Just Baking

I am back again!  I apologize for anyone that was reading any of my stuff and noticed I haven’t been posting.

To be frank, it’s been just too hot to bake in the house!  So what I’m writing about today is the anticipation of baking weather… Autumn!

The smells of yeasty dough, baking bread, melty butter on bread too hot to eat… That’s all part of the autumn season to me.  I’m anticipating some great bread this year, after all I learned last year, when I first started baking.  I have a Hearthkit in place in the oven, and my oven window, after a $225 replacement from cracking the glass, is ready to go.

Here’s what I’ll be doing differently this year:

More types of bread, including a good, dark, sweet pumpernickel and a miche or two

• Stuffed breads
• Cinnamon rolls
• No-knead bread
• More cinnamon rolls
• A brioche or two
• At least one apple pie

If you have anything you’d like a novice like me to try, let me know.  I’m up for about anything, as long as there’s no coconut in it!
