Got my bake on today!!! FTW!!!
A few months ago, NinjaRaf posted a thread about his foray into baking and I was inspired!

Made a batch of Finnish coffee cake (aka Pulla Bread) from my Grandmother's recipe. 4 HOURS OF WORK!!!!
My Grandmother was a better man than I'll ever be!!!

Looking good Sweet Cakes!

NFA in 3......2........1...........

Shit looks tasty

looks awesome.... I'm not much of a baker, I mostly make focaccia which is easy enough but have done simple shit like burger buns and sandwich bread before.... can't say it was worth my time lol..... I love focaccia though, so not plans to stop making that any time soon

That's impressive! The only thing that gets baked in my house is me

Nice

Awesome. I've been baking up a storm the past few weeks. Have a rustic bread recipe that's pretty good. Started a sourdough starter last week and put together a dough Friday night, baked it Saturday:



Tons of work, but so freaking good.

Using cast-off from the starter I've also made biscuits (buttermilk recipe with starter instead of buttermilk) and sourdough buns, that are essentially little loaves of sourdough bread.

Supposedly sourdough starter makes an amazing tempura batter for shrimp, so I've got that on the grocery list for this week. Yum.

Thought this thread was about weed. Am disappoint.

needs garlic !

I thought carbs and starches were out these days?

Hey, me too. I think about how good carbs and starches are.



Messican 'za pre-toppings. Refried bean/salsa base, taco meat, cheese. Topped after with black olives, lettuce, tomato, crushed doritos, sour cream and more salsa.

Been doing a sourdough boule every week for the past couple weeks. Made 8 pizzas from scratch for the fam this weekend.

I really enjoy baking.

My wife's been baking for friends and family, so I've been eating a fucking lot of ginger cookies and chocolate cake (FIL birthday).

I read this thread about getting your bake on while I was getting my bake on.

Nice looking bread.

Well, I just went all in. Ordered out a Banneton bread proofing basket with liner, a good wood handled lame (bread scoring knife) and a bread cutting knife that's rated best by America's Test Kitchen.

Gonna have sourdough coming out of my ears here shortly.

I did run across an interesting sourdough cookie recipe over the weekend. I may be trying that in the next few days here. Even though right now I've still got part of a loaf, half a dozen sourdough rolls and ten sourdough biscuits sitting at home. I just keep finding ways to use my starter rather than throw out the cast-offs. Maybe I'll just start putting my baked goods out by the street with a "take some, please" sign?

Mmmmm.

I've got a sourdough scones recipe I've been sitting on that may get busted out this week. I was thinking of making them cinnamon, but cardamom could be an interesting take.

I guess, if you want bread that's not available in stores, there's only one way to get it but, FnA bro... it's way too much work!

Did you know that, before WWII, the British and Germans teamed up to help the Finns fight a Russian invasion during the Winter War of 1938-39?
