Overnight English Muffin Bread
After a year, my sourdough starter kicked the bucket. It turned orange and purple which indicates a nasty bacteria that could make us sick. I’ve never seen such a thing in my 5 years of having a starter! So I tossed it and re-adjusted my Sourdough English Muffin Bread (you can find that sourdough recipe…
Pizza Pasta

Marble Rye Bread
We enjoy marble rye bread from the store, but we are trying to make all of our own bread. Sometimes we do end up buying bread, but my goal for 2025 is to make all of our own bread at home, from scratch!! Homemade always tastes better and we can better control the ingredients we…
