Needed to use up some Yukon gold potatoes that were about to start growing roots, so I made a loaf of potato bread.


Very tasty, but kinda delicate. I wonder if making this w bread flour and more aggressive kneading would help that. The recipe is for two loaves. I only made one. Use 2tsp yeast. Cut everything else in half. Recipe here:

The school raised almost $900, which is great for a small school. We have about 285 students and are not in a wealthy area of town

Brioche sandwich buns from Baking with Dorie. This is a 2 day process with most of the attention given to the dough on day 1. The buns baked up nice and light with a tender crumb. Rich and slightly sweet. I weighted the dough, each bun was exactly 90grms and i got 12 plus a tiny one. They are really a perfect size for sanwiches. Dorie says they freeze well.

Birthday Carrot Cake, or what is left of it... chock full of carrots, golden raisins, crushed pineapple, applesauce and walnuts. The recipe has been in my hands for about 45 years. It is very moist and has a cream cheese/pecan coconut frosting. There is only 1 piece left and we'll see how long that lasts. The roomate was very helpful with putting it together.

Thank you for sharing! My dad’s family is Polish but I’ve never had these, they look great!

I’ve been on a restricted diet - smooth, no chewing for last 6 days (from dental procedure). Never realized how much I’d miss chewing! Vichyssoise, eggs, smoothies, mash potatoes getting pretty boring. Seemed like the perfect time for a basque cheesecake. So easy quick and delicious. I see many comments that it ‘must’ not have any fruit or sauce - I disagree and love a raspberry or blackberry purée.
