The bench knife is a baker’s best friend (DiceFood.com)

The bench knife is a baker’s best friend

Filed under: Food Gadgets

A bench knife, which is a flat rectangular piece of metal with a wooden or plastic handle on one side.
One of the tools that I use the most is my trusty bench knife. Some people call it a bench scraper, and I’ve also heard it referred to as a bencher, but bench knife is my favorite term.

The main duty of the bench knife is to divide dough and I use mine frequently throughout the day while I’m at work. It’s also helpful in moving dough around. If your dough is a little sticky, the bench knife can help you get it from the table/counter to the scale to rising spot. On in addition to all that, the bench knife is great for keeping your work space clean. Experienced bakers know how the dough seems to get into the oddest places and dry there. Use this tool to scrape up all the little bits and then brush them into the garbage. Just be a bit careful on easily scratched surfaces.

Grilled veggie lasagna from Dinner with Julie (DiceFood.com)

Grilled veggie lasagna from Dinner with Julie

Filed under: Vegetables, On the Blogs

grilled veggie lasagna getting layered
Lasagna isn’t really my thing. I will happily eat it when others prepare it, but I’ve always found it to be sort of fussy and unappealing to make on my own (all that pasta pre-boiling and careful layering just left me cold). Besides, I always felt like you could get comparable flavors with a pasta bake - noodles tumbled together with garlicky red sauce, sauteed spinach and a carton of ricotta cheese and topped with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese has always been my favorite.

What is durum flour? (DiceFood.com)

What is durum flour?

Filed under: Grains

Durum wheat. Durum wheat is a type of wheat that has an especially high protein content, and in fact its name derives from the Latin word for “hard”.

Durum flour, with its high protein content, makes dough with unusually strong gluten. It’s generally used in pizza dough and pasta, and its more coarsely ground cousin semolina is used to make cous cous. Though you can make bread with durum flour, recipes usually mix durum and regular wheat flour.

Gallo Salame and Provolone Cheese SnackI had the munchies late last night, and like a bad boy I found myself rummaging through the refrigerator, and found this package of Gallo Salame & Provolone Cheese Snack.
