The Old Folks Home

[Beer can]

I use this recipe mostly.
Though I double the batch cause the kids will eat it all up before I get a second piece if I don't, and bake it longer cause of the size.
And I no longer pre-heat the Dutch oven, kinda hard to put the dough into it without it deflating some, maybe if I used parchment paper it would be easier. So I just let it rise the second time in the dutch oven and then toss it in. I just use a cast iron one with a dusting of corn flour in the bottom, it doesn't stick and shrinks a little so it's easy to get out.

Not sure why when I post links they have to be so darn long?
There was another recipe for no-knead I was going to try that you make a big batch and put it in the fridge, lop of a chunk of the dough everyday to bake, if I was going to make it multiple days.

@Myrth! I don't think I've had a chance to welcome you to the old folks home. Glad you could join us.

@ronott1, thank you. These days I seem to be better at loosing them than keeping them alive.

@perchie.girl Girl you never do things by half do you? Glad to see you back at 'the home'. And glad you are feeling better.

@Cynthia12, I can almost smell those roses. Simply beautiful. Do they smell like peaches and cream?

Thank you for the welcome!

I have killer ducks.

They killed, disemboweled and then ate the innards of a rat while I was at work today. I do have pictures but

My kitchenaid mixer needs to go to the doctor. The speeds won't adjust now. I'll track down a nearby warranty station for it, even though the warranty is long expired, and they should be able to repair the problem. In the meantime, I may buy a bread machine.

You need the controller switch. It is an easy fix and the part is amazon. Youtube has videos to help. I replaced one on my old kitchenaid

I am about to take out the starter jar to get it ready for making the overnight sponge for tomorrows olive bread! I have had a starter since 1984

I hear that. I have some arthritis too. I do no-knead or low-knead sourdough. Not much work. The starter does the work. It just does it slowly. I mix the dough one day and bake it the next day. I like the sourdough health benefits too.

Hey there welcome to the old folks home... I even have a recipe for making your own starter was so surprised when it actually worked... I do have sourdough from Ron also
