2023 Edition - What are you baking?

I made another loaf of Death By Chocolate banana bread - my way to use baking soda. Not that I needed that reason to make it again, but I had those bananas ready. And this is something good I can take over to my friend's place tomorrow night. I'll resist cutting it in advance.

I only use my FP to make pizza dough. Comes out great. Much shorter processing time.

Today I made a couple of loaves of Russian black bread - something I got the idea for when I found a bag of wheat bran in the freezer, as this recipe has 2 c of bran. That, plus the 4 c of rye flour, gives a fairly dense bread, with just 2½ c wheat flour, though I added some gluten, to make up for this.

Woops - I forgot I baked this on the new year! Oh well, it tastes the same...

I think they are beautiful. But, I can see why you didn't consider their appearance to be perfect. Who cares? They puffed up beautifully. They didn't have a crust on top. Your brother is right. They are perfect, for the purpose.

I guess I should have said, I couldnt make this in my food processor, even though it has a dough attachment because of the volume, so I kneaded it by hand for about 10 minutes. Once I got into a rhythm it was actually okay. And I "proved" it for a lot longer than the recipe said. (Because of my long lost brother turning up!) So they turned out great - for reasons not connected to the recipe! However, I must admit, they are good buns! So I would use this recipe again.

Well, let's kick off the new year. I love cheesecake with cherry topping.
