Bread was gone so fast I didn't have time to take pictures. I sure wish I had more time to bake these days.

After trying many times to get a starter going from scratch. I gave up and asked for some from the local bakery. She went back and brought me a soup container full. I fed it last night and wow. It's a monster. Hoping to bake tonight or tomorrow.

Yeah I bake by feel. I was sure the dough looked and felt great. I never saw a rise in the proof. maybe halved, but not doubled. I waited and waited. I reformed it and it felt like there wasn't much of anything to hold it together. Like a all bran loaf. I baked it anyhow. little to no...

The last loaf I made in the dutch oven. I forgot to turn the heat down when I took the lid off. It got a little toasted on the bottom. I'm still having issues making bread. It's funny how simple, yet complicated it is. Change one ingredient and walla flat bread. So I'm pretty sure it's...

Okay so my first loaf since killing my starter.

That's strange. My dough was very thick before proofing, almost too thick. after proofing it softened and then adding the egg and sugar it got slimy but held together fine. I've made another batch and it was fine also. I imagine all purpose flour would mess with the consistency and regular...

I made another batch of cookies. This time I proofed 12 hrs, and they were even more cake like. I even got pockets of air like a loaf of bread. Still a solid cookie.

I was hoping nobody would ask. Lol. The crepes had Onions, crimini mushrooms and a fake steak substitute. I've been a vegetarian for I guess 14 years now. Eggs are the only thing I can't go without. I have a friend that has chickens and I get a dozen a week from her. I've built her 3...

How did they turn out?
