Hello friends, the aim for today’s experiment, will be to modify an existing recipe, (http://www.cooksrecipes.com/bread/english-muffins-recipe.html,) to create a formula for 40% W.W. English muffins.

Formula:

The Will Falzon method, 40% W.W. English muffins

Ingredients:

My starter is at day five, Slow-Moe2 is looking active and smelling delish! However, still far from a stable strong starter. I needed to bake something, quick bread was just the ticket! One spur of the moment Irish soda bread. http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-products/a42756/irish-soda-bread-recipe/

Next week we will be celebrating my daughter Valerie's 23rd birthday. I asked her what she would like me to make for her. She  said, she wanted to help me try and make my moms Pastizzi to keep the family tradition going. I got the recipe from my sister and did a test run. We will need to  adjust a few things next week.

1. salt and pepper they were bland.

2 The shaping needs lots of work

The Puff pastry ( The hardest part) I was pleased with, It was light and flaky. I think Valerie will have her birthday wish come true!
