I owe a bunch of you folks a big 'thank you' for all the thoughtful recipes. I don't, of course, slavishly follow recipes, but you guys have given me ideas that I never would have before you guys posted your recipes.

I expect to have at least 3 different types of bread. Including brioche. Haven't made that in a while.

The company rep is correct. They all fit, regardless of when made.

I have a stand mixer, but 2 sets of tools from about 30 years apart.

The same tools work on each type.

Many of the tools for the tilt-type also fit the stand type.

Best company I've ever worked with.

We are the grateful ones Johnny, grateful to you. Prayers, recipes, gardening tips, who needs politics? FR has it all. I envy you on the bread making, I have never been good at it. I love a good rye!

I have several great bread pudding recipes. Just have to hunt them down again.

Have a few that use bacon - both sweet and savory bread puddings. Some is mixed in and others have the bacon on top, glazed with a mix of usually brown sugar, butter and sometimes nuts.

And one that uses glazed donuts as part of the bread.

One thing I always add to my bread puddings, even if not in the recipe, is a little fresh grated nutmeg.

Damn now I really have to locate those recipes again so I can make them after I recover enough to use the oven.

My memory is hit and miss now but I seem to recall most of my recipes used in some combination heavy cream, half and half, evaporated milk and /or sweetened condensed milk. And some used extra egg yolks. So they were really rich.

Just three days in to the restricted carbs, and the 4 month plateau seems to have been broken. Lost 2.5 lbs. so far. I’ll hang in at around 60 to 70g of carbs for a while.

Won’t get lower than that as long as I’m losing. Tips such as your will help me a lot. I don’t even like broccoli really, but the Schwan man had some baby steamer bags, so they have a more tender texture, and both the new sauces helped ever so much to make a tasty dish.

When you’re plateauing— and feel like chucking it all...

....remember “fat moves fat”.....

So temporarily adding a bit of fat to your diet usually helps.

There are a few differences between the stand type and the tilt type.

The ones that come to mind are the paddle and the dough hook. Maybe the whisk.

But within a family of mixers (stand or tilt) it doesn't matter how old the equipment is.

I love the company.

Which reminds me... I need to make some bread. ;)

I'm making a Pullman Loaf to go with the rustic loaves in the bread pudding.

Pictured is the mise-en-place (Stuff I'll need) for a pullman loaf. Including a pullman pan. Can't make it without that.

Lots of stuff, and lots of work, but I'll have a wide selection of bread to go in the pudding.

Fascinating! Some fun food history. Looks like a great sandwich bread.

So I’m guessing you want perfectly cut squares for your bread pudding with no waste??

Nah... just a different texture.

The rustic bread I made has lots of air-holes to trap cheese or butter or whatever.

The pullman has a uniform crumb, like store-bought loaves.

You have to post a picture of your bread pudding, I’m sure many will want to see it. And I just used leftover hot dog and hamburger buns. :0
