I get the feeling that dinner rolls are one of those things that don't come out of the oven very often. We all love them. There's something about the soft melt-in-your-mouth inside, the buttery outside... it's nearly impossible to resist a freshly made dinner roll.

I get a kick out of trying new types of flours and grains in my bread baking. I frequently shop on-line at King Arthur Flour and like to try new and different products when I can. I've read many recipes on The Fresh Loaf using soakers and have tried a few recipes from Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Bread book with mixed results. I decided the other day to try my own formula using
This fancy French named bread is really a Rustic Country San Francisco Sourdough. It originally started out as a Glenn Snyder Country SD bread minus the rustic and the sweetbird, that she is, took the recipe and tweaked it some and came up with the most amazing crust on a bread I have ever seen. I just had to try my hand at it and converted it further to more my liking by; using a rye sour starter, grinding my own WW and rye, increasing the rye to equal the WW, reducing the AP accordingly and then adding 50 g of whole WW and rye berries that were

Hello,
These are two breads I've wanted to bake, for quite awhile. Really glad now that I have, as both of these breads are so delicious, each in their own way! With thanks to Shiao-Ping and Mr. Leader for their lovely recipes :^)

So this year my son turned 10, and he requested a cake that was all sorts of "half-and-half".
Half of his cake, he wanted "hockey" themed. The other half, he wanted "warrior cat" themed. (He's been reading a series of books about fighting cats)
And he wanted strawberry AND chocolate cake as well.
