Blog posts

This spring, things were going nicely. Fatherhood had settled into me, and I was regularly baking breads and cinnamon rolls, with some breads even getting posted on this blog. In June, I fell off my bike, breaking three bones (right elbow, hand, pinky finger) and whacking my head hard enough on the pavement to give me a concussion and require several stitches. Bread baking and starter maintenance abruptly slowed to a minimum. I even walked a friend through the process of making a bread in my kitchen one weekend so we could have some for a BBQ. 

Here is a nice olive loaf I just did, Taste great and made a nice sandwich, but I could have used more olives. 

Here is the crumb shot of the raisin fennel and pine nut bread that I made yesterday. Nice taste and made a great grilled cheese sandwich. 

Here is a very delicious New York City deli rye bread i made. It has the correct and authentic flavor of a NYC Jewish deli rye bread!

This was a very tasty Cinnamon Walnut Raisin bread i made

Hi all,

This is the top view of my very 1st bread (straight dough ) 

The top of the crust was burnt, but the rest of crust was nice and drank brown.  I think the top of my oven is too hot. 

Don't have the huge oven to switch the position of the Dutch oven. It sits only in one particular position. 

Also,  my hands got slightly burnt even through the mits,  but I guess you have to quick when you handle these hot ovens.
