Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - DFen911 - 03-09-2008 Ok this is a pictorial post First my bread. I did two batches. I let them rise for a full 18 hours. After they rose I did the 'fold'. The first loaf I folded left side and right side in and then top and bottom. I put loaf one in the corningware to rise and loaf two went into the french loaf pan. While these were rising the Chili went on. Ingredients = And chili is on Well the bread is done. OMG this bread is fantastic! Loaf one and two respectively - Dinner is served - Desert was Molten lava Cake. This picture was taken before it was removed from the ramekin and garnished. A very successful evening Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - esgunn - 03-09-2008 O.K. - so you were teasing with the !!! Everything looks fantastic!!! Oh my, what a meal. Delish. Which bread type is your favorite> Regular loaf or the french loaf? I am assuming the french loaf worked out well? Sure looks like it did. Hope everyone was VERY appreciative of that meal - I know I would be. Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - DFen911 - 03-09-2008 I guess I should have mentioned I took the french loaf out about 8 minutes before the other loaf since it was more narrow and I was figuring it would cook faster. This bread came out so good! And it went perfect with the chili. I am so stuffed right now I feel as if I can barely move. Hahaha Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - firechef - 03-09-2008 Any ideas how to get tongue prints off a computer screen? Looks very good Denise. Glad it went over well. Left over Chili for lunch on Sunday? OT-I am so jealous...you have scallions. We have THREE grocery stores up in town and I could not get Fontina cheese, scallions or shallots in ANY of them tonight. They all looked at me like I was nuts when I asked about shallots and Fontina. I am SO sick of living in the middle of nowhere... Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - luvnit - 03-09-2008 Beautiful pictures and what a lovely meal. Do you have a recipe for your Molten Lava Cake? It would give me an excuse to buy Ramekins! Thanks for sharing your meal. I loved every bit(e). Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - Gourmet_Mom - 03-09-2008 What a great looking meal! All those onions! YUMMMMMY! The bread looks GREAT! I love the long loaf. I went to do up my dough last night...forgot I used the last of my yeast on pizza dough the other night! Dang! OT-LJ, I can get the scallions, but not the shallots. Fontina, Feta, anything not made by Kraft or "store" brand...forget it! Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - Mare749 - 03-09-2008 Great pics, Denise! They make me hungry! I'm so glad you are happy with your bread results. It really is easy and fun to play with also, although I always go back to the original recipe. Thanks for sharing your meal with us. Maryann Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - mjkcooking - 03-09-2008 Now you done it! I have got to make this bread this week - after these great pictures and the reviews and praises Thanks for the pictures - they alway help. I'll try this very soon. marye Re: Bread, Chili and Lava Cake...Oh My! - DFen911 - 03-09-2008 Laura the recipe is one that FC gave me I tried to invert them like some of the other recipes called for, but with this recipe I don't recommend it. They look pretty in the ramekins and they do taste yummy. Also for the chocolate I didn't have any 'cooking' chocolate so used my chocolate chips that I was going to use for cookies hehe Molten Chocolate Cakes Servings: Makes 4 servings. Ingredients 5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1 tablespoon brandy 2 large eggs 2 large egg yolks 5 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder Large pinch of salt 1 tablespoon all purpose flour 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream Preparation Generously butter four 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Arrange on baking sheet. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in brandy. Cool 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using electric mixer (on high), beat eggs, yolks, 4 tablespoons sugar, vanilla, 1 teaspoon espresso powder and salt in medium bowl until very thick ribbon falls when beaters are lifted, about 10 minutes. Sift flour over batter; fold in flour. Fold in chocolate mixture. Divide batter among dishes, filling completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover loosely; refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.) Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake cakes until tops are puffed and dry and tester inserted into center comes out with moist batter still attached, about 15 minutes. Cool cakes 5 minutes. Beat cream, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder in small bowl until firm peaks form. Top cakes with whipped cream and serve warm.
