OK! Now I want a cheeseburger!!!!! We call that a "Dagwood" sandwich! (he's a classic comic strip character in "Blondie" who's his wife)

We might have to put you to work at our ROADKILL CAFE where burgers are part of the menu. We can call this the Frenchy Burger!

If you want to add the cheeseburger picture on the ROADKILL CAFE, no problem for me, and okay for the title !

I love a good burger, rare to medium rare, (can I have it my way?.....hold the sauce). The Blondie comic is perfect, too funny!

the concept is the same, but the puff pastry is lighter in texture (but richer - a batch of puff pastry is made with 4 cups of flour and 3 sticks of butter). Lots of folding and rolling - I bet a pasta roller would work!

Actually, Laura has a good idea here. Instead of using the typical dough for a calzone, the puff pastry would probably work very well. I think I will do a little experimenting. Of course, puff pastry does not want to become part of you DAILY diet ...

No, the term "Injun" is not a racial slur. The English wire-jawed rulers of India pronounced the word "Indian" as "Injun". Indian cooking (in this case vegetarian cuisine of the south) is a great example of a regional cuisine, and the simplicity ...

Roll out a sheet of puff pastry (hard to make but easy to buy) and cut in two. On one half, layer sauteed onions, garlic, fresh thyme, braised kale, sauteed wild mushrooms (I used chanterelles) and some shredded cheese (Fontina in this case). Seal...

I would go with your recipe but over night 1st rise, knead, 2 hour 2nd rise, knead. Rest. Form into length. Rest for 1 hour. Put slits in. Bake, covered. ( when I say "rest", I mean the dough, not you)

Yes, the standard baguette has a very hard, crusty crust that your have to work hard to break off a piece. But the inside is very light. I was assuming you'd used the no-knead. I have baked baguettes using the no-knead, and they come out great. Ke...
