A British baker who lives and works in Mexico City criticized Mexican bread, setting off a shit storm
Chinese bread has a lot in common with Mexican bread (they probably share the same colonial roots) and I am tired of European bread colonialism.
I don’t talk shit about sourdough (well I do but only in safe spaces)
1. Not everyone likes dense and crusty bread
2. Dense and crusty bread is not the only bread
3. European baking is not the only baking
4. Bread occupies a different place in other food cultures (we don’t eat them as a main, we eat them as a snack)
Gluten-free bakers:
I have an infusion appointment for Christmas Eve Eve (Dec 23rd) and I want to bake special treats for the staff. I have several 1 to 1 flour blends ready, and at least one recipe that uses oat bran instead of flour.
My question is this: do you have any gluten-free Holiday treat recipes (with no tree nuts, peanuts, pineapple, soy [like silken tofu] avocado [oil] or banana) that you love, that come out great, despite being gluten-free? I apologize for the narrow allergy parameters.
I know roll out sugar cookies and mini pie dough come out fine, with enough butter. I usually use unsalted butter, but I wonder if I need extra leavening, and which type would be the most flavor-neutral. I'd like to experiment with natural sweeteners, too, like maybe honey or real maple syrup. I usually make my own fruit fillings for the mini pies, too.
I have plans for mini cheesecakes and choc bark.
I'm even willing to try my hand at candy-making, and I already know how to make ganache, crème Anglaise, and meringue topping, but I've not made cream fillings.
Pinned to help me find the responses. #GlutenFree #Baking #Cookies
This is my third attempt at bagels. Still getting the hang of it Added an egg wash (so not vegan) and tried various toppings (sesame seed, salt, cheese) so we’ll see how it goes.
it's birthday/easter season, which of course means I get to bake a cake! This is lemon and apricot cake and it smells divine, can't wait to taste it!
🇬🇧 I watched a bit of the anti-immigrant march in London Sunday, led by fascist, virulent anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson. More than 100,000 protesters and counter-protesters showed up.
Amid all the racist hate, one counter-protest group displayed a large screen on a van with the message, "Immigrants Make Britain Fabulous" playing on repeat. Well done!
With that in mind...
This morning I watched Zimbabwean-British immigrant Leonel Maxlhaieie aka "Leo The Baker" prepare loaves, croissants and other baked goods for a popular pop-up in Ticehurst Saturday—a fine example an immigrant "Making Britain Fabulous!" ✊

"'It was very very good': #Ötzi the Iceman's body is covered in ancient #yeast — and scientists just used it to make a #sourdough
A new study cultivated four strains of cold-adapted yeasts that had colonized Ötzi's body shortly after his death 5,300 years ago in the #Alps."
We are having a really good day.
My husband has decided to take a break from deck demolition. Thank goodness.
Summer had a lovely swimming adventure.
Her groomer said she was the best good girl for her spa appointment.
I am baking which is one of my favorite things to do.
A hint from a friend who said that she missed my cinnamon rolls. A husband who said oooh that sounds good was enough to get me started.
A dozen rolls will need to rise one more time before the oven.
Here's six of them right before they get covered and perched on the dashboard of the truck in the sun. The warmest spot for rising.
I wish I could share with all of you.

At first, Snoèl thought the matching approns Erazem got them last year would be a waste. But eventually, it turned out quite useful when Emmi decided she wanted to try baking.

I was going to bake a berry pie yesterday but it didn't happen. Some days it feels like only so much fun is allowed and I used mine on Summer's morning adventure.
As a result I ended up with thawed berries in the fridge and a husband who doesn't think he feels well enough to help me eat a pie.
What to do?
Since the grandkids have a recent hankering for cobblers I cobbled up the berries.
Smells really good.
I hope they like it.

In between lounging and watching a movie with Summer and her pal I baked banana walnut bread mostly for the freezer.
I served warm bread with salted butter and raspberry jam for a snack.
My husband has gained four pounds now.
All this baking is working exactly as intended.

My husband asked if he could put in an order.
I said sure thinking he wanted me to make him a milkshake.
He actually wanted to request an apple pie for breakfasts and snacks for the next couple of days.
So while I finish up the laundry I am baking.
Will be an easy meal choice while we are eating on paper plates with no running water.
I decided to top it with a dahlia.

Summer and I are trying to help her pal find his appetite. Lost temporarily while he was sick and in the hospital.
So if he says something sounds good it might miraculously appear.
He calls these plain muffins. They are blueberry muffins without the blueberries. Small and a perfect compliment to our very freshly cooked raspberry jam. The same exact berries he helped to harvest from our very own berry patch. We are rewarded for our efforts with a jam that tastes like real fruit and better than store bought.
That's a fact.
There is something special about eating food that you grew from scratch.
He started out with two muffins and came back for seconds.
We are making slow but steady progress towards getting him back to fighting weight.

I have to stack cookies as they cool because I don't have enough wire racks.
My husband worries that if there was an earthquake they will topple, hit the floor, and therefore be wasted.
Because he is a person of impeccable character and good intentions he keeps walking by to save another cookie from possible calamity.
I don't know what I did to deserve such a partner.
This level of dedication must be rare, right?
The cookies are actually destined to be crumbled up and folded into the homemade ice cream that will be dessert for tomorrow's family lunch event.
I figure it's an event if it is planned in advance. Otherwise it would just be hanging out with family.
Either way there will be good food, fabulous fresh fruit, and sweet treats.

It turns out that one of the deck builders doesn't bake. No one at his house is interested in cooking. Now I have a new family to add to my bake them stuff list.
His favorite dessert is apple pie.
I was able to quick bake one before they finished for the day.
It went from the oven to my fancy cardboard pear box turned pie carrier right in to his hands
It made his truck smell very pie like for the drive home.
Tomorrow they finish our deck.
I think Summer will miss them when they go.

Warm and windy outside.
Summer and I weeded the raspberry patch.
I had to send her back to the house to fetch a hat. It was too sunny to be without.
She picked a Detroit Tigers hat this time.
After we watered the now weedless berry bushes we came inside to hide in the cool shade.
Next on my list was to use up some apples that were slightly past their prime.
I can relate to the past your prime part.
I told my husband that we would have huge fresh salads for dinner with apple pie for dessert.
The green stuff I bought at the farmer's market will make fabulous salads.
I hope the pie is good too.
