The **Now Eating** Thread

[Itchytrigg]

I fell like @JonRGV250 needs a bread thread to share some of these creations cause they always look good.

I should make bread more often…did a fair bit during lockdown times then got out of the habit. Though will be making some pizza dough later ready for the weekend

Tried a microwaved poached egg.

No, I sieve over flour just before they go in the oven.

Just to add, I always lob a few ice cubes in the bottom of the oven when baking.

Excuse my ignorance but what's the ice for

Keeps a level of humidity in the oven for a more moist loaf i think?

Bacon and mushroom omlette, got some homemade mayo and homemade hot sauce on there too.

This.
It keeps a crust from forming too soon.

Thanks for the response. Makes sense when it's explained

Why the ice tho? Wouldn't water produce more steam?

Possibly, but it’s the way I’ve always done it, and I only want steam for a short while.
I started doing it because my loaves kept splitting.
A crust formed too quickly whilst the dough underneath was still rising and whilst it looked kinda trendy it was a pain to slice.

Just some chicken and herb pasta to get us through till dinner time

Ended up shopping for longer than expect and bought more meat, which had to be chopped up and sorted out, so the Korean beef turned into a quick pressure cook and Speedi for rice and veg, with beef dipped in flour, corn starch, Kashmiri chilli's and gochujang and shallow fried for a crispy beef.

There are sausages hiding under the bacon & onion honest! On some homemade rolls.

Random (hotel grub put on during a meeting) lunch:

Sweet ans sour chicken, tuna sweetcorn and mayo bun and cheese and pickle bun !

Sweet things and fruit

Got home and the Mrs had made Teriyaki salmon and rice .....

 

[gingergundog]

Moroccan chicken with Couscous, simple but full of flavour and some nice veg.

Family get together tomorrow, so as usual I'm tasked with bringing bread.
Tear 'n' share on the left is milk, egg, sugar & lots of butter, and when I say lots of butter, I mean 100g+ in the dough and a glaze before, during and after baking with melted butter.
It's a heart attack on a plate, but worth it (if one survives)
Rolls are egg, milk and olive oil with a slight crust..

Late post but my Pizza from this evening.

Dominos BBQ Base + Extra Cheese.



It was actually a good one, nice and thin with little to no grease.

 

[robfosters]

The slice was minced beef and onion

 

[sigma]

Tried a microwaved poached egg.

Could definitely pass as chicken fillet (with marmalade) on toast @robfosters

 

[godinman]

Still struggling a bit with those wholeground flour fo some reason, came out okay but should've been a bit taller I think!
