Great discard recipe

Sweet local apples are mixed with tangy Sourdough-butter dough, freshly ground chai tea, and sprinkled with turbinado sugar. This Scones recipe is the best!

Excellent example of commercial dough handling and what proofed dough looks like. A real joy to watch this process.

Aspiring sourdough friends, if you aren’t on Instagram I encourage you to. My skills over the years have increased because of the IG format and watching and seeing which is what IG focuses on primarily. I find it a more civil environment as well.
Happy Baking and Happy New Year.

Just a heads up on affordable proofing baskets-try San Francisco Baking Institute! They have lovely, durable linen lined baskets in a variety of sizes!

No need to have the most expensive items, they often don’t indicate quality.

And please don’t compare your bread to the often photographed best loaves of the professional bakers. Strive for a good bloom, relatively even crumb and push the finishing color for more flavor.

Happy New Year

I’ve followed Artisan sourdough groups for years, it’s how I was fortunate to “meet” and interact in DMs with Maurizio Leo(eek!fangirl!. His recently released book, The Perfect Loaf,is just exquisite. The science and thorough descriptions of each process will give insight just not available in any other I have in my library. He offers excellent foundation recipes and flavorful suggestions outside the norm we see so often. The photography, typography and layout is stunning, I wouldn’t expect anything less though. M is a perfectionist with a balance of humility, humor and kindness thrown in. As his career has grown with King Arthur,Food 52 and now, a bestselling book he remains a grounded, still approachable human bean🥰 If you are considering a sourdough journey I recommend his book.

Sourdough pizza in the Neopolitan style is heavenly. Just say the word and I’ll deliver a pizza for New Years!

On an island where most ingredients must be imported, bakers in Puerto Rico are finding innovative ways to make chewy, bubbly, and absolutely delicious pizza.
