Regular bakes
I can't believe it has been nearly a month since I've posted. This time of year things get so busy, don't they? Our youngest also has a birthday between Thanksgiving in the States and Christmas, so it seems like we have about a month solid of travels, dinners and parties to attend, as well as all the school and community activities. It certainly keeps you on your toes.
I have been baking though. Mostly just standards like the white sourdough loaves above or the Struan bread below.
Another sourdough I did with about 20% whole wheat. My starter was really sluggish, perhaps because of the cold, but in the end it really erupted in the oven.
I haven't had a chance to do any holiday baking yet, which is unfortunate because there isn't a lot of time left!

Hi Floyd,
Hope you've been enjoying working with that mixer, and the breads look great.
Happy holidays - and best wishes for your holiday baking (hope your schedule allows some time to bake some goodies!).

Yeah, your new mixer has been busy producing those lovely loaves, especially struan!
I appreciate how challenging it can be to look after family, work, and a really active website during holidays. May you have ample time to bake for the holidays, Floyd! and may your son have a happy birthday.
are just getting you warmed up for the holiday baking with only 7 days left - Santa, not to mention the young ones too, are expecting a warm assortment of cookies and cold milk on Christmas Eve!
All the bread looks great Floyd even with a sluggish starter!
Happy Holiday Baking!
Nice looking bakes Floyd.
Happy Holidays
Ian
