Any Home Bakers Here?

I will try this! Interesting that the honey isn't put in on the first step to get the yeast going. I guess it is eating the flour like sourdough starter does. Thus the "sponge method"?

You got me. I'm no scientist, I just do what I'm told, lol.

ROSEMARY FOCACCIA BREAD​

Made this recipe today with success, didn't have time for a photo because it was GONE! Ate it paired with homemade chicken noodle soup. I had to knead by hand and it stayed slightly sticky so I had a hard time shaping the dough but it did stay slightly rounded. It was thicker than the 1/2 inch suggested but I left it in the oven a bit longer (about 5 to 10 min may do the trick) and it was thoroughly baked. Honestly, I would omit the rosemary to save on materials cost (considering my rosemary plant I got this year ended up dying on me sadly) and it would still taste so yummy!

I will say...I do have a green thumb and I have NEVER been able to keep my Rosemary Plant over the Winter. ???? There must be something I am NOT doing correct. And I love it. Get the dry.

I'm going to try a new cake recipe. Coffee coffee cake. It's a coffee, chocolate, and hazelnut. I'll upload a picture with the results. Though, I do not have a flute pan.. (shock) any suggestions for alternatives?
