What are You Baking the Week of April 19, 2020?

I wonder if it's including some Word formatting code that's confusing the anti-spam filter?

I wonder if you can save it to your log, change it to text-only and then do a copy/paste from that? You're the only one this seems to be happening to, which suggest it is something you're doing differently from others.

Kimbob, I've been thinking about the obc a lot lately, and yes, a lifetime. I think it was early 1990s, maybe even late 1980s? I'm using my stay-at-home time these days to clean out and downsize. I'm sorting through a ton of old favorite recipes, and looking through the entire collection of Baking Sheets. What fun! Thinking "remember when a bunch of us bought the same cookbooks and we all made the same recipes...." And I have photos of some of the goodies we made on a thumb drive somewhere around here. That lasted quite a few months! I'm not tossing out too many recipes, though!

I did a basic cheese pizza yesterday with mozzarella and chedder cheese. It was very good.

I was looking for Pain au Chocolat recipes on the Internet today. I remember these as a brioche like bun with a stick of chocolate in the center. Most of the recipes I see are for chocolate croissants, which aren't the same thing.

I don't know if any of you read Anime Fanfiction, but I want to recommend one where the main character finds that he is not a genius baker. His first bread is a dismal flop, and so are the next several attempts. The POV character is a deadly genius ninja from a village that actively trains ninja and sends them on dangerous missions.

KAF has a pain au chocolat recipe, Skeptic. There is even a wholegrain version. They are not croissants. I've baked the first one a couple of times. I have the wholegrain one set aside to try, as I think that I can substitute oil for butter. I do have chocolate bars to use.

Chocomouse--I just brought my binders of The Baking Sheet into the house. I don't have the first ones, but I subscribed long enough to have three binders of the pamphlet ones and two binders of the glossy one--right up until KAF ended it.

My starter is on day 7 and bubbling some. I wonder if I should have done it in something other than a glass jar. Also it's just www and water. I wonder if some sugar would have helped. Deb Wink uses pineapple juice which is good for adjusting pH but it also adds sugar which cannot hurt.

Not sure what I will bake today. I may start some cinnamon rolls for tomorrow.

A non-reactive container like glass or ceramic is best for a starter.
