A fortuitous accident!
 

LOL, now I've been making bread for ages with a bread machine. I
rarely screw up but I did yesterday.

I was making my regular buttermilk bread to turn into rolls for the
next few days for us all (dough mode). I got distracted helping
Charlotte find some spices (she wanted this one in a sort of pizza
spice set).

I forgot to add the yeast. 1.5 hours later the machine beeped and there
was this 1/2 normal sized ball (maybe 1/3 sized).

oops. So I set up another batch of french bread as we contemplated
this. (Freench later came out perfect as normal).

We tested the dough and it was well developed, just not puffy. I
decided to try using it for something else in an experiment. I pulled
out some 10 home made sausage patties (I can later post the seasoning i
use on ground pork). Cooked the pork bits and set them aside.

We worked this dough very easily by hand to small flat bits and wrapped
cooked sausage in it. Some sausage patties were bigger so we made a
sort of bed and put a top sheet over it. Edges crimped, this baked to
perfection in 18 mins or so in a preheated 400F oven.

Nifty! I think I will deliberately do this again with some other
things like those double sausage-looking bits that are somewhat like a
kielbasa.

Dough recipe:

1 1/3 c butter milk
1/3 c water plus 1 tb
4 c flour, fluffed into cup with a spoon
4 ts sugar
1 ts salt

We added 1 tb each: Oregano, basil, sage

Problem is, can you duplicate the entire process, exactly? ;-)

Hee hee! Some of the most successful things were discovered by
accident! Bakelite, Frosted Flakes, pennicillin, etc.

They are better steamed. Very similar to Siu Bao.

Easily! It's just my normal go-to bread dough recipe without the yeast.

Hehe yup! Sometimes when I screw up, I find something new that we all
like.

I have a butterball turkey sausage set (2$ coupon, doubling coupons up
to 2 sale) at 2/5$ so paid 50 cents each. I suspect they will work
well into 2 long versions then cut to a few pieces.

True, Siu Bao is made with leavened dough but they are also made with
unleavened dough. They are more like a pot sticker just with a thicker
dough. I like the way the steaming makes them chewy.

Yup! I don't screw up too often but like normal folks, I do some
times.

One of my other 'screw ups' that turned out very well was a butternut
squash soup attempt. Someone else's TnT type but they left something
out and I've never ben sure what. It looked off but they said, no just
like I typed. It was definately not a soup. It tasted good but was
too thick by far with chunks. Charlotte said it tasted like pie
filling. She was right so I enhanced that and went with the flow.

Tasting it more, I added chinese 5 spice then made up a batch of 'no
Knead pie dough' (I have the recipe someplace). That gets pressed into
a large cassarole then I filled it with the so called soup after
running a stick blender around, added brown sugar and honey then baked
it. Quite good!

That no knead pie dough is a gloopy thick one and you press it along
the sides and add the filling then as it bakes, it rises up and through
the filling to make a very OLD TIME sort of dessert. In the end, it
looks a bit like a coffee cake with the swirls. Similar in effect to
if you started with fresh dough, to make a bread pudding sort of dish.

Eat as is or reheat with a dollup of milk if it gets a bit dry at the
end.

Glad you used yer noggin on this mishap. I've forgotten the yeast too, but don't recall what I did with that dough.

Worse yet, I once threw out the paddle and had to spent 18 bucks for a replacement. ABM has still saved a small fortune in the bread line tho over 25 years.

LOL! I've had to replace a machine over a lost paddle becuse the
replacement was more than a new machine. I like ones that do not come
off easily. Then again, I generally use dough mode instead of baking
it in the pan these days.

Oh, ha-ha. I cud've shot myself. I later obtained a second ABM, so I'm not as concerned about another mishap like that. I nevertheless treat it like a first folio Shake.

Gee, how much was a paddle vs. a new machine?

(going OT...) I recently broke a poorly made, one piece, molded plastic
handle on my GE fridge and they wanted $87.00 for the replacement. This
is a disturbing trend.

At least you can even GET one. Think of all these things now with rechargeable batteries. Once that batt won't take or hold another charge, it's curtains for the entire ensemble. Been thru this with Oral B toothbrushes et al.

Uh huh. This is why I stick with the old style toothbrush. Unless both
of my hands are broken, I can still brush my teeth. :)

In that case, it was only on Ebay and they wanted 57$ for the paddle.
Another wanted 127$ for the paddle. I got a new machine on an
amazon.com sale for 37$.

I got some cheap Chinese knock-offs to replace the handle/battery of my Oral-B toothbrush. They work fine. Next I'm gonna get cheap Chinese knock-off brush heads. I guess then it's gonna be an Oral-C toothbrush. :)

around $10-$15.

Specific brands cycle all the time. The fact that you found a set for
a brand in a good price is very nice. It doesnt solve an older brand
machine no longer in production where parts are no longer available.
