Closing Out Winter
Been busy baking and prepping for our Winter Salads Class.
Worked diligently on updating my Sourdough Sandwich Bread recipe. I discovered that the lactic acid in my starter was to acidic. My starter is almost 30 years old. I keep it in the fridge between bakes. I have noticed that the past few bakes were creating breads that did not rise well and were more dense than I would like. The starter was so acidic, that it was killing off the good bacteria. So, I did more research, consulted several experts and made more than a dozen loaves of bread. I am SO EXCITED!!! The sandwich breads are TENDER, TASTY, TERRIFIC AND rose beautifully. Friends and neighbors love when I do a bunch of test bakes!!
Sourdough Sandwich breads will be back on the menu.
Yesterday, Saturday, February 24th was fantastic. The Winter Salads Class was delightful!! These 2 ladies were new friends by the end of the session.
We created salad dressings by understanding how to incorporate the 5 tastes successfully. Each lady then created her own custom Winter Salad. Lots to learn and lots to taste. Had so much fun. We ate, talked, and ate some more.
Looking forward to my next class; The Power of Puff Pastry on March 23rd. Still seats available. Sign up here.
This Saturday, March 2nd, there will be cinnamon buns available. Order yours before they sell out!!
Looking forward to another busy week.
May you “eXperience eXtra Delicious Learning®” today and always.
