I bought a cat bed.
We don’t have a cat.
Dog doesn’t care.

I think my starter went nuts. Overnight rise is supposed to double. This 1 liter batch went TRIPLE.
Over-proofed much?
Baked in a double Dutch cast iron loaf pan.
Very tasty 😋

My Atlas isn’t as large, but it still does nicely.

Today’s bake.
Cast Iron Double Dutch loaf pan.
20% rye dough.
Artisan style round loaves may look amazing, but standard loaf pan slices make for awesomely more easier sandwich slices.
YAY 😀

If you make your own pasta at home, no matter what shape or size, fresh pasta cooks very quickly.

I LOVE my Atlas pasta machine and my gnocchi boards ✅

It wasn’t much better here in central Florida. Got my puppy a warm snuggle pillow. He’s toasty.

Sourdough bread doesn’t need to be incinerated to be YUMMY 👍

O.K……

IT'S FREEEEEEZING outside. We moved to Florida so this wouldn’t be an issue. I’m staying in my toasty bed until you FIX IT 🥶

Agreed. The act of baking predates the geopolitical morons. My loaf totally agrees with you ✅

Just in time for the Florida freeze I got my puppy a nice warm snuggle bed. His nose is burrowed under the left side. I wasn’t sure he’d like it, but happily I was wrong 😑

Wheat loaf. Cast iron double dutch oven. Two standard size loaf pans that join together to form a "perfect" totally closed baking environment. Moisture from dough contained. Silicone baking sling means I don’t need to grease the pan (changing the flavor)

Instant Pot stacked proofing. Soaker on bottom, starter on top. Yogurt setting low. 4 hours @ 80F. Before and after. House is cold. Sourdough needs toasty. Awesome 👏
Now I can make a sourdough wheat loaf 👍

Sourdough loaf baked in a covered Cast Iron Dutch Oven.

Two days of prep tests my lack of patience, but in the end …

It doesn’t need to be scorched to death to be totally yummy ✅

My favorite Pullman tins are half loaf and cube loaf. Standard loaf recipe fills two tins. Eat one mini loaf and freeze the other for later 😋

Two fresh Pullman style sourdough half loaves side by side in the bread bucket. Plastic lid keeps the moisture in and the critters out 😁 Milk and honey sandwich bread. Super fluffy.
The hard part was letting them age after baking while trying to convince myself that they weren’t there 🚫

Happy New Year everyone 😁

The best part with homemade sourdough bagels is that you can make them medium, not burnt 🥵

Sourdough doesn’t need to be crunchy to be YUMMY 😋

The Emperor was planning on refurbishing his Palace at Mar-A-Lago.

When his Court Jester returned from a price check at the local Home Depot, he immediately issued a Royal Proclamation so the work can be completed before the tariff kicks in.

My bagel topping mix had expired so I made mine plain. Never made bagels before. WHO in their right mind BOILS BREAD 🍞
