The Dough Lab

Bakery pop-up/CSA experimenting with new breads and confections. Goals: quality baked goods, new flavors, no single-use packaging, min. waste.

@FoodNetwork The heel is HIGHLY underrated and deserves more love. Lightly toasted with a swipe of butter is 🤩!

[The Dough Lab @The_Dough_Lab]

@FoodNetwork I can’t decide between rhubarb pie and lemon raspberry muffins. Both are wonderfully springy!

[The Dough Lab @The_Dough_Lab]

Note the name change, effective as of last week!

“Confections of an Experimental Baker” was just too wordy - and I was too stubborn to change it! 🤷‍♀️

Happy icy Sunday #bake to me.

More importantly, happy 1st birthday to Benoulli, love of my life!

My labmates and I finally tried dirty bird fries @HattieBs for #HotChickenWeek21. It was 🔥👌🤩!

@sortedfood The photo doesn’t do it justice, but this Gorgonzola and spinach pasta with pistachio that I had from Babette’s in Rome was 🤩. Take me back to the land of great pastries, pasta, and cheese, please.

@FoodNetwork I've found myself partial to ricotta and egg on a rye bagel from Nashville’s Proper Bagel for breakfast.

The salmon Reuben from @FidoNashville wins my ❤️ for lunch/dinner.

It was quite the #DoughyWeekend preparing the first month of orders. Thanks to all who supported the #baking!

Featured: brown butter squash rolls and the beginnings of #sourdough chocolate bundt cakes

@hiihauru @jenisicecreams I so agree - it is the most perfect ice cream!

It is a privilege to be able to live to eat, and not simply eat to live. What a beautiful story about how food can create community!

[The Kitchn @thekitchn]

"Homelessness & @pearmentor taught me that we all need to eat & if we can find joy in the process of cooking & eating & if we can find a way to maintain community (while still social distancing), everything might be just a little better," says @SabraMBoyd https://t.co/v5whDoXaMI

[The Dough Lab @The_Dough_Lab]

Rolling the dough into balls was easiest. Despite the trouble, even the over baked cookies were well-received by my labmates and had that perfect balance of sweet and savory.

#BackToTheDoughLab to try:
Lower butter to flour ratio
Different flour combo
Adjust baking time/temp

[The Dough Lab @The_Dough_Lab]

I first discovered cumin cookies (Jeera biscuits) from @TheChaiWallah at the @nashfarmmarket and have been in love ever since. Recently, I’ve been working to make a gluten-free version adapted from @CookWithManali.
Side note: their chai is also 🤩

[The Dough Lab @The_Dough_Lab]

Hoping to prevent too much spreading, I froze some of the cookies just until firm before baking (left). Those spread more than the ones that went straight into the oven (right).
