Random Pictures of Baked Goodies

Life is a bit hectic at the moment, fortunately getting ready to go on vacation for a week.  Boy, do we need a week off from reality!  Found a few pictures of things I've meant to write about and just haven't had the time or presence of mind to do so!  Here for your perusal.....


First up, Pecan Rye.  Oklahoma pecans baked into a bread with rye, whole wheat and bread flour.  Tight crumb, crusty crust.  One of my favorite breads at the moment!

 

 

 

 

Honey Oat Sandwich Loaf.   A good general sandwich loaf for slicing as thickly or thinly as you desire!  Good dose of oatmeal and can also add whole wheat for even more wholesome goodness!  This loaf is baked in a Pullman pan to keep the loaf square.

 



 

 

 

 

 

Pain au Levain.  An experiment using only the yeast in my starter.  Need to play around with this dough some more, but expect to be seeing this added to the menu before long!

 

 

 

 

 

That Chocolate Cake.  Pure chocolate through and through.  This cake was for a milestone birthday so I added a third layer and added raspberries to the top.  Wish I had used some raspberry jam as a filling and will do so when you order yours, if you wish.  Best chocolate cake I've ever had.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chocolate Croissant.  Another experiment.  Laminating dough takes some elbow grease rolling by hand.  Not quite ready to make a menu appearance, but soon!!!
