I’m still baking, but it is mostly repeats at this point. I continue to make all of our sandwich bread. I’ve made biscuits and banana bread. I can’t stop making cinnamon swirl bread.
I’ll probably stop baking as much now that summer is almost here. I try not to turn my oven on because it heats up my whole house.
Have you been baking lately?
In the summer, I follow the weather. If there is a day that is ‘high and dry’, I get up early and get all my baking in. If I heat up the house, I may as well make the most of it. My home holds the heat; it is a very tight house. Once it is warm inside, it stays warm inside. I try to be miserable once. But I am a productive miserable.

OH yum that looks so good. Ive been making one cup of ice cream a night. With my DASH mini ice cream maker. But I LOVE bread. Try crock pot bread so you don’t heat up the house. It is actually good.

I’ve made meatloaf in the crockpot, but haven’t tried bread. It’s now on my list to try this summer.

I use my bread machine so no heat there. For other baking I use either my air fryer or Breville Smart oven. Neither heat my kitchen. The crockpot is my other friend. My oven and stove top seldom get used after the first of May until the end of October. Yes, our summer heat (100 plus) lasts that long.

Oh, I would love a Breville Smart oven. Do you have any good air fryer baking recipes? The cookies I’ve tried in it have failed awfully.

I have my starter on the counter feeding. I don’t think I’ll have time to bake tomorrow though. I might make biscuits or something with the discard.
Your bread always looks so good:)

The King Arthur discard biscuit recipe is alone worth maintaining a starter. They are so stinking good.

I’ve been baking cookies for my student’s goodie bags. I’m having a drive in party on Thursday. So far we have sugar cookies and snicker doodles. Tomorrow it will be chocolate refrigerator cookies, then chocolate chip cookies for DH.

I make pizza every other week or so, then use the leftover dough for bread sometimes. And sometimes to make garlic knots!

I have a couple – one is traditional, the other is really just a no-knead bread dough that I pat out really thin. Do you do sourdough pizza crust?

This week I made banana bread and flapjack on the same day, but no baking apart from that. I must get on with it!
