I much prefer it. I just got a good toaster oven though which doesn't heat things up as much. I'm hoping to bake more in the summer with it.<br /><br />Thomas, I don't mind the simple as long as it is good. Fancy is fun too but I tend to do more fancy things in the fall and winter when heating up the house isn't an issue. I save heating up the house for canning in the summer. <br /><br />elizabeth, I cook it on medium high - high (high if I don't preheat). My range has numbers 1-6. 6 is if I don't preheat and am only doing one. 4 is about what I do for longer times. It is a new stove and I hate it. I'm slowly getting used to it but I wish I had my old Jenn-Air. <br />Yes. 1 Tablespoon of salt. I like a salty bread. I use sea salt too. You can reduce the amount but I wouldn't go below 1 teaspoon as salt helps control the growth of the yeast. You can do it but you have to watch it closer.<br /><br />Stefaneener, Well except for the feta I'm with you. I've never been a feta fan. I go for most of the other cheeses though.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-51192019973092940492010-07-29T11:58:22.884-04:002010-07-29T11:58:22.884-04:00I've got my pan bread dough ready to go for lu...I've got my pan bread dough ready to go for lunch time. Can't wait! Sadly, I don't have tomatoes and cucumbers in my garden here in Montana. Will have to settle for salad with roasted beets and herbs. <br /><br />Is it 1 Tablespoon salt you add to the dough? Kosher or fine grain? I used sea salt, but reduced it to around 2 teaspoons, as I thought 1 T might be to salty for me.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615887438960518295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-45657971038477580212010-07-29T11:34:15.318-04:002010-07-29T11:34:15.318-04:00We're eating like that!

Probably not nice enough to make me wish I'd dried more, but a good thing to know.<br /><br />Nothing quite like cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, oil and salt and pepper. Maybe a little vinegar. I was thinking yesterday, "If we only had an olive grove and a grain field, I'd be set!"Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-7174565729689688032010-07-29T11:15:09.972-04:002010-07-29T11:15:09.972-04:00Thank you Daphne!

What a great alternative to baking on hot summer days. Thank you.<br /><br />I'll have to pass on the zucchini, though. The one crop which grows in such abundance anyone can grow it failed for me. (Some kind of pest got it.)<br /><br />But I'm not complaining! I've got tomatoes and jalapenos and green beans and green peppers which are forming and herbs from here half-way to China. The fall peas are in and second planting of beets as well.

A lot of my zucchini every year just goes into zucchini bread. It seems boring but I love it so much.<br /><br />Ribbit, thanks! Now I should be able to find it forever. I always hate when I see a recipe and want to try it but then can't find it anymore.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, See now you are smarter than I am. You copy the recipes down. I always think I'll remember, but really I know myself. I won't remember a thing about anything. <br /><br />foodgardenkitchen, thanks<br /><br />thyme2garden, I know what you mean. This one has so much cheese too. I left out the buttery top, but I think I added even more cheese than they called for. Its filled with tomatoes and zucchini so must be good for me anyway. Right?<br /><br />elizabeth, sure it is really simple. I don't even really knead it and eat from the same dough all week long. <br /><br />2c warm water<br />1 packet of yeast<br />dissolve yeast in water<br />2c white flour<br />2c whole wheat flour<br />1 T salt<br />Mix flours and salt together than add the water yeast mixture. Toss on the table and knead until uniform (usually about a minute). Put back in bowl and cover. Let rise for about 2 hours then put it in the fridge. This keeps in the fridge for about two weeks. I just pull off parts of the dough whenever I want to make pan bread. Take a bit of dough and flatten into a disk about a quarter inch thick. I brush it lightly with olive oil on both sides and cook on a cast iron skillet on both sides. Turn when one side gets lightly browned. I used to grill the bread when I had a Jenn-Air stove. I miss my old stove, but pan bread is a good second. Either way it means fresh hot bread in about five minutes as long as the dough is in the fridge. You can use it as pizza dough too.<br /><br />meemsnyc, thanksDaphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-16097205410497272602010-07-29T00:47:34.740-04:002010-07-29T00:47:34.740-04:00Oooh, that casserole looks scrumptious.Oooh, that casserole looks scrumptious.meemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-71621980515432666042010-07-28T22:54:51.918-04:002010-07-28T22:54:51.918-04:00I like your lunch time.
