People might rightly think ……Who would be making sprouted brioche buns for Christmas when they haven’t made Christmas cookies, fruit cake, panettone or even puff paste rugelach for Hanukkah? I know it sounds weird but these are special buns for a special Christmas feast that folks from Kansas City don’t know as well as they should.

The 123 SD recipe is one of the very best ones and by far the easiest to remember. It seemed the perfect recipe for Job’s Challenge Bake where the baking process in the temporary, brick WFO would be a bit complex and way more complicated than using the electric Big Old Betsy that bakes our usual loaves.

My wife found some high extraction sprouted rye and high extraction sprouted red and white wheat hanging around somewhere. I knew it was sprouted because it said it was on the label on the lids. I’m guessing it was ground up about month ago…… so you could say it was properly aged, the term millers use to make people think they are getting their flour at the peak of freshness when it really just hiding their 30 day supply chain timeline to get it to you.
2’s are big around here, especially this week. Being a twin, the 2nd one born (a real born loser), in the 2nd month, on the 2nd day, 2 minutes before midnight in 1952 makes 2 a really big deal. It is not a lucky number having lost more money betting on 2 and 22 or even 12 or twice 22 to make one stop betting on 2’s........ if you could.
Lucy wanted to make fruit cake so bad she could taste it and then Danni ruined her party. Poor thing! She feels so sorry for herself. What did she do to deserve this pain and misery? After crying for a whole day and not being able to face the world, she finally came out of her pantry to say that it would be bagels instead.
Lucy being German at heart, has been in the dumps since the election on Tuesday. First she got blindsided by Brexit earlier this year and now by Trump so...... she wanted to throw off the hurt feelings and make one of her favorite breads in a new way - taking it to the next level – just to move on….. into the world the way it is now. Be calm and carry on!
My daughter is going to party with a bunch of her Chi Oh Friends from college tomorrow and they are making Bruschetta. Guess who gets to supply the bread by request – Lucy! Ever since she made her way to the Pumpkin Cover, she has been in big demand – at least in her head.
