Any Home Bakers Here?

A good friend of mine is passing away as we speak. He has a really large family, and I’m gonna be baking them some bread as a gift.

I’m going to make them:

2 white loaves
2 artisan yeast loaves
2 French loaves
1 pullman loaf
1 no knead loaf
1 sourdough loaf

I know, it may seem like a lot of bread, but he has a really large family. Trust me.

Needless to say, tomorrow’s going to be a big bread baking day. Already fed my sourdough starter to prep a loaf to rise overnight. I’ll do the same with a no-knead loaf later.

I’ll be sure to post pictures tomorrow.

WOW...QUITE A BAKE......I BAKED TOO....HA HA

We have that set in the basement. Got a nearly new set at an auction years ago.

I've got my mom's set, and my own set that I bought almost 50 years ago...both same pattern (Old Town Blue).

Either somebody slapped me with flour, or I did it myself on accident. Either way, this is hilarious. I got a handprint there.

My friend I mentioned earlier is pushing up daisies.

Anyway, bread baking is done but I forgot to get a picture. I made eight loaves of bread. The family really appreciated it. I could tell they didn’t wanna talk at the present moment though.

I made cinnamon rolls from a can so really not baking in my view.

I hope your friend had an easy passing.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

This morning I made cinnamon dog treats… which my housemate ate before they cooled. Then I made her scones. Dinner was pizza. Half tomato, onion and green pepper, half onion, pepper, pineapple and black olive under the cheese.

Had time to bake a loaf of white bread & some peanut butter chip chocolate cookies. The cookies tasted like Reese’s peanut butter cups when they were still warm from the oven!

I haven't been here in ages, probably because I rarely bake, but have a question.

Has anyone ever used Arrowroot powder instead of starch for a thickener?

Specifically, I know this isn't baking, but wanted to do something with all of these raspberries. We recently made plum jam with nothing but sugar added. I'd like to try use Stevia or Splenda, and it won't thicken like sugar, so need to add something else.

To my knowledge, I only use this for soups. It makes it less cloudy and takes less to make a thicker soup from broth so I can drop some eggs in. It's not used in much else and starch isn't going to taste good for jam either way with how much you will need.

Oh, but it is! You still have to make sure they don't burn. I'm horrific for burning stuff as I can't focus and run off. Alexa isn't much help either as I tell her to shut up.

True: Hubby asks me what happened to the garlic bread. I ask "Why?" He said it's not burnt.
