I’ve done that with Guinness. Great with a sharp cheese.

No pics, but I can attest to the success of using the dayold Pullman loaf as French toast.
Made that for the missez for lunch. She loved it.
This recipe, cept I add 2 tbls 18% cream to the mix as well.



Cooked it up in the big lodge pan, and the carmelization was just perfect.
Maple syrop on the side, a good use of day old bread.

If you want to experiment the sky is the limit for replacements and substitutions. With bread just about anything will work as long as it doesn't kill the yeast. The same is true for delayed fermentation and amounts of yeast used and the oven temperature and baking times. Also using covered bakers and allowing to "cool" in the hot oven with door ajar

I'm in a high altitude area so also ads to the equation.

Bunch of loaves for the next few days.
Starter is super gassy, must know it’s spring.

Poppy seed covered.

Everything bagel topping on the round loaves. Onion bits char up a little quick, but still very flavorful.

The kids and I made some Scottish morning rolls today.

Nothing ever comes out even when they 'help', but they do come out tasty. I had one with some tuna, was grand, the others will get burgers added tonight, maybe some for breakfast in the morn.

Mike those look grand! I bet it was really appreciated.

I don't know if the 'Everything Bagel Topping' is the same but here's my recipe for making it at home. Does it look familiar? Just wondering

Everything Bagel Seasoning
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
2 teaspoons flaked sea salt or coarse sale
In a small bowl, combine the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. Stir until well combined. Store in a sealed jar or container

That looks pretty much zactly the same Roy.
Adds a nice zing to the crust.

Oh, it's easier to buy the topping at Costco.

How long has it sat on the shelf and do you need to buy 15 pounds?
