An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
The "minced onion" at McDonald's is rehydrated onion flakes. It takes about 30 seconds to get them to absorb a bit of water, and they are then useful to top burgers, sandwiches, etc.
Since you're putting them in dough, I would assume they are rehydrating in the dough
My grocery store carries big shakers, all in the same brand, of (in order from finest to most course/granular) powder, minced, chopped, and flakes, all dried. I wasn't even talking about the jars of not-dried minced.
Though I bought a jar of minced ("wet") onion unintentionally due to a mixup the other day and used that instead and it was pretty good. Made my bread taste very sweet compared to the dried version. But the dried version is also good. (The "minced? madness" comment is just a joke, but I do kindof like the bigger flakes.)
But, yeah. Once it's baked, the result is pretty moist. I do think the dried onions rehydrate during cooking. (I cook my bread in the microwave for about 3 minutes and 40 seconds.)
You can bake bread in the microwave!!!???!!??
Here is my recipe for low-carb microwave bread (and, the onion thing is a newer addition since I wrote up that recipe) but there are microwave recipes out there for wheat-flour-based bread. It's surprisingly easy, really.
My recipe also uses baking soda and vinegar rather than yeast or anything. I think the baking soda/vinegar approach is more doable for microwave bread than it is for oven bread because the microwave version usually involves a lot less cooking time than an oven version.
One more note: I think the paper ice cream tub method works better than the stonewear ramekin method. Maybe the microwaves penetrate the paper better or something? Not sure.
This looks awesome! I’m going to have to try this some time
Powder is when I'm lazy making something that vaguely resembles chili. Also for onion rolls, the powder goes into the dough mixture (flakes go into the rolling process and on top though)
