<<< It would have worked, I know that for a fact. Remember the cinnamon
rolls that brought in big bucks at the arts auction? I made those on
site, with yeast from a jar. Did up a sponge the afternoon before, kept
in in the kitchen pavilion near the range so it got intermittent heat at
least, covered with a black plastic trash bag to soak up the sun's rays
during the day. Made a slack dough in the morning, let them rise and
baked just before auction time.>>>
What's a "slack dough"? How much was "big bucks"? It sounds like they
went over well. How did you bake them? In a dutch oven? If so, then
this might be an idea for those talking about dutch oven recipes in
another thread.
<<< The moral of the story is: Always Dare! The worst that could have
happened is not much different from what you had already.>>>
Yes, but in a competition sometimes daring can cause you to lose the
competition depending upon the rules of that particular contest. As a
minimum, effort and time spent working on a failing project might
keep another dish from getting made. So, I can see where some teams
might choose not to attempt to bake something.
