What are you baking now?

Fresh ground whole wheat buns right out of the oven.

Add a little goat cheese and preserves for a night time snack!

I just pulled my first ever loaves of sourdough bread from the oven. A lady I work with brought me a starter earlier this week. My house smells so great this morning! I could get used to this.

DEAL!!

Rye Bread Makes 3 loaves on flat surface or 2 in bread pans

3 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 Tbsp yeast
1 1/2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp caraway seeds, plus more for sprinkling
1 cup rye flour
5 1/2 cups all purpose flour
cornmeal for sprinkling
cornstarch for cornstarch wash

1. Mix the water, yeast, salt and caraway seeds in a large bowl. mix in the remaning dry ingredients without kneading. cover with a wet towel and allow to rise. This can take 2 or more hours.

2. Dust the surface of the dough with flour and divide into how many loaves you're making. Dust the piece with more flour and quickly shape it into a ball. elongate the ball into an oval-shaped loaf. allow it to rest and rise on a cornmeal covered surface (pizza peel if you’re going to transfer to a baking stone or a baking sheet if you’re baking right on the baking sheet)or place in a cornmeal floured bread pan and let it rise to the height you desire. Personally, I put it in a bread pan because we like the bread tall enough for Reuben sandwiches.

3. Preheat the oven to 450 F . Heat the baking stone up with the oven if you are using one. If you're using bread pans, place a cookie sheet under it.

4. Make a cornstarch wash by combining 1/2 tsp cornstartch with a small amount of water to form a paste. add 1/2 cup water, whisk and microwave for about 60 seconds. Brush the top of the loaf with the cornstarch wash and then sprinkle on caraway seeds. You can slash deep parallel cuts across the loaf using a serrated bread knife but it is not necessary.

5. Bake for 30 minutes. As you put the bread in the oven to bake, pour 1 cup of hot tap water into the cookie sheet and quickly close the oven door. allow to cool before slicing or eating.

(plain) mix, remaining ingredients and spices. Rub mixture into all sides of brisket. Place brisket in plastic bag and tie end securely. Refrigerate and allow 5 days curing per inch of meat thickness.
Cooking
Place brisket in Dutch oven. Cover with water. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer until tender, about 3-4 hours.
I add 3 tbsp pickling spice as well and instead of powdered bay leaves I use 6 or 8 large bay leaves that I just crumble up finely.
Turn the brisket over at least once a day
