Any Home Bakers Here?

I forget if I mentioned this on this thread, or a different one about feeding and nutrition and egg yolk color, but I found that article I couldn’t remember before about the chef in San Antonio who raises chickens and feeds red peppers to achieve red (ish) yolks..

Those red yolks are kind of startling!

No cracks, good shape.

A perfect loaf, in my opinion.

Nice looking bread!

an Italian bakery here makes cinnamon twist donuts with cannoli filling--$2.50 each!!!(does anyone else think this is expensive?) I think I can make my own---yeast donut dough cut in strips and wrapped around a cannoli shell tube and fried, then filled with cannoli cream. Doing recipe research and will experiment tomorrow with granddaughter-my donut taster/assistant

There are several Italian Pastry Shops around our area. AND that is the going price for most of their
filled tasty treats. AND some are $3.75 fancy. People have a SPECIAL TREAT and they do not mind
the price. They ENJOY. Aria

@ronott1 I sent you a pm as well. I am going to be brave and try the Sourdough Path, lol. I am about to be a semi-Empty Nester so hopefully can nurture a starter. Hands can no longer knead without great pain ... Sourdough just makes sense! Send instructions though, I am a little scared of killing it out of ignorance! Thanks!

My hands are pretty worn out and Sourdough is very easy for me. Glad to hear you’re going to give it a whirl!
If you have time, watch you tube videos on handling and shaping the dough. There are techniques you just have to watch someone do to be very successful at. There are tons of tutorials, so don’t get overwhelmed. But you’ll need to know how to handle a wetter stickier dough than what we’re used to. At least for me, I tend to bog down overthinking things.
