We seem to have a lot in common, lol.

My Grandma gave me my 1st interest in baking. She was the baker for the local school (grades K-12) and boarded the single teachers in her small town. Loved it when she could come visit us...we would come home from school to find the kitchen counters covered with homemade doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and kolaches! My aunt put together a book of Grandma's recipes but I can't follow them as it's all a "pinch of this" and a "spoon of that".

For the past year since the hubster & I have been building our little farm, I've really gotten trying to master yeast breads. So far I have learned to make a rustic Italian bread (that's what is rising in the kitchen right now), Kaiser rolls, and omg the most delicious cinnamon rolls. I keep trying others but they certainly aren't "mastered" yet (rye bread, soft pretzels, bagels, sourdough).

Grit sends me a regular emailed newsletter and I enjoy reading that. Would love to see your 5-ingrediant bread recipe! Curious about the stuffed breads you mention, what do you stuff them with?

If you want the rustic Italian (very simple) recipe or the cinnamon roll one let me know and I'll be glad to share.

So glad to find a fellow baker!

Yes!! My grandma too!! Pinch of this or that or "I just know how much"

I so miss her!! I figured a lot out of many recipes but a few are no go.

I made my own secret family sweet roll dough...it's fabulous

I'd like to master sourdough stater and bread

Welcome! You and I are in the same boat. I learned a lot from my mother, but I mostly learned from my mothers father who was a master chef.

I actually have a family secret recipe that I got from my grandfather also. I’m not willing to share it.

@ronott1 is our sourdough expert, so you can message him if you have questions about sourdough.

Welcome to the bakers thread!

I'm a big fan of sourdough and no-knead bread. The flavors benefit so much from a slow rising dough. But yesterday I was out of bread before I knew it and needed some for dinner in a hurry. This recipe much to my surprise, actually worked well and in fact was ready in an hour with the use of a stand mixer. So I thought that I would share it.
