Sadly, the dog broke into the bin on the counter and ate the rest of it so we only got one serving. She has a weakness for bread products and will find them in all sorts of places we thought were out of her reach.

Clearly a purebread.

Oh no, bookworm! Lol!!

I've been selling bread, three orders this week.  For fun Ive realized that I can do custom stenciling without much effort and it makes people super happy. 

I'm working on a spinach feta loaf, and a  pickle (!) loaf.  Honey graham has been popular.

I've been in contact with the health inspector, so am mpving forward with the home bakery.

Bookworm-- I have a cat like that. Hell, I'm like that!

CG that is so exciting!!! Here bread is an exempt class of food so very little in the way of health dept intervention. :)

Lab/beagle. The worst of both breeds. Bottomless stomach and too smart for her own good.

Today's bake. I haven't cut into it yet, but so far really happy. I used Sarah Owens' "table loaf" recipe which uses only 10 grams of starter. Amazing.

Not sourdough, but I am rather proud of how this boule turned out.

Beautiful!

It was tasty too. Just a quick no knead bread but it turned out really nice and airy.

I just baked off two loaves that I meant to bake yesterday.  I had started the levain and then got distracted so put it all in the fridge after it had become bubbly.  Pulled it back out today, added flour, etc., and it rose beautifully.  One loaf was turmeric and pepper, the other Tuscan herb.

I got the America's Test Kitchen Bread Illustrated book yesterday. To break it in I made the garlic knots from the book since we had lasagne for dinner. So tasty and easy. Now to work through the rest of the recipes.

I started my own starter today ( recipe courtesy of New Scientist!)

I’ve been meaning to try before but it’s necessary now. No yeast in the supermarket 🤬

womble, how's it going?

I'm actually making yeast bread today for some older neighbors who didn't get any because it was sold out at the store.

that's very sweet of you, CheryG

I read about rye starter and a Portuguese rye bread recipe on the Leite's Culinaria newsletter this morning. Now I'm tempted to see if I can get my hands on rye flour.
