A good day's work. 2 sourdough batards and a new sourdough milk bread recipe from a YouTuber in Thailand using a really stiff levain. It the dough was very easy to work with and the results were impressive.

100% whole wheat using a culture from Wales that dates back 900 years. Good and tangy. I cut the recipe in half to get one loaf but apparently I didn't cut the salt in half. Still edible though.

More of the steakhouse bread, this time using all purpose flour in place of the bread flour. This made for a softer bread, like the loaves at a steakhouse. It was sweeter this time as well. Good oven spring but the loaves tended to flatten a little compared to the bread flour loaves. This has become one of my favorite breads.

Another rye bread in the books. We really love this. Tomorrow I'll be doing Vermont Whole Wheat Oatmeal Honey Bread. Recipe calls for 2 loafs. The best for toasting with butter and your favorite jam.

An update. Ready to slice the rye, sorry no other pics as my wife had it wrapped before I finished slicing. I'll try to remember when eating. Next, the Vermont Whole Wheat Oatmeal Honey Bread out of the oven

And finally, sliced one loaf of the Vermont Whole Wheat Oatmeal Honey Bread and the other wrapped for a deep freeze.

Edit: This morning I had scrambled eggs, ham steak and a couple of slices with butter toasted and topped with blueberry jam. It is so good.

I finally succumbed to the MCS and bought the 8 qt commercial Kitchenaid mixer. My original was getting so hot from the over use that it would cook an egg on the head, and I was having to adjust the head constantly to prevent it from bouncing off the counter. Made this Shokupan Milk Bread for its' maiden voyage today.

Pizza night! Made the NY style recipe from Serious Eats.
made the dough last night and refrigerated it until this afternoon. First one was a little bit poofy. I probably could have stretched it out more, but I was hungry.😎
Ham and pineapple, spinach mushrooms and feta cheese, and last one was pesto with fresh mozzarella and halved cherry tomatoes.

I made coconut cupcakes yesterday. I used coconut milk as the liquid in the batter as well as adding 1 C of shredded coconut. I also toasted some coconut for decorative purposes.

I love just about anything with coconut in it, SWMBO not so much, and she is mostly gluten free anyway, so I gave away most of the cupcakes. This photo is of some already wrapped for friends.

Back of the Bag oatmeal bread from King Arthur Baking. The little piggies in the house didn’t even let the first loaf cool all the way! That one slice was my kid not knowing how to slice bread.😝

Apple Cinnamon Monkey bread anyone? See you in about 45 for the reveal.

Rye bread, what a surprise. It's the 2nd bake using the Diastatic Malt Powder. 1st in hard rolls. It appears to make a difference in rise, crumb and for the rolls taste. I wish I took a picture of the loaf prior to the 2nd rise which was 90 minutes.
I cut this small slice to go with the red chili I'm heating up for dinner. Tomorrow I'll use the slicer to do the loaf.

My wife asked for pretzel rolls for Mother’s Day so……

In my mind, I've mastered my 100% whole wheat sandwich bread. I've been in pursuit of that for a couple of years, but I feel like I've finally gotten there on providing my own daily bread. So it was time to branch out.

This is a 100% whole wheat challah that we had with rosemary (from the garden) butter at dinner tonight. I can improve my braiding technique but I'm please with the results.
