I bought another Ball Canning book. It looks like it has some good recipes to try and not too many duplicates from the original one I had.

Hubs is going to photograph a truck rodeo for his boss tomorrow so it's going to be a day of grocery shopping and baking for me. Going to make banana bread and regular bread, still thinking about dinner.

Sounds like a NEAT day. What kind of bread will you be making?

And Penny....the 3 loaves of bread you make....are they your favorites? And what recipe? Is it sour dough. I am stuck...and always use the same recipes. It took me a while to perfect them...so I always stay with those Recipes. Am I lazy?

Not Lazy!

Use the same recipe but change up ingredients a bit. Different sweetener, different types of flour and etc.

I use honey, molasses or raw sugar for the sugar and it makes a big difference in the bread

Sounds like my Saturday or Sunday!

I got a new cookbook yesterday, "Pie in the Sky". It's devoted to high altitude baking and looks really good. The woman that wrote it spent several years testing sea-level recipes in different breakdowns of altitudes and the book breaks explains how to adjust ingredients, bake time, etc. by how high up the baker is. Really interesting stuff (now if I can only find the time to try some of her book recipes out).

Thanks for the tip!

I might get that book for my Mom

Bread is a staple in my meals. We like it to be the same great bread all the time. We have one type of store bread that we buy - DH must have store bread for egg salad sandwiches...
I will try a new recipe once in a while, but once I found the one we liked, that is the one I made most of the time.

I make a loaf bread recipe, one or two sourdough recipes most of the time too.

They are very tasty! so no one wants me to change

Thought about making sourdough bread today. I suppose you are right. Not today anymore. But tomorrow is a good possibility.

To make sourdough bread tomorrow, I need to start tonight! Get the starter warmed up and a sponge to rise overight
