  • Rosemary Sourdough Dinner Rolls

    Makes about 24 rolls. I’ve been maintaining my sourdough culture for about 2 years now, and I just love the thing.  I had always been hesitant to maintain a culture because of how much “work” I assumed it would be…regular feedings, complex calculations.  It turns out that sourdough is FAR less picky than its reputation…

  • How to Make the BEST Loaf of Bread on Planet Earth

    Tough title to live up to, right?  But I was literally stunned out of my mind when I tasted this bread the first time, and each time I’ve baked it since, it seems to get better.  This bread makes people scream.  Literally. What you are about to read is very, very long.  After all, if…

    Bread.  It can be a problem with dinner, because sometimes you just don’t have 4-5 hours to prep contemporary yeast bread or roll recipes.  You all know that I prefer to use long, slow fermentations with my yeast breads to produce incredible flavor and crust.  But that requires me to start the bread the day…
