I did Kenjis In N Out burger recipe today. Unreal good. I should have made the patties bigger and the pickles smaller, but it tasted amazing.

I guess this is the bread thread now, too? Baguettes de campagne:



Totally not a staged photo at all! This is exactly how normal people eat and store bread!


170% pate fermentee
80% bread flour
10% whole wheat flour
10% whole grain rye flour
68% hydration

zik: i want to know more about that butter!
country of origin?
salted or not salted?
refrigerated or room temp when spread on the bread?

oh, and your percentages add up to 338%. is their a conversion factor i'm missing or is your kitchen in a tropical rain forest?

The butter was USA#1 store brand, unsalted, kinda old, and a bit funky. I should probably start buying salted butter if I'm going to keep it around that long. I took it out of the fridge a couple hours prior for maximum smear effect.

It adds up to 338% because my bread is just that awesome.

if you're going to put 338% effort in to your bread, shouldn't you put at least the same amount of effort in to your butter?

From the prepared ban-chan aisle I usually get the dried marinated squid strips in chili sauce and the fried anchovies and sometimes the seaweed salad.

BTC,

As you are new I thought I'd let you know there is a bread making thread. Personally I don't care where you post your bread but another active cooking thread would be nice.

Foil keeps the fridge flavor out of butter the best. My go to standard butter is kerrygold, which I typically keep in the original foil wrapper then placed in another small tupperware.

Yes.

Know a few people involved in Portlandia. Good people but I never liked the show. Jokes just go on way too long. But a lot is pretty dead on.

Many people blame the show for rocketing real estate prices.

When we had the bar we never froze any, they sold so fast. But I did throw one order in the freezer, pre parboil, to see how they react. Will try cooking them next week.

+2 maybe the bar didn’t work but you could be an online pierogi making success story.

KJS either needs a whole thread to ask questions about living in Portland, moving from rust belt and running a bar, or I need a link.

Some of the bits are slow and annoying but overall, I get several laughs per show

Have you ever been to Feast Portland? I've been wanting to go check it out but don't know if its worth the effort when there are so many great places to see in that area

Every time I go to france I buy 4kg of this butter and freeze it at home:

Actual sea salt crystals in butter is life changing

ETA: those pierogi look amazing.

I think they sell that butter at costco, or WF. It's not necessary to go to France to buy it. imo.

Those pirogi's had me craving something old school with potato. Baked a no dough knish (Bronx style) for lunch with 1 potato, 1 egg, and a little chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, whole wheat flour.
