Today's harvest.

- More cheese sticks for my freezer.
- More vegan, gluten-free cookies for friends on a very restricted diet.
- This season's first tomatoes from plants I grew from seed.

I will have one later, purely for testing purposes, obviously.
The rest will go into the freezer. (Self control is so much easier if the objects of your desire* are frozen rock solid.)

*and these are true calory bombs:
500gr strong bread flour
200gr full fat milk
100gr butter (folded into what would become a many-layered dough**)
120gr cheese
30gr fresh yeast
19gr sugar
**like a croissant dough

More cheese sticks. Yesterday's lot* were almost as purist as you can get: just bread dough & cheese (with a dusting of tandoori powder).
Today, I ground cumin & kardemom, and added to that homemade garlic powder and a bit of tandoori powder (the latter for the colour mostly). I spread that over the rested dough, before adding & enclosing the cheese.

I'll test one later; the rest will go straight into the freezer.

Most of these are for the freezer but I am happy to admit that I made them today, because I almost got up with the thought, 'I would love a cheese stick right now.'
So, I will have two or three or four of them before I will bag & freeze the rest of today's harvest.

Ingredients:
165gr water
6gr fresh yeast
250gr strong bread flour
4gr salt
150(!)gr grated cheese
A light dusting of tandoori powder

The roads are slippery today, so the one hour (to & fro) walk to our village shop was a slow, careful process, which didn't encourage looking at the snowy vistas while walking. So this pic I took in my garden earlier must do. I'd also kneaded a batch of dough before I left. On my return I turned that into cheesy bread sticks; for the freezer, alas.

(I spread blitzed anchovies, gochujang, honey & fermented soy beans over the dough before adding the cheese.)

Apart from the fact that my lazy chair option would be
- cheese sticks &
- a small stack of Stephen Kings I have read at least five times
amen, sister!
