What are you Baking the Week of June 5, 2022?

[Mike Nolan]

I think your challah look great, even the darkest of them.

I haven't made challah in a while, not sure I could do a 7-strand braid right now without some practice, even a 3-strand can come out lopsided if you don't pay attention. One of these days I'm going to make another attempt at a 6-strand, I'd still like to figure out how the one in 'Deli Man' was done!

I wont' be doing much baking the next week, it's time for the annual Barstow Alexander Institute, which is back to being in-person after last year's online version. And it's supposed to be in the 90's most of the next week, too, rather hot for baking. I might have to try some baking in my new grill when it comes next week, though. (For sure I will be trying pizza in it!)

Today I made a carrot cake. I baked it in a 9 x 12" pan, and will freeze half for later. Carrot cake is one of my favorites, but I rarely make it, so it will be a real treat.

I baked my Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from dough that I made last Sunday. My husband finished off the last batch yesterday.

BakerAunt, I saw this in KABC's Sunday round up and I thought of you - didn't know if you get the weekly email or have seen or tried this recipe for Olive Oil Orange Sugar Cookies

Alas, CWCdesign--the recipe still includes a stick of butter. However, I have found an oil-based lemon cookie that I plan to try.

[cwcdesign]

Then it’s not an olive oil cookie🙄 it’s an olive oil “flavored” cookie. I didn’t bother to read it because I’ve never seen an olive oil sweet baked item recipe that had butter.

[BakerAunt]

Oops. Moved my entry to the correct thread.

Those loaves look great, Aaron! I want the dark one!
