I used to nuke thinly sliced potatoes in the microwave to make oil free chips. It is beneficial to use a non-stick spray on the microwave safe plate.

I will have to try that next time. These ones were a little oily.

Make sure the slices are separated or they will permanently be stuck together.

Understood, thank you.

They look very tasty!

They're AWFUL! Not nearly enough salt! I put in enough for 5 loaves. But it's been very humid. By the time I kneaded in enough flour to make a good, non-sticky dough, it came out to six one-lb. loaves. They're horrible lol! Maybe the chickens will eat them!

In the winter, my jar of sourdough starter fell out of the fridge and shattered. I started a new starter, and one day I pulled it out to feed and start some bread dough, but it had a pinkish-orangeish hue to it. So I dumped it. It took me a few weeks to get around to starting another starter, but I believe it is finally ready to be fed and put in the fridge.

All the discard has had me making crackers, pancakes, and biscuits (no pictures, sadly). Yesterday morning, I made biscuits. We have a patch of wild strawberries in our yard, and I picked about 3 oz yesterday. I also had heavy whipping cream, so made whipped cream. My dessert last night was strawberry shortcake (crumbled biscuit, strawberries, whipped cream), and it was DELICIOUS!

I use one tsp of salt per cup of water, and a cup of water per loaf of bread.

Yes, I use a cup of water per loaf as well. But I still ended up with six loaves. I'll keep the salt/ water ratio in mind though, thanks!

I take it you leave the tops on the strawberries and eat those too?
