Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.
You can find all my recipes on my website at www.yourhomebasedmom.com.#smallbatchrecipes #cookingfortwo #smallbatchcooking

I’m glad this video came in my feed. I recently downsized recipes to small batch. It’s summer and I don’t want to freeze breads to save space since we are only 2. I’m making only 1 lb loaves, and smaller batches of rolls, etc. Great channel for this. Just subscribed!

Hi again - Well, I tried this focaccia recipe again. I made sure not to over proof and I used a little smaller pan - I think that was another problem I had - the pan I used the first time was just a bit too big. Plus my fresh basil was ready so I used some of that. And the recipe was a success! It poofed up and was bubbly and light and soft and tasty! I used the herb infused oil and parmesan cheese to top it. That's a great recipe and I'll definitely make it again. However, I also tried to make some cake donuts and I followed the recipe exactly but they were hard and flat....so I don't know what I did wrong there...have to try again...it wasn't your recipe. :)

i will definitely try this. It looks delicious. I don't know a good ratio of olive oil to balsamic vinegar. I never heard of dipping bread in vinegar until I was an adult. I am midwestern and we didn't go to fancy restaurants. I want to learn to make macarons (not macaroons). Can you do (teach) that?

I love your small batch recipes by the way! Just printed your written small batch focaccia bread recipe and it had sun dried tomatoes as an option.

well Leigh Anne - I made this yesterday - I proofed the yeast - which made a huge head of foam, then mixed it up and let it rest and it doubled in size - then spread in the pan and it spread easily meaning it had rested enough - but it didn't rise the 2nd time - no bubbles didn't rise - I let it rest in the pan over 30 minutes - but no bubbles didn't rise - I tried to push it down some and then I baked it anyway (it had rested 30 minutes) but it didn't rise - it was flat. Everything went fine until the dough was in the pan - spread it out fine - but it didn't rise the 2nd time - same kitchen - it was warm. I was so disappointed - what did I do wrong?

What kind of yeast were you using? Was it Active Dry Yeast or Rapid Rise Yeast? Also, overproofing on the first rise can prevent it from rising on the second rise.
@jeanineruby
Жыл бұрын
@@LeighAnneWilkes it was active dry and I let it proof for ~10 minutes. Do you mean I let it rise for too long on the 1st rise? I let it rise for 30 minutes like the recipe said. The dough had doubled in size and it didn't spring back when I put it in the baking pan and patted it out - I didn't know you could over proof your dough. See, I'm learning so much from you!
@LeighAnneWilkes

@@jeanineruby You can overproof or let the dough over rise the first time and when that happens it weakens the structure of the dough which could prevent it from rising the second time. It see if your bread is risen, push your finger into it, If the dough springs back right away, it needs more proofing. But if it springs back slowly and leaves a small indent, it's ready to bake. If the indentation stays and doesn't spring back at all the dough is overproofed.
