Another almond mixed berry coffee cake with a streusel topping. 🫐🍰
Next time I think I'll reduce the streusel - it's too thick but I sure do love the slivered almonds on top. 😋

Ran out of room in main fridge so I had to place #sourdough in the mini fridge to cold proof and for some reason - it proofed too much! Temp in fridge isn't cold enough or somethin. I had to push sides of the dough underneath the lid w/ a plastic chopstick (good tip btw)

When you've eaten yummy tikka masala at a nice indian restaurant and are left with just a bit of sauce and decide to take those drops of sauce to make a tiny meal for lunch.
None of it can go to waaaaste! 😋

Another delicious baked sourdough loaf from last week.
I've finally nailed the ingredient measurements for the loaf pans I use.

Baked my first banana blueberry bread pudding. I've been dreaming about the one at the cafe in Sausalito, CA and wanted to try it out myself.

More lemon blueberry sourdough scones!I make these a lot at home.
I pretty much make two scone patties and then pack blueberries in the middle and then add some to the outside. Mixing blueberries with spatula doesn't work very well for me. 🤷♀️

Sourdough was so active that I had concerns it would pop the lid off. 😬
In the end I had to put some on parchment paper to dry and make dried sourdough starter to store for a rainy day lol.

Update on my sourdough cinnamon raisin bread. She turned out alright! ✨
It's very sourdough tasting for this loaf compared to a plain loaf I make which might be due to the warm proofing instead of cold proof??? Not sure - the fam approves of it so yay.

I'm back! Aaaand I'm playing with recipe measurements and may or may not have either over proofed this cinnamon raisin sourdough loaf or overfilled the load pan. Will update tomorrow what happens. 😁😬

I accidentally baked my proofing sourdough bagel dough in the oven. Turned on oven thinking I took it out already for scones. 🥲
Not salvageable - there was plastic wrap on top and it is nowhere to be seen...
