I’ve never made donuts!

Not even in a car?

I made a nice borscht tonight with our garden ingredients: beets, potato, onions, celery, carrots. It was topped with home yoghurt. Yum!! We had it with homemade sourdough pumpernickel bread.

Oooh, pumpernickel… it’s on my list! I’m a bit intimidated though! What type of tea did you use?

I went to the Co-op yesterday and picked up more berries yesterday. Rye, soft white, spelt and Kamut (new to me!) followed me home. They were out of hard white unfortunately, which is what I really wanted as I’m almost out of it.

It was a challenging mix for a sourdough bread. The rye flour makes for a sticky, wet boule. It took a long time (much more than the recipe) to get the inside temp up to 200º. I like it, but my wife is a perfectionist and was dissapointed. She used coffee, no tea.

I made Amish cinnamon bread today. This batch is strawberry.

An Aebleskiver Sunday for the Super Bowl. Danish pancake balls. Made two savory. Spicy Corn. And Chicken Bites.

Usually make a Buttermilk dressing. Lazy this year. I bought bleu cheese dressing and my wife bought ranch.

The corn ones have scallion, jalapeno, cheese, and corn meal in the batter. the chicken ones have chicken, shallot, and
parsley.

Mouth watering. Getting into baking a little more and I learned that oil on my hands and bowl scraper really help with sticky dough

New bread today! An ice fishing buddy remarked that my rye was like Irish Brown Bread. I tried it. I played with the flour with hard red, rye, einkorn and kamut berries. I’m not sure how it’s supposed to taste, but this turned out pretty good and was super easy to make and clean up after.

Must smell good. What is the leavening in this bread?

 

[EatenByLimestone]

It’s a soda bread, so

2tsp of baking powder
1 1/2 tsp of baking soda

Prep time was 15-20 minutes. The longest part of which was finding the 1/3 cup scoop.

Yes, soda breads are quick and easy and instantly rewarding. They're the opposite of making a sourdough loaf.

I haven’t tried sourdough yet.

I haven’t tried sourdough yet.

They take a lot more steps, more than yeast breads too.
