Hopefully will mix up the Carmel acorn cookie dough.
Can you bake in that or just proof?
On a learning curve today. Dug out a few bread baking books from the garage. Might try a recipe from Artisan bread in 5 min a day. Don't know if that's the correct way of working with this new thing.

I've never used a Banneton before.I have 2 now.
Oh, what to do on a rainy day? Bake.
Question for you, do you bake them upside down (folded side down) and then flip them 1/2 through? I always mist mine with a water to which I have added baking soda when I flip them if I am making pretzel Kaiser rolls. Just curious how you do it? I hand fold mine, no Kaiser stamp here.
I baked cream cheese and jelly thumbprint cookies.
I've never heard of such a thing but I love all sorts of thumbprint cookies. Is this something you invented or is it commonly known? Tks.
My fave is a mixture of Robertson's ginger marmalde + crushed pecans + minced red or green preserved, sugared peel. A Christmas specialty in my household even tho I'm not a great baker.
Some of the cookies I put out last night. The tiny squares are the pepper nuts. The lone powdered one is Pfeffernuesse (Mom already ate 2).
Thanks, Addie. Her appetite is good, her mood is good, and her level of interaction is good. I am pleased.CWS, I am glad to hear that your mother is eating your goodies. Sounds like she is doing better during the holiday time.
