Ron The is The Best Sourdough Bread I made and posted Photo...
As you know I have been working to improve my Sourdough Journey.
4.24.2020 (At this time I could NOT find Bread Flour and made this recipe:
2 Loaves 9 x 5 tins: 6 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour 1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil 2 tsp salt 1 teaspoon yeast 1 cup sourdough
starter 2 3/4 cups very warm water Mix by hands or in a mixer. I use
a mixer. Place 3 cups of AP Flour and all other ingredients in a mixer
mix and let it rest 10 minutes. After 10 minutes add 3 more cups of flour.
(Always add the last 3 cups little at a time). Remember: If too dry add
more water...if too wet add more flour) Knead. Place in a greased bowl
for 2 - 4 hours to rise. When double divide dough in 1/2 and shape into
loaves. 9 x 5 tins. Rise top of tin. 1-2hoursView attachment 2183070 Bake 375 degree oven or 30 minutes.
Brush tops with butter. Another tip: slice bread when cooled upside
down. Aria

Flour is pretty scarce here too, I almost want to buy a bag every time I shop but I'm not baking much because of the heat.

If you want to get out you could come help me paint my kitchen

I would rather bake. And I never paint. Just like I never do windows.
When we built our house ....we used all woods...do not need painting
Have fun. Aria

I love the pics you share with all the wood in the background!
I dunno about fun, but I'm looking forward to a change in scenery anyway

@jnicholes Your pizzas look great!
Are you settled in the new house yet? out of the short term rental in Boise, right?

Would you please post the recipe for the General Tso's chicken that you made a week ago? I have been really hungry for General Tso's since you posted about it and I want to make it for supper this week.

I like things just as they are. We spend 10 years building and many more
planning. We were able to get things they way we wanted. We had to
build piece meal. It WENT SLOW. But sometimes that is a good thing....
you have time to plan and make things the way you want them.View attachment 2183183View attachment 2183183

We picked our house based on necessity rather than desire. Kids near the HS they were attending, needed 3 bedrooms and a yard. I've wanted to paint for a while but never had the time. Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer to job shop because the kids need childcare so now I have time.
