I've made these flour tortillas for the past year or so...and with the approach of fall, and things beginning to slow a bit, I'm on a mission to find my "perfect" version.....take a look and give me your ideas....Thanks!

As I was feeding my starter (Ralph), rather than discarding I fed the discard and used it to make my first sourdough cinnamon rolls. I'm up to my ears with sourdough pancake mix and just couldn't bear to flush half of Ralph. I happened on the following recipe in COOKS.COM and with only very minor adjustments, I made the cinnamon rolls shown below.

My last rye[url=http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/19306/variations-breads-hamelman-and-macguire] experiment [/url]involved a variation on Hamelman's 66% rye sourdough found in Bread. The variation was the inclusion of a boiling rye soaker (brühstück) and toasted sunflower seeds. I was pleased with the result, especially the sweetness imparted by the soaker.

8:30 AM - a full hall to listen to Ciril Hitz talk about laminated pastries and brioche.
Even the professional's heads were reeling with the amount of information Mr. Hitz can pack into a lecture. We were given a CD with links to Youtube instead of the traditional paper sheets. There was just that much material...

After the first failed attempt at croissant making, it caused me a long hesitation before attempting it second time around. It also made me thinking that croissant was probably just too hard to make and I should leave them to the professional. However, some recent TFL posts kind of encourage me into believing that I can also do it.
So, here goes my second attempt.
I'm probably trying to learn too much too fast. And my brain is not as absorbent as it once was. But surrounded by the centuries--maybe millenia--of collective knowledge on TFL, I want to both catch up and enjoy the learning process. I know I'm doing the latter.
