Half Baked Bread

[Ben]

Why did I not know about this before? I recently saw it at Trader Blows and also at the local supermarket. I really like it. After 10min in the toaster oven, it's nearly as good as fresh baked bread.

We get it now to make pizza bread.

Another sign of growing old: you delight on the concept of par-baked bread.

Love par-baked bread.  TJ's has some yummy Naan as well.

Hey Ben, the next time you are at TJ's, pick up this to put on your par-baked bread.

Thanks Andy! Another thing I didn't know TJ's has. I've been getting German butter a few times of year for the folks from Igourmet (also grass fed) and everyone loves it. I'm gonna give this stuff a try - it sounds like it's the same, but likely not as outrageously expensive.

Ben you are welcome.  If you want to get into fresh baked bread without that much hassle let me know.  Par-baked is good and you can even par-bake this bread.

Do tell. The consensus appears to be that I have time on my hands. 

Like cornbread, which I only recently figured out, I've not yet been able to bake what I would give the thumbs up on as a decent loaf of bread.

I will PM you a link.

Don't lead the old guy to more salt, that's the last thing (maybe not the last but close) he needs, more salt.

It can't be any worse than the cigars and whiskey (and hookers and blow).

I've been known to partake of the parbake a time or two. It's handy and convenient.

I also make quite a lot of my own bread using the wet dough/no knead/dutch oven method. Comes out lovely. About three minutes of mixing is the hardest part about it, just takes some forethought for the rise.

You can parbake pies too... I know this because my grandmother had a chest freezer full of frozen pies when she died.

If you're interested in learning how to bake bread, this book is the best way I've found it's been redone to work with bread machines so the older printing might be better if you're not using one.



If not you can get unbaked frozen loaves of bread. next to the frozen breakfast stuff, bag of 5 loaves or so. You do have to plan ahead more though.

The "rise and bake" yeast rolls in most markets' frozen foods section usually come out pretty well... unless you do like my ex wife and try to force-proof them in a 200 deg oven.

Everything we've been told about salt is wrong.

The people or the butter?  Never fed butter grass or anything else, myself.
