Yes @Missk_2022 I add currants but I also half the mixed nuts and top up with pecan pieces.....it is easy and soooo goooood.Yes! I add a cup of a nut/seed mixture I make. Lately, I've been adding a cup of craisins as well. I got the idea from @Greylag; he adds currants to his. Currants are hard to get stateside.
Here's my bread recipe:
2 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup nut/seed mixture
1 tsp yeast
2 tsp salt
2.5 cups water
Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add water and mix well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave for 12-18 hours. (I've left mine for >24 hours)
When ready to bake, place covered pot in cold oven. (I use a cast iron Dutch oven but you can use any kind of oven-safe covered pot or dish.) Preheat oven to 450°.
Prepare a sheet of parchment paper with a bit of scattered cornmeal or flour. (I use cornmeal; I like the crunch it gives to the bottom crust.)
While oven is preheating, scatter a bit of flour around the dough in the bowl. I use a spatula to scrape the dough out of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto the parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel.
When oven is preheated, carefully remove the pot. Lift the lid and place the sheet of parchment paper into the hot pot. Be sure to remove any plastic wrap first! Cover the pot and place into hot oven. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes.
After the first 20 minutes is up, remove the lid from the pot and lower the temperature of the oven to 375°. Bake for another 20 minutes.
At the end of the bake time, carefully remove the hot pot from the oven. Grasp the parchment paper and remove the loaf. It should sound hollow when thumped on the bottom. Let sit on a rack or trivet for 10-15 minutes before slicing into it.
You can put anything you like in your nut/seed mixture. I go to a store that has a great bulk bin selection. In mine I have:
Almonds
Pistachios
Millet
Sesame seeds
Hemp hearts
Flax seed
Ground Flax seed
Pepitas
Chia seeds
Quinoa
Sunflower seeds
Wheat germ
I mix these in a large freezer bag. It makes it easy to just scoop out the amount I want.
Greylag substitutes currants for half the nut/seed mixture. I've made some loaves like that. It's also very good!
If you don't have a large covered pot, you can divide the dough for a smaller container. You could use foil on top of your container.
I was an arbitrator paid to listen to expert witnesses droning on then tell them I didn’t believe a word they said when handing down my Award! Lol... now I just deal with claims and complaints; well somebody has to lol!.....and it pays a few bills!what kind of work you used to do? If i may know
@Lilianna23 i can help. If it makes things smaller you are looking through the wrong end!I have my husband's telescope but I don't know how to use it.![]()
A few jalapenos is just fine. As long as it's not like Texas chili.A warning I tend to add a Texas flair with a few jalepenos
Beautiful car. I would love to own something like this. Elegant, smooth lines. Too bad the winters up here would eat something like that for breakfast.
I have lots of ideas. I bet some raisins or other dried fruit would be good.i have never eaten a current....Yes @Missk_2022 I add currants but I also half the mixed nuts and top up with pecan pieces.....it is easy and soooo goooood.
Queen!It's like that granny who was stopped by a cop and admitted to having three handguns in the car, so he asked her, "what are you so afraid of?"
Her reply: "not a goddamned thing."
That's Ethyl.

In case you didn't know, read this:
Soulfully brilliant, I think. Good imagery, too.
Was expecting some of this on my trip. Mother Nature substituted cold instead of rainy. Good thing I left my heavier jacketed home, right? BFF to the rescue with an extra hoodie to wear over my hoodie. Interesting fashion statement but I'm warm LOLWet Feet
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!!
Fuck me to tears,
I fucking hate wet feet!!!
Hate with a passion,
A capital H.
Like when it rains
And you can’t do anything about the fact
That you have to get from here to there.
Outside.
In the wet.
Downpours, puddles, splashes.
You step where it should be barely deeper than your soul is thick,
And your soul is having a Doubtful Moment.
The puddle is deep.
You have on your gym shoes.
Fabric.
Non-waterproof fabric.
Unless the water in on the inside
Which is now is,
And all in your non-waterproof socks, too.
Motherfucker!!!
Slog.
Slosh.
Squish.
Bother, as Pooh would say.
As the old saying goes,
Some days, you can’t win for losing.
Soggy armpits and ball sweat are annoying,
But I don’t walk on those.
The absolute worst:
You are out riding your bike.
Motorcycle.
Harley fucking Davidson.
And the rain arrives.
You keep going because
You’re not a pussy,
So you keep going.
And it keeps raining.
Continues.
It doesn’t relent.
Your pants get wet
Because the water is beating into your lower legs
And on the tops of your thighs.
Driven through the fabric.
Wet to your skin.
Where does all this water go?
Gravity says,
Down the fleshy bits
To the insides of
Your
Waterproof
Boots.
That’s right.
Your lovely boots are now
Acting to water
Like the Maginot Line
Acted to the Wehrmacht.
Stepping into a stream
Deeper than your hiking boots are tall
Is simply the same thing
More suddenly.
At least the motorcycle boots
Don’t squish because
You’re not walking.
May I present Ball HammocksI qm trying to think of a female equivalent of this and I got nothing...
Except underwire bras.... medeival (sp?) Torture devices...
Ok...we need to develop a new type of men's underwear with a super strength pocket or sling for men who have a low hanging undercarriage
Now there's a Sophie's Choice moment I never want to experience. Let's hope you never do eitherTruth is, and I would never tell Ethyl, if I could only have one cat . . .
it would be TDK.
And I'd sorely miss the rest of them.
I prefer my coffee plain. But the Practical side of me absolutely loves this idea.I cover the bottom of my mug with cream, then pour the coffee in. Not sure what that says about my drinking style but I get nice consistent results and don't have to use a spoon to stir.
have a Monty Python moment reading this? Or I'm at the only one who's humming along with, "every spoon is sacred..."Statistically that saves me nearly 10% of my dishwashing expenses. I live alone and don't cook much so that spoon is a large part of the soap and labor budget.![]()
Consumer here - just to balance the scales.Seems like a lot of producer are here
Amen!!Well.thank God that isn't
A decision you have to make
Why wait?I haven't put in pigs.
Yet . . . .
And we close as we opened...She kinda runs the house.
She doesn't pay any bills, however.
Greetings
Hope all are doing well.
Little downtime on vacation. Thought I'd pop in for a bit. Wow! Joint is hopping!
