Welcome to Litsy!

There‘s been plenty of preserving and a decent amount of baking in my home recently, but I haven‘t been making any new cookbook recipes. So, today I‘m sharing this year‘s final batch of candied jalapeños, a few jars of tomato sauce, and these cinnamon rolls even if they are online recipes. Since the sourdough cinnamon rolls are from the Clever Carrot blog, I‘m tagging Emilie Raffa‘s cookbook.

I‘ve really been enjoying trying more recipes from this cookbook since I got a print copy. Yesterday, I made brioche rolls modified by adding some instant yeast to speed up the process, but I‘ll be making them again as pure sourdough. Then, we used them as sandwich rolls for the smoked BBQ beef made by my brother-in-law & nephew for supper. Absolutely delicious!

This is definitely my favorite sourdough cookbook. I mixed up the dough for these overnight baguette twists yesterday afternoon, shaped them early this morning, and baked them before leaving for church. The recipe is simple and delicious!

Yesterday I made the jalapeño cheddar sourdough from the tagged cookbook. I shaped one larger loaf and a few of these small rolls as well. The combination made for an amazing sausage and egg breakfast sandwich along with the chipotle mayo I made as well.

I‘ve seen several recipes for chocolate #sourdough and always thought it sounded strange, yet it also made me curious as well. With another snow day yesterday, I decided to try the chocolate focaccia in this #cookbook. The recipe said to bake in a large cast iron skillet. I made a large and small, but I think it would look more focaccia like if I‘d made two large. It‘s perfect with a smear of Nutella and a morning cup of coffee.

Most of the time I use recipes from family & friends or find new recipes online. After having a #sourdough starter for over 25 years, I often adapt bread recipes myself. However, once in a while I still appreciate a #cookbook and recently took some time to read through this one. I‘ve made the Soft Honey Whole Wheat and the Sunday Morning Bagels (this morning), and both recipes turned out wonderfully. I‘ll be trying more of the recipes.

This is my newest obsession. All because I read Sourdough by Robin Sloan last year! Today‘s recipe: bagels!

I‘ve got three books in process right now and the characters of each of them are rubbing me the wrong way. Bread never rubs me the wrong way, although it sure does skew that number on my scale 😱 (this is chocolate chip sourdough)

When a work of fiction gets into your head and takes over... #becauseofsourdough
