Apple Pie

I only did this recipe partially. I got angry and I didn't do it. I only peeled the apples and started the crust. I didn't do anything else. I don't even have pictures.

Streusel Coffee Cake: Evaluation

This recipe wasn't really hard to make. The most difficult part was probably putting the whole thing in one pan. It was a little messy mixing it as well. I would ask my Mom for advice next time. I messed on the size of the pan and put a doubled recipe in a pan for the single recipe. This made for a not very good bottom. It was too thick. My family said as much.

Streusel Coffee Cake: Preparation

We are embarking on a new path this time. We are stopping bread and doing this recipe. Since I wanted more of this, I doubled the recipe. Here is the recipe that I will use.

Cinnamon Streusel
2/3 cup Bisquick
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter

Coffee Cake
4 cups Bisquick
1 1/3 cup milk or water
4 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs

Mix the streusel in a medium-ish bowl. Mix the coffee cake in large bowl. If you are using the doubled recipe, use a 9 by 13 inch pan. If not, use a 9 inch round pan. Put the cake in the pan and sprinkle with streusel. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a knife can be poked in and withdrawn without anything wet on it. Cool and eat.

Free Choice Bread: Evaluation

The bread was delicious. It tasted amazing. We haven't had real banana bread for a long time because my brother kept eating the bananas. This recipe was pretty easy to do. The only problem was following the right instructions, as there were many banana bread recipes on the same page.

Free Choice Bread: Preparation

The next three posts will be devoted to a bread that is of my own choice. I have chosen to make Banana Bread. These is the recipe.

1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 bananas (the browner the bananas are without being rotten, the better)
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups of flour

All of the ingredients can be found at a Wal*Mart. Try to use older bananas.

1/2 White 1/2 Wheat Bread in Machine: Evaluation

This recipe was not hard to make. The wheat flour was a little loose, but it was not hard to make this bread. The most challenging part was deciding if the dough was wet or dry. I really liked the bread. It was a little too heavy to eat plain, so I had butter on mine. My family said it tasted good.

White Bread with 1/4 Flour Replacement in Machine: Evaluation

This bread was slightly heavier than the previous ones. It tasted pretty much the same. The bread rose magnificently. It was almost pushing the top of the machine off. I guess that;s because the wheat flour must have some natural sugar for the yeast to eat. The family said that it tasted fine. I liked it as well.

1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour

Cooking Assignment

While reading the assigned pages, I didn't really find anything interesting other than you should add wheat gluten when baking with all-purpose flour.

Basic White Bread by Hand – Evaluation

This recipe was not hard to make. I just didn't like to knead the dough by hand. The most challenging part was probably baking the bread so that it didn't burn. The bread tasted really good with butter. I think that I could do the work more evenly.
