looked up some recipes and I stumbled upon English muffins. I did half the recipe as it was huge.

Hey all, today I made rosemary bread, its kinda like the restraunt bread you get. Here's the recipe! Spoiler: Recipe https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/rosemary-olive-oil-bread Here's a picture of the outcome! (Only 1 loaf cause we ate one.) Spoiler: Outcome A tip is use parchment paper instead of butter just straight on the pan when cooking the bread it will help stop it from burning on the bottom. I also reccomend looking at the bread every five minutes to make sure it doesn't burn at all. Sorry for posting late kinda forgot about taking photos and etc.
How long have you been actually cooking? I cook a lot, and I just mix stuff together "anyone can cook style" Maybe you should try it..... For instance I wanted breakfast. So I got some meat thinking I was gonna make a burrito, and I got some American Cheese, then cooked the raw beef, then got one egg, mixed it with milk, and scrambled it. Put the meat on the burrito bread, then cheese and melted it, put egg on the cheese and topped it with another slice of cheese. I put Worcestershire sauce in the egg and the meat. Then it came to the part where you are supposed to roll up the burrito, but I couldn't because it was too fat. So I got creative and folded it in a way that made it look like a pot pie. So I present to you a breakfast pot pie. Spoiler: egg hamburger cheese and any kind of flatbread really
I've been helping cook/cooking since I can remember, I just decided since I started baking a ton why not make a thread, eventually I will probably make this a culinary thread, I've just been focusing on baking. Tomorrow I'll see what my family is planning to make and I'll do the post on that
I'm curious to see if you have any family recipes that you just know from your head. I've got several. Of course all of the food I know how to make is weird old style southern meals. Good luck!
Of course! Some are pretty simple, the rest involve a lot of eyeballing certain amounts of spices and such to taste, and they are all make large amounts cause I am child in a 7 person family. I can start simple and get more and more complicated or jump all around, we will have some fun!
