Day 45:
Today I worked on my rolls for Thanksgiving. I made a 3x batch of herb rolls. I think I ended up with probably somewhere around 17lbs of dough. It took me forever to weigh out the correct sizes and shape them! Each batch makes about 66 rolls and I had 3 batches! I only needed 1 batch for my house, the rest were for Rex to sell and take home for his Thanksgiving. I had planned on making some soft white rolls when I finished, but do to some miscalculations, Adrienne had more than enough dough for white rolls so she sat next to me the entire time weighing out her own rolls and we just used her leftover dough for mine. Worked out nicely.
By the time I finished the rolls, it was probably 12:30ish. I wanted to start my cheesecake but I wouldn't have time to finish them. I had a meeting at 3:15 and they are in the oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours total. Rex told me that if I got them all made and put in the oven, he would pull them out for me.
I got started on my cheesecakes. I decided to make a pumpkin cheesecake and a brownie cheesecake. I wanted them to be perfect, so I took a lot of time preparing my batter.
After I had everything all prepared I put them in a steam bath and in the oven and left them to Rex. For perfect creamy, crumbly cheesecake you put them in a hot water bath and bake them at 300 or 325 for 1 hour and then shut off the oven and leave them in there untouched for another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Pull them out and chill them.
I will see how they turn out tomorrow.
