Working on 3 Batards that will likely turn into garlic bread.

DH keeps buying bread - we have 1 1/2 loaves now. He saw the shelf almost bare at the store, so he bought more.
I want to bake bread - dang it! With only 2 of us, I won't bake bread unless we are out.

Freeze that store bread and eat the homemade. It tastes so much better than the store stuff.

Good afternoon folks. I was wondering, why do so many recipes call for yeast when the sourdough is a starter?

Jam Filled Pastry
3 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1T yeast 1/4 tsp salt 1 egg 1/3 cup melted
butter 2/3 cup milk....mix and knead together. Cut into 16 pieces.
(use 1 T oil to roll and shape on your board so they won't stick) Roll out
one ball into a small rectangle. On the top side place 1 tsp of jam and
close (seal like a filled cookie). Cut the bottom of the rectangle with a
fancy wheel and roll the filled section to the bottom...keep rolling until
all one and just bend a little to make a horn-like shape. Brush with milk
Bake 350 oven 15 minutes. Light Golden. Remove cool just a bit and
and sprinkle with confectionery sugar.View attachment 2062019

I think for many years sourdough kinda fell out of favor for the instant use of yeast

Sour dough takes alot longer to rise than yeast. Plus you have to keep it and feed it and stir it and all that hard to do stuff.

Actually, lately I have been finding it hard to just remember that I have a sour dough starter, lol.
