Any Home Bakers Here?

They are different. I like not having to reboot my Mac every day or two which seems common with Windows based computers.


I like plan B, you want to know how the changes affect the original bread product before messing with it.

Interesting discussion with the lady that sells EXCELLENT sourdough bread (round loaves very similar to the Champlain bread found on the recipe spreadsheet) at the Farmer's Market. I'm sure some of you know this (I did not) but spelt and rye are lower gluten and affect the volume of a loaf.

Also spelt makes the bread a bit more moist. No spelt in the loaves right now because she said the "berries" have been coming 10% still with the hulls on. Takes too much time to pick them all out before grinding plus the cost of throwing 10% of the product to the chickens.

I am Learning to navigate my Apple. I prefer it already. Microsoft
always messed up my computer every time they updated. And
they were ALWAYS updating. It will take some time to make
the Change...but so far I prefer Apple.

Ooh! Baking thread on BYC?! I love it! Still haven't revived my sourdough, going to start today. I like to bake high hydration sourdough loaves, english muffins, focaccia, fudgy and chewy brownies, and many types of cookies

to the bakers thread.

Are you having fun yet...with your new DELL? I am having fun

too old to go from Microsoft...NO I made it.

It is odd! I have never had fuss on the yogurt. I have had it go bad but more like over sour milk. Were did you get the yogurt start?

It's the Bulgarian starter that you turned me on to. I ordered it online. It sure tastes GOOD!
