I should start making my moravian cookies. I always loved giving those as gifts.

Now I have never heard of them, can you tell us more about them? I am not a gingerbread loving person but one year Noni's put out some ginger flavored biscotti at Sam's Club. They were awesome so I am going to try to make some since they are not generally available to the public anymore. I contacted the organic vanilla bean company with questions but so far have only received a form response. I will let you know what I find out if anything.
 
Here's a recipe I found online to get you an idea, or get your started I should say...

My recipe makes over 700 cookies and it a pain in the booty to do. I have to let the dough sit over night of the flavors aren't just right. Mine I like to say is similar to the Moravian Cookie Shop that resides in Winston Salem, NC. Kills me they don't have a website! But here's a shop close to them who does some too: http://www.deweys.com/
 
Getting ready to make some English Muffin bread for the first time. I hope they turn out, I always get nervous when I try a new recipe.

Sure! It isn't done yet so I can't say if its any good or not.

English muffin bread

2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
2 TBSP cornmeal
6 cups bread flour
2 packs active dry yeast
1 TBSP sugar
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

1. Warm the milk and water in a saucepan until very warm (125 degrees) Lightly grease two 8 by 4 loaf pans and sprinkle with 1 TBSP cornmeal per pan.
2. In a large bowl mix together 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and soda. Stir milk into flour mixture, beat well. Stir in remaining flour 1 cup at a time, until a stiff dough is formed. Spoon batter in prepared pans (yeah right! It is super stiff, I put it on a floured board and cut in in half and molded into 2 loaves.) Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes.
3. Bake in 400 degree preheated oven about 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately and cool.

Once its done I will let you know how it turned out!
 
The english muffin bread is awesome! I will never again buy english muffins. I have had 3 pieces already. I guess I know what I'm having for dinner.
