I had thought that, when I retired, I would tackle more complex breads and pastries. So far, my inclinations have been otherwise. I have been working on simpler recipes that can produce good breads with lesser time demands. Go figure.
I stumbled on an unfamiliar flour at a Wholefoods before Thanksgiving: One Degree Organic Foods (ODOF) Sprouted Whole Wheat Flour (Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with ODOF and am just a new and satisfied customer). I was intrigued by the "sprouted" part, impressed with the packaging and bought a 5#
and they didn't murmur a word!!

Those naughty greedyboys LOVE the Florentine rosemary and raisin buns....

Think its a definite!!
This is my first go with Maggie Glezer's Pandoro (from Artisan Baking), and all things considered I'm quite pleased with it. There are two amazing things about this bread. The first is how something with that much sugar and butter can be so light and ethereal- I'm stunned by the texture. The second is the balance of flavors. It doesn't come across as too eggy, it doesn't taste only of butter or vanilla, and it isn't obviously a sourdough.
Got it right, at last!
Berliner Landbrot -
70% Dove's Farm light rye
30% Bacheldre Organic Stoneground Strong White Flour
During his apprenticeship the baker Tom Roetz investigated the behaviour of machine-prepared rye preferments vs hand-prepared rye preferments using a standard "Berliner Landbrot" formula.
My version of "Berliner Landbrot" is adapted from his paper, which is available online:
SILENT!! while you eat these gorgeous doughnuts!!

As you can imagine, these go down with the greedyboys a real TREAT!!
I am not sure though if its the doughnuts or the sugar that holds the most attraction ….

This chacon is a tribute to Eric Hanner. His gifts to the world were many and his passion for balking was great. His fine character attributes included his generosity that made him willing to help and teach others what he knew. Eric’s legacies are many and this bake commemorates them. He was a giant and this chacon is especially large to recognize his largess.
