What are you baking now?

[jennh]

I am wondering about the English Muffin bread. This is the 2nd time I have made it, and it is the same both times. It is not very high. I'd say 3-4 inches high. Is everyone else's that way too? I was thinking maybe I'm making the milk/water mixture is too hot? I heat it to 125 deg. with a food thermometer. Also I heat it in the microwave. Would that do anything to the yeast, or is this a normal rise?

Shocker... more biscotti!

Then just to mix stuff up, I'm going to make some cranberry bread tonight for dessert since we're having company.

OR Jen, you could come over and just bring that caramel corn with ya!?

Not sure what might be happening. Here is a recipe that I use. Only thing I can think of is may be your yeast is out of date - but I highly doubt that with you since you are such a good cook and know these things.

I haven't had any problems, my loaves get bigger than that. I have no idea how warm I get my milk/water, I don't have a thermometer. Sorry I'm not very helpful.

Maybe that is too hot...I only go to 115 or so with yeast...Terri O

ETA: Forgot...today I am making broccoli cornbread from the recipe section!

Christmas Cookie Night at our house.... so lots of bakin going on tonight

Did the broccoli corn bread. It was OK. I think I like the one where you add creamed and whole kernel corn better. I also made the caramel corn from the good wife's blog--OMG it is delicious! I will definitely be making it again and again! Thanks! Terri O
