Last night, I started baking some bread when my friends showed up at my house, told me to “put on some pants,” and kidnapped me away to Chili’s. I left the bread in a much cooler section of my kitchen, praying to pull off the ever-elusive “slow rise.” (That’s what she said.)
My poor dough was left unattended for nearly 4 hours, and by the time I arrived home I had no intentions of staying up for another 2+ hours to see if I was able to salvage a loaf of bread from that tea-towel covered bowl. I decided to leave it where it was and come back to it the next day.
I came home from work this evening and checked on the dough, and it was instantly obvious that this was never going to be a loaf of delicious whole wheat bread.
But since I hate wasting food, love goofing off in the kitchen, and don’t know when to leave well enough alone, I was determined to make something out of nothing.
Rolling out the dough.
The chips: triple chocolate chip, peanut butter, and butterscotch.
Cutting the dough into strips.
From top: Triple chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch.
Brushed with melted butter/homemade vanilla extract and sprinkled with sugar.
Baked in an oven at 350F.
So, they didn’t come out as something that can automatically be sold in a bake shop first run, but all things considered I’m calling it a success. I didn’t have to waste any dough, they’re pretty tasty, and shit man… they’ve got chocolate in them!
