Baking Day

Friday was baking day at our house. When we have baking day, I make up a triple batch of gluten free bread dough, and make it into rolls, bread sticks, loaves, and sometimes other special treats, most of which get put in the freezer to be pulled out and baked later.

I thought I would show a series of pictures, showing some of the different steps in my baking day.

Here are the bowls of  wet ingredients, yeast mixture, and dry ingredients.

  After everything was mixed together well. I dusted the counter well with tapioca starch, and dumped the dough onto it. Then I kneaded  it several times.

After kneading the dough, I divided it into three sections, as it was a triple batch. Each batch makes two loaves of bread, two pans of rolls, or two pans of bread sticks.

Of course, if I want to make a bigger batch of any of these, I use more dough.

I made a special treat, using my dough press, I patted the dough out flat (I would have used a rolling pin, except that I couldn't find it) and used the bottom of the press to cut out circles. Then I laid the dough on the top pf the press, put a peach slice in it, and folded it over. 

I then put them on a greased pan, and sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar. They were a great hit.

While the peach pockets were baking, I washed the dishes (our dishwasher isn't working).

This baking day produced two pans of rolls, one loaf of bread, one large pan of apple butter filled rolls (made with two loaves worth of dough, and not pictured) and one pan of peach pockets.
