It’s been a minute since I made scones! Unfortunately, they’re not my favorite to make, as they’re a little bit cumbersome (e.g. grating a full frozen stick of butter 🫠) but there’s no denying, they sure are a people pleaser! # sourdoughscones

I followed sourdough pizza recipe and actually tweaked it a little, adding mozzarella cheese to the crust for a stuffed-crust sausage pizza! It had a wonderful crunch on the bottom and warm, soft, cheesy crust. So good!

…and then I got an oven that worked again!

If you’re new around here, I started my sourdough journey in 2022 and decided to sell at the local farmers market last summer. The first few markets went great! And then, my loaves stopped rising or browning as they should. After troubleshooting in all the ways I could think of, I ultimately figured it was my gas stove that just couldn’t retain heat like it once did. (This was the oven in our tiny 600 sq ft cabin we’d been living in the last 18 months 🫠).

Fast forward to last week when we finally moved into our new home and I tried my first bread batch in the new oven — and I am oh, so happy!!

The difference? I suspect it’s because the new one is electric (old was gas) and it just seems to retain the heat better. I know that’s not the case for many people, but it seems to have made a big difference for me.

That said, they’re not all perfect and I have to play with the time and temperature a bit now that it actually works, but I’m excited to potentially get back to selling.. for reals, this time. 😆 On my way to get more organic flour tonight and get another batch in this weekend. I might ditch the Dutch oven even and try open bake? Wish me continued luck! 🥖

Another soup day calls for another loaf of pumpkin bread! FORTUNATELY, I had the time to make these two loaves without rushing the process (too much, anyway! 🥴)

I’m finding that is generally my issue lately; I just can’t seem to find a single open day to get one started and then stick around long enough to fold and turn them! Between homeschooling, building a house, extracurricular activities and everything in between, the fall season has completely gotten away from me! Anyone else?!
