Merry, would you share your recipe for the bread? I'd LOVE to make that!
Marble rye sourdough recipe

Light Rye dough-
30g active starter
210g water
240g white bread flour
60g light rye flour
1 tsp caraway seed
1Tbs soft butter
4g salt

Dark rye dough-
30g active starter
110g water, 90g coffee, 1Tbs molasses
240g white bread flour
60g dark (or light) rye flour
1 tsp caraway seed
1Tbs soft butter
4g salt

For each dough mix all the ingredients into a shaggy rough dough then cover each bowl and let it rest at room temp for an hour or so. Preform the first set of stretch and folds until the dough forms a soft ball. Do 3 more sets about 30 minutes apart. Keeping covered during rests.

Cover and bulk ferment at room temperature for around 8 hours or until it’s done. (Sourdough doesn’t always follow our time frames, right?)

I had spread the two doughs out one on top of the other and shaped. Marbling was so, so. The next time I do this I will spread it out, one on top of the other and do a couple coil folds and then shape. Refrigerate for 12- 24 hours then bake.

I did an open bake on a pizza stone preheated @ 375F humidified oven after an egg and water wash. It should likely take 40 mins, but check the internal temp to reach 205-209F and have a clean probe.

Typical deli rye score for no “ear”.

Making christmas ribs. Since it has been around -25C the last few days I didn't feel compelled to bring out the smoker...
So low and slow in the oven it is, marinated in a Julmust based sweet honey marinade with some christmas spices and just a dash of Texas gold rub before cooking.

Yorkshire pudding (Hoppy, I promise the batter was in the fridge before I saw your post!) to go with turkey and rice made with neck meat and giblets from the Christmas turkey with the family over the weekend.

They look really good! My husband enjoys a “dinner roll” for holiday meals and one year I didn’t plan for it, yeasted rolls take time of course, but popovers can be whipped up and baked quickly by comparison. He was happy and I was too because I didn’t have to look at him being mopey over the disappointment. This time, they were the plan and rather “traditional” with rib roast.
 
No pictures but - we did a small 2.25# prime rib roast (just two of us) and cut it right down the middle when done! :). We also split a big baked sweet potato in half, and topped it with butter and crispy bacon bits. Some homemade cranberry/jalapeño sauce that I canned at Thanksgiving and a glass of Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cab.

Everyone's meals look wonderful and both batches of popovers came out beautifully.
