    Rhodes Frozen Bread Loaf Dough recipe?

    It's a good one for sure . Looks great Brian . I have that Rhodes in the oven . Smells pretty good . I'm hoping that 2 1/2 tsp of salt is to even out the sugar . I normally use 1 1/4 tsp per 500 grams flour . Also , that 400 degree temp is for doing rolls . If you do this and make it as a...

    Rhodes Frozen Bread Loaf Dough recipe?

    Just pulled these out of the oven . Single batch of " My sourdough " split and baked off . Same dough , same treatment . Just split in two before a final rise . Left one was done in my 4 qt. D.O. Right one was done in my bread oven . Ice cubes added to both , then lidded up . Better spring...

    Pulled Ham question

    Could be because the muscle strands are shorter in the shank portion , than in the butt portion . Also a reason why smoked picnics are chopped for BBQ pork sandwich .

    I had to buy this. Hot honey bacon.

    Never had the Hot Honey , but Wrights is good stuff . I bought some triple smoked cherry . It was great . When they say " Real wood smoked " they mean it . Might need to do that in the oven .

    Rhodes Frozen Bread Loaf Dough recipe?

    Not the easiest thing to do . Comes down to the flour , water , and the weather that day . The instant yeast will shorten the time some , but don't rush it . It takes what it takes . Instant yeast can be mixed in with the dry , active dry should be proofed first . I proof both , but the instant...

    Rhodes Frozen Bread Loaf Dough recipe?

    Rhodes isn't a milk bread . It's a heavily yeasted bread . That's probably what you like about it . There's bread that uses milk , and Japanese milk bread that starts with milk and flour cooked into a rue . I'm no bread expert , but I've made both milk varieties . Japanese milk bread is...

    Pulled Ham question

    My opinion . You're dealing mostly with the same texture / muscle structure . Butt portion is the upper half ( towards the butt ) of the lower half of the front leg . I always called it " Sirloin " . The shank portion is the bottom of the lower half of the front leg . Butt is at the very top...

    Buyer Beware?

    The stuff like you bought in the chubs , comes from a packing plant . Way more sterile / controlled than grinding in store . Nothing wrong with either way , but the chubs are " watched " more . I've actually been buying it in 10 pound chubs from GFS , because all the good stuff to grind is too...

    Buyer Beware?

    Probably doesn't after it's in the tube . I'm not against your comments , I completely respect you . I was just joining in because I enjoy your threads . Sam makes the valid point that there has to be a margin for error , and they almost have to weigh on the low side , because they deal with...
