Was fussing around with making some Cuban bread. Made the slurry yesterday...yeast and sugar and flour...let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours or so, then used it in the finished recipe. 4-5 cups of flour, 2 additional packets of yeast, two tablespoons of sugar, and a teaspoon of salt. Add ebnough water to make a flexible but not sticky dough. But instead of lard I used 4 tablespoons of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter just to see what would happen and this stuff is damned good. Punch down the rise after an hour or so then split into 4 sections. Roll each into a 14 or 15 inch long tube and cover with a moistened cotton cloth for another hour or so. Bake at 350 for approximately 35 minutes and this is one fine finished bread. LOTS tastier than using straight lard as the shortening.
Taking up knitting next. Then maybe get some new drapes. Testosterone level is still high so I guess I'm not going homo.
Better check to be sure? Okay, brb.
Nah. Looked at a picture of Kerry and still wanted to strangle the traitorous bastard.
