What is the history of the doughnut? The doughnut has been around since the early 1800s, when a woman named Elizabeth Gregory made a deep-fried dough treat that she called "doughnuts" for her son, Hanson Gregory, who was a sea captain. Hanson is credited with inventing the hole in the middle of the doughnut. He said he did this so that the doughnuts would cook more evenly. In the late 1800s, a New England ship captain named Captain Gregory created the first recipe for doughnuts. His recipe included nutmeg and cinnamon, and the doughnuts were fried in pork fat, making them much sweeter than their modern-day counterparts. By the early 1900s, doughnuts had become popular in the United States, and they were often served at church socials and political events. During World War I, soldiers were given doughnuts as a treat. Today, doughnuts are sold in many varieties and are popular in many countries around the world.
I'm embarassed to admit it took 7 batches of trials just for cinnamon rolls lol. Don't get me wrong. Although I did some dough-related tweaks, it was designing the filling and topping that gave me headache.And look at the cute shape! I almost changed the watermark to I-just-hit-puberty. by Jay 😆 lolI love cinnamon rolls, but there are several things that I perceive as product flaws to the classic ones that I wanted to address (along with the tweaks):
For our dinner party tonight we will be seeing from friends from Fort Lauderdale Florida who we won’t see very often anymore since we sold our apartment there. So I had a busy baking weekend to ensure that they have a good meal at our place. I have made this cake once before, but having made this once, I made some improvements on it.
Are you a pro at pickling? How about baking sourdough bread or brewing your own kombucha? If the answer is yes, you’ve probably picked up on one of the recent trends promoting fermented foods, which promise to boost your gut health and save both you and the planet from the scourge of food waste.…
The only store-bought flour used in this bake was the small amount from the seed starter to make the levain. I wanted to use as close to 100% fresh-milled flour as I could. Barton Springs Mill, Butler’s Gold whole wheat berries, and Blue Hopi corn were used in this bake. The results were pretty good. The dough fermented a little too long during bulk, and there was not much oven spring or refrigerator rise either.I used my new, smaller-sized square bannetons, and I could have definitely used more dough in each basket. Next time, I will up the overall dough amount.
I was not originally planning on using my pullman pan for this bake, but with the high percentage of rye and spelt fresh-milled flour in this bake, there was no chance of getting this into anything else to bake.I used fresh milled Ryman Rye from Barton Springs Mill along with some fresh milled spelt. Both were sifted once with a #30 drum sieve and re-milled at the finest setting in my MockMill 200.I decided to do a scald, which provides added plasticity to the crust and crumb. It also tends to make the crumb softer. I used fresh-milled Ryman Rye that was not sifted.
Sometimes you just need a little treat - I have been making these for as long as I can remember. They were always something yummy to make with the left over dough from making an apple pie crust. While there are many ways to make a pie crust there is only one way to make…
