      I'm baking the rest of the pointage en bac dough today, 2 baguettes and 2 epis.

      Found a great video on Banh Mi rolls yesterday, may have to try that recipe, it may be the eggshell-thin crust roll I've been searching for a way to make for 30 years!

        The color is great (again), the epis held shape fairly well but the slashing on the baguettes didn't go so great, won't affect the flavor a lot, though. Not sure if that means the dough was overproofed or underproofed.

          While appearances are a plus, Mike, I'm an advocate of at least it tastes good, so you achieved the most important objective.

          On Sunday, I baked Oatmeal Jam Bars using the last jar of 2022 Blackberry jam. Hey, I'm catching up!

          I also baked Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from dough I made last week.

              Mike, your loaves look great to me!

              I got an email from Southern Living this morning and it had a recipe for blueberry butter swim biscuits. I'm not sure why, but I decided this was the butter swim biscuit recipe I had to try. It's really easy. I used half AP flour and half WWW. I found whole buttermilk at Winn Dixie. But, when I got home, I discovered I only had salted butter in the freezer, so I reduced the salt in the recipe. The only problem I had was that the butter got a little too brown while it was melting in the oven - I chalk that up to the salt. They do have a nice taste, and I have them on a sheet pan in the freezer so I can bag them for occasional treats.
