Great Fall Meal

Today I made my Potato Bread recipe and thawed out some of my Southwestern Potato Bisque soup.  What a wonderful combination!  Both recipes are here on the blog.

so what is your favorite Fall meal?

English Muffins

I just made homemade English Muffins.  WOW they are great!  Here is a link to the recipe on King Arthur Flour

TIP I used Cream of Wheat  (Farina) instead of cornmeal - works great and I had that on hand.

Give it a try!!

More Sourdough Bread Tips

As some will know who read this blog - I make bread every week. I do that because I like the taste, texture and economy of homemade bread.  When you have to pay $3- $5 for a decent loaf in the store it is time to make bread! I have been working for months on different Sourdough recipes.  Here is today's tip.


Sourdough can get dry quickly. Especially in the desert.  In order to make it last longer I have tried several different methods.

1. Mashed potatoes - basically i adapted my Potato Bread Recipe. works OK and the texture is fine.

2. Milk - must be scalded and then cooled.  It was alright but not my favorite

3. Dry Milk -- better - but but it does slow the rise.  Allow LOTS of time for proofing

so far no clear winner. I will keep trying and let you know.  If you have a suggestion please let me know.


Starters I use one from King Arthur flour. Works great!  I also use their instant yeast which is amazing. And yes I do yeast to my sourdough.

So what is your favorite bread recipe??
