    It's been awhile since I've been here. I had the worst summer ever. All my chickens caught some respiratory thing that is making its way through North Texas and had to be culled. I tried two different meds, and neither worked. It was awful!! :hit I'm letting the area sit to disinfect until...

    I've been playing with some new flour that is a heritage, hard red wheat, and has 16.5% protein. Love it! 100% sourdough bakes. No commercial yeast. I've also been trying out some different roll recipes. Also playing with gluten-free, making progress. :)

    I made black once, and flavored it with anise for halloween cat cookies for my son's kindergarten class. The kids that did eat them, had black teeth for the rest of the day. :) Pretty! I love that show! I also have the master classes that tell how to make all the challenges.

    Black is a hard one. I always bought black frosting when I needed it.

    Use gel coloring for your color. If you are making it red, get Tasteless Red. I would make a thick glaze if you want to pour it. Powdered sugar, a little butter (or butter flavored Crisco since it doesn't really get that soft at room temp), and a bit of milk. Add the milk a little at time...

    It's a wheat flour starter. Very strong. Lovely flavor. I made the gluten-free one using fruit water (apple) to get it going. I feed it brown rice flour mixed with oat flour, and plain filtered water now. All the rest of my starters were given to me.

    Mine are from all over the world, and one is gluten-free for my customers that want gluten-free bread. Each one is different - flavor, and behavior. I have one that is dried, that I don't use. I don't like it. My favorite one is from Israel.

    I haven't been on here lately. Here are some of my latest bakes. And my very first pullet egg from my cream legbar, Olive. :) Sourdough breads. Two varieties. Sourdough cinnamon raisin bread. I thought I'd try golden raisins this time. I like dark raisins in it better. ;) I made...

    I haven't used it, but I've seen breads baked with it online (fb bread group). I don't remember what the person said about it. The bread looked good though.
