Homemade Buns and Pioneer Woman's Marlboro Man Sandwich

I finally have the "knack" for baking bread that needs kneading AND I am over the not liking the kneading bit. I rarely made bread if it wasn't in the bread machine but since this summer I've been fascinated by this.

Last week I found a recipe from King Arthur Bread flour that had GREAT reviews.  This is a great site. 
My review would be included in the good reviews because it was easy to make and turned out great.  I added a couple of dashes of Onion Salt, Garlic Powder and just a few caraway seeds to the dough...those are not little bugs on them.*s*..

Before putting them into the oven I brushed then with an egg white, sprinkled over some coarse salt and just a very few caraway seeds.  I shaped 3 of them into oval buns and the rest were little buns.

Nothing to it and ohhhh so yummy...I fixed the Marlboro Man sandwich with cubesteak just like the PioneerWoman  and Marc and I loved it on these buns.

Apple Cake in an Iron Skillet

First my thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are in the path of Hurricane Irene or the

 devestation she is spreading along the way.  Be safe......

+++++++

I love apple cakes and I went back to Pioneer Woman for her recipe for Skillet Apple Cake.

Cored and sliced apples cook in butter and sugar while the batter is made.  It smelled so good.

The batter is spooned on top of the apples in the skillet and baked in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

The cake came out of the oven like this. 

And after 5 minutes was flipped onto a plate.

Note to self...bake cake longer than 25 minutes - go for the definite golden brown. 

But we really thought it turned out yummy....  We served it with ice cream.

Thank you Ree for  a great recipe.... Judi xoxo
