They aren't pretty enough to brag about, but not ugly enough to make fun of. Why even put them on the internet, then?

New World Sourdough: Mallorcas + Baguettesplosion
I put this mallorca recipe in the same category as Artisan Bryan's regular pan de coco, muffuletta rolls, and semitas de yema: their flavor is unlike any traditional American baked good, and I will be making them again.
New World Sourdough: Whole-Grain Pita Bread + Ligurian Focaccia and Discard Pretzels
New World Sourdough is a 2020 cookbook by Bryan Ford. I will not be reproducing Ford’s recipes in my blog. Read his blog, buy his book, support his work. The New World Sourdough whole-grain pita bread recipe is as easy as it looks. The recipe is a standard flour, water, salt, yeast combo. The only … Continue reading New World Sourdough: Whole-Grain Pita Bread + Ligurian Focaccia and Discard Pretzels
New World Sourdough: Choco Pan de Coco + Bagel Lessons
The dough was too dry to effectively shape into balls. As noted above, this recipe adds a lot of dry ingredients to the regular pan de coco recipe without corresponding increases in fat or other liquids. I doubt that using butter instead of coconut oil would have helped. In addition to creating a drier dough, the shaped loaves grew very little while proofing--a problem I've never had with pan de coco.
New World Sourdough: Masa Focaccia + Discard Pretzels (KAF) and Overnight Country Blonde (FWSY)
This weekend wiped me out. I learned, I laughed, I flew, I failed.
New World Sourdough: English Muffins + Bonus Pan de Coco
To the untrained eye, English muffins are mystical. How are they cooked? Why are they so flat? Where do the nooks and crannies come from? Making them myself unmasked the magic but opened my eyes to the joy that is cooking English muffins.
New World Sourdough: Muffaletta Rolls
Our friend Artisan Bryan is from New Orleans, and I’d like to think he’d be proud that he converted this muffuletta-hater into a muffuletta-believer.
New World Sourdough: Cinny Raisin Bagels
I have seen dozens of bread bakers post their bagels online, and I have never been interested in making them myself. I would not have made them if not for this book. Now, knowing they are so simple, delicious, and crowd-pleasing, I will absolutely make bagels again.
New World Sourdough: Sea Salt and Olive Oil Tin Loaf
For this week’s bake I wanted something to share that could be either part of a meal or a solo snack. Bonus points if it could last a few days and was vegan. The sea salt and olive oil tin loaf fit the bill.
In Review: Once Were Brothers
I love The Band. This blog is named after a song by The Band. My username is based on a song by The Band. Fans of The Band feel a little on the outside. The Band’s moment in the spotlight was short and unusual, and they don’t get the fanfare that many of their contemporaries … Continue reading In Review: Once Were Brothers
