oliver2-44 8,852 #1 Posted July 20, 2020 My wife's is a good cook and loves to bakes. For the last three months my wife's "shelter at home" project has been learning to make Sour Dough bread. I've toughed it out and eaten several loafs that didn't rise very much, but in the end it's been worth it! She's finally got it down and this is probable her best loaf yet and probable the firth excellent one in a row. Interestingly there are a lot of steps that have to be done and the timing of those steps is critical....Its far different that making regular yeast bread. she bakes them in an open top cast iron dutch oven, which gives then the round pillow top shape With her determination and and working through the details I should have her overhauling a bunch of Kohler engines for me next. Did I say she loves to Bake! It's great with some honey flavored butter. 7 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife went no carbs and lost 900 lbs... well maybe not that much but alot! I joke with her how can you keep your engine running with no carb?!?!? Almond flour pizza crust doesn't quite cut it for me! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 8,852 #10 Posted February 4, 2021 My wife has been baking a loaf of regular Sour Dough and a loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Sour Dough Bread every 2-3 days. She loves giving it to all the neighbors around us. I think the baking is her stress relief. This Cinnamon Raisin lightly toasted is great for breakfast! She's also made pizza with sour dough.
