    So I looked up which olive oil to use and got this information from a Baker's Guide website: www.bakefromscratch.com/bakers-guide-extra-virgin-olive-oil/
    Harvest Date Matters
    Early Season: Olive oil created from an early harvest of olives will have a significantly greener taste, higher antioxidant count, and longer shelf life than late season olive oil. Their pungent, spicy flavor is best suited for savory baking.
    Late Season: Buttery and mild, late season olive oil lends itself well to general baking and won’t over power other flavors.
    In that case, we should probably look for Olive oil that are harvested in Late Season. There are other factors including the type of olives. I'm really looking foward to trying this recipe!

    When you pull out the tape measure the accurate measure is inside diameter. That is a 9 inch pan. The same holds true for a square or rectangular pan (ie: 8 x 8 or 9 x 13) measured from the inside walls of the pan.

  • @poochiejack978
    @poochiejack978 Рік тому

    That looks like almond flour, rather than almond meal, because it's whiter than almond meal. Almond meal still has the skins on, making it more tan/brown. Would it be okay to use almond flour? Also, I've had my Kitchen Aid Mixer for 20 years, I use it especially around the holidays. I purchased the splatter guard for mixing, but it was a nuisance. Now, I just cut a hole in the center of a paper plate and a slit on the side and it works great, no mess. It's great for long mixes like butter cookies, but just mixing you lose control over the process, IMHO. Still love my emulsion blender, hand mixer, and elbow grease.

    Stéphane, when you add the olive oil to the speeding mixer which create heat, doesn't the olive oil go bitter? That's usually what happens if you add olive oil to a pesto for example when the mixer is upheated in motion.

      I just made this, and no that's not an issue at all. Honestly, I've never had that issue with pesto either, but blenders heat up food because the motor's right next to the food bowl. A mixer doesn't heat up food - when was the last time you made a cake batter with a mixer and wound up thinking "wow, this is already starting to cook"?

    It's weirding me out a little because of how much it looks like cornbread lol

      Looks like it, but doesn't taste like it or feel like it, at all!

      Stephane used bleached almond flour; I used unbleached, which has brown flecks from the almond skin, and it looks more like a rustic gâteau aux noix.

    Do you always cook barefooted? Isn't that risky?
