Then later we see the bread in the pot/pan. I'm confused. I think that pot/pan is probably more like 2 or 2.5 quarts. Also, I don't think 3 cups of flour would result in 5 quarts of bread. Is it safe to assume the 3 cups of flour is correct but I should use a 2.5 quart pot/pan? Or maybe it doesn't matter what size pot I use? Sorry to be so picky, but as the expression goes....I'm just saying :) <br /> Thank you all so much for your wonderful recipes and commentary. <br /> Looking forward to the new book!<br /> - reader from down southAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-65939874382410247302009-11-22T17:11:49.231-08:002009-11-22T17:11:49.231-08:00Two answers....

I followed the directions like a good little home economist when I first came across it three years ago, then sent it along to Lovella, who as usual, improved it. Susan: she figured out a way to make it work with whole wheat (add gluten)<br /><br />So fun to see it being made by you with your changes too. <br /><br />My latest "change it up" is to take the dough, pull off a bit and flatten it as much as possible, (rolling pin on floured surface) to a quarter inch thick, and then cut into three inch squares which are dropped it in hot oil. <br /><br />The dough puffs up like Indian Fry Bread..and cooks in minutes. (I'm always needing hot bread in seconds to go with a last minute meal!)<br /><br />I either dust the finished product with garlic salt, or powder sugar (which makes it a dead ringer for New Orleans Beignettes)<br /><br /><br />It ain't bad dropped raw into chili or stew either, to cook up as a dumpling.<br /><br />Confession: my supermarket now sells the dough in a plastic bag for $1.50, fresh and ready to go, and the dough hangs around my refrigerator all week, being used for this and that as inspiration strikes! The "last frontier" is a go with the trusty old waffle iron!Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-91841095840755206392009-11-05T09:44:25.361-08:002009-11-05T09:44:25.361-08:00This bread looks lovely and just like the kind of ...This bread looks lovely and just like the kind of bread recipe I have been looking for.
