The Saasafras Baker worked fine. Here is the photo requested of the baker and bread baked in it: French Sourdough BreadView attachment 1980001

Great looking bread!

Oh yeah it definately does not loose its stuff over time, the brown edges though are too brittle to reuse and we trim those. We just hate creating excess garbage it is the German Gene DW has imposed on the household!

For frozen pizza we can do 5-7x on one piece.

I wish I could reuse it when I make cookies. I find it makes the bottom of the cookie brown too much if I use parchment twice. Have to change it out with each batch.

The 2019 cookie bake begins today in this house. After making all those Creme de Menthe brownies for the lunch club, I find I will be making a lot less cookies this year. Probably 60-70 dozen. Hope to have them done by Monday for shipping.

Pictures coming soon!

60-70 dozen is less?

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work! Looking forward to seeing pictures!

Hi all

It was too chilly for yard work earlier so I decided to make bread for sandwiches this morning. To fill the time while it's rising I baked some buttermilk donuts with blueberries and ate one while it was still warm. Pretty good and not too sweet.

We have the wild blackberry here but love marion blackberry jam they are smaller we do have two separate styles of blackberry here not certain how they are different but for size

Yes growing wild we have the little dewberries that I believe are native and the big giant obnoxious Himalayas, which have big sweet berries but they lack zip. The Cascades are larger than the little ones with a similar taste but with a nice acidity? maybe that make them really snap in jam or pies.

I think I have a Solution to the Sassafras Bread Baker....LINE IT
with parchment paper. No mess cleanup. Will try. Aria

Parchment paper works well up to temps of about 450F. Over that and the paper will burn.

What kind are you making BC? I'm going to make chocolate next and freeze them for when the kids are here.
