That one was a hit around here, hope it is for your office crew as well!

I'm going to use eggnog in the glaze, that was a great idea!

X 2. I had to make bread a few times to get a feel for it. @ValerieJ practice and patience will definitely help.
Your pumpkin pound cake is on my list to try. I'm taking it to an office potluck in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to try it!

I actually "practiced" making bread for about 3 years. LOL I can make a fluffy loaf if I use yeast and a little sugar, but when it comes to sour dough, it just doesn't rise properly. So, I'll watch the videos and read a bunch of posts and then give it another go. Oh, I actually took a class in it once too.

Valerie, I baked bread for years...NEVER ATTEMPTED SOURDOUGH
....I will tell you from experience...all on this thread guided me through. And NOW...I CAN make Sourdough Bread. I just mixed
a no knead 3 hour rise bread and will bake it in my Old Cast Iron
Dutch Oven. Aria

I isn't hard really just do not overwork the dough and have the house 68
when do you want to get the sourdough starter I keep it in Mason jar with a coffee filter on it

That is probably my problem. I'm trying to get the same elasticity as I do with the sweet bread.

I started the sponge for the cajun three pepper boulle from bread topia this morning. It will be ready to shape into the boulle tomorrow morning.

I am really looking forward to it!

This is the 3 hour rise bread ...Baked in my Antique Dutch Oven
Do NOT think I like this...the Cast Iron Dutch Oven is too heavy and when it is HOT....I think I will try this recipe again and bake it
in my Emile
