This Greek Easter, the instructions were clear: "Two tsoureki!" I complied, using the usual recipe. #breadsky www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/gree...

Two tsoureki (braided Greek Easter bread), fresh out of the oven and resting on racks. Each has a boiled egg, shell dyed red, nestled in the braids.

Field trials of my contraption to allow me to load my Italian sub with shredded iceberg lettuce and vinaigrette without it going all over the place. Patent pending. Somewhere in there is one of my sesame seed rolls. #foodsky #breadsky

This apple pie awaits us. I followed Claire Saffitz's serious recipe in @bonappetit.bsky.social. But at my wife's request, I made the top crust out of leaves. www.bonappetit.com/recipe/best-... #foodsky

As usual, I spent all day cooking. But not as usual, everything worked out! Including my first attempt at these sourdough dinner rolls,using the recipe from The Perfect Loaf. #breadsky

Nuts.com has caught shrinkflation. In a shipment I received yesterday, organic Medjool dates and organic dried cranberries were in 13-oz bags instead of one-pound bags. The cranberries cost $0.79 per oz instead of the $0.72 per oz I paid in August. I'm not complaining, just observing! #foodsky

For the first time, I saw a chunk of guanciale (cured pork jowl) in a store. Heck, even finding it diced in a plastic package is rare enough. So of course I bought it. I see spaghetti carbonara in our future. Mad props to Iavarone Bros. for stocking it, as well as capicola (aka gabagool). #foodsky

Some days what's required is lots of pasta, cheeses, and bechamel sauce topped with breadcrumbs, accompanied by a token vegetable. Today was one of those days. #foodsky

What's wrong with this Italian sub? Well, the moment I put this batch of rolls in the oven, I realized I had forgotten the sesame seeds! And I went to a deli that was convenient but not the best, so no gabagool! But otherwise, it should be good. #breadsky

Today, as a gesture of thanks to those helping with our renovations, I made pizza, for the first time in months, using my Ooni Koda 16. It worked out out fine, but I'm still looking for more crunch. What do you do, friends, to get crunch? (I used Tony Gemignani's master dough with biga.) #pizzanerd

Ken Adams @adamsdrafting.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Drove my wife to Connecticut today, so I went to New Haven, to try Modern Apizza for the first time. The crust of my pizza was, at the edge, light and flimsy. Elsewhere, it was drowned in puddles of melted mozzarella and exhibited a terminal case of flopitis. Not my type of pizza. #pizzanerd

Any flying-squirrel experts out there? I'm wondering how they managed to trash in three months the swell crib I installed for them.

Same dough, one boule, one batard, but since I'm not keen on foppish French terminology, let's try "ball" and "bastard" 😀 #breadsky

Today's cranberry and walnut sourdough loaves. They're great, but I've scaled down my sourdough habit: after months of twice-a-day feeding, the starter is in the fridge. And of these loaves, one will go in the freezer or to friends: there's a limit to how much bread the two of us can eat! #breadsky

Two cranberry and walnut sourdough loaves, one scored with a series of angled slashes, the other with one lengthwise score.

Here's the result. More chewy than crunchy, so further work required. As always!

So we've been waging an unpleasant and expensive battle to evict them, with unmarked graves in the backyard. I wish the world still belonged to them and other wonders of creation, and not to us. As a trivial gesture of atonement, I installed this nesting box for them in a tree in our front yard. 2/2

See this cute critter? It's a flying squirrel. Because we've destroyed their habitat, they're moving into suburban homes, ours being one of them. We've had a colony of them wreaking havoc. One showed up in a drawer in a bathroom, I kid you not. 1/2

Last night's shrimp and grits, using a Serious Eats recipe. There's a lot going on: My homemade pressure-cooker chicken stock. Gruyère in the grits. Mushrooms. Bacon. Finished with butter and lemon juice. Delicious, but an occasional treat. #foodsky

Here's this year's Greek vasilopita ("St Basil's bread"), eaten on New Year's Day. It's basically challah with mahlepi (the ground pit of a kind of cherry), mastica (pine resin), and grated orange rind. I used challah braiding, then spoiled it by adding the year on top in ropes of dough. #breadsky

A round braided loaf, with "2025" spelled out, clumsily, in dough across the top.

What's for lunch? Detroit-style pizza, using Peter Reinhart's "bacon and eggs" recipe from Perfect Pan Pizza and, for the dough, Charlie Anderson's recipe. #pizzanerd

A Detroit-style pizza in a 10x4 LloydPans pan. The toppings consist of cheese, cubes of slab bacon, quartered cherry tomatoes, and arugula, with four baked eggs.

My first piece of the pizza, with extra tomatoes and arugula on top.
