I baked ten Whole Wheat/Rye/Semolina buns on Sunday to use for sandwiches for dinner.

I made 4 dozen of the Lemon Oatmeal Sugar Cookies today. I used a little more of the lemon juice powder this time and the lemon flavor is quite a bit stronger in the finished cookie. I look forward to taste-testing that flavor again tomorrow - maybe it will be even better.

I will have to bake some bread on Sunday and also start resuscitating the sourdough starter.

Chocomouse I love those cookies!

I did a pepperoni, tomato, sweet red pepper pizza with three cheese topping yesterday. Most of its in the refrigerator for snacking over the next two or three days.

[BakerAunt]

Your pizza sounds delicious, skeptic.

I baked a double recipe of soft oatmeal cookies this afternoon.

I will mix up the levain this evening for a wholegrain sourdough bread that I plan to bake tomorrow.

I baked Rustic Wholegrain Sourdough Bread in a Cloche on Friday. It is one of the most beautiful boules that I have baked. I tried a new shaping method of just going around the edges of the circle of dough and folding in the edges before flipping it over. Baking this bread again is another indicator of autumn, since it goes into a cloche, which goes into a cold oven which is then set at 425 F for 55 minutes (actually needed 58 minutes to get to 198 F). I adapted this recipe from King Arthur, but mine has more wholegrains and is backed in a Rommertopf bowl with a cloche lid (the one from the set I bought from Skeptic about three years ago) set on top.

I made the peanut butter cookies and oatmeal and raisin cookies for poker tomorrow night.Where we usually go on Friday nights the lady's 35 year old daughter died from Cerebral Palsy so we are having a celebration of life for her tomorrow then me and my cousin are going to a game right down the road from me at my yard mans home.

I made Banh Mi hard rolls today.

I baked a blueberry bread. It is my sister in-law's recipe. It's more like a cake and it was well received by my neighbor's family.

I have a French apple cake in the oven now, it's loaded with chopped apples and smells wonderful. Not sure why it is "French", maybe because it has 3 tablespoons of rum in it?

[Mike Nolan]

There are recipes for Irish apple cake, French apple cake, Italian apple cake, Dutch apple cake, German apple cake, and probably some I've missed. No 'American apple cake' that I can find, though.

I think you're right about the French one being because it has rum in it. I wonder if it was originally cognac?

[chocomouse]

The apple cake is excellent. I do not taste even a hint of rum. I think cognac would be better, or even Irish whiskey. I sprinkled turbinado sugar on top, and think the crunchiness adds a lot.
