Sourdough Hot Cross Buns
Second fomula by Arti Jorgenson. These buns are pillowy soft. But to get that ethereal fluffiness, you have to work with quite wet dough.

Crust Treatments for Your Breads and Rolls
Brushing your loaves or rolls with a bit of wash or glaze might seem like an unnecessary hassle, especially when you are looking at whipping an egg and cleaning out a goopy pastry brush. However, almost all yeast breads require some type of crust treatment. Sometimes they simply add a beautiful shine or a lovely […]

Sourdough Butter Crumb Banana Bread
Banana bread is just not quite as good, in this baker’s opinion, without the crumbs on top. I find that to be the case for most tea breads and muffins. There is just something about the crumbs that makes people say, “Wow!” In the past, my boys wanted me to make a loaf of “just […]
Soft Hybrid Buttermilk Dinner Rolls
These rolls are soft and scrumptious. They are also hybrid rolls using both sourdough starter and commercial yeast. They can be started in the morning and ready for dinner that same day. Makes 24 rolls at 61/62 grams each (easier for the mixer to work this amount of dough) (or divide dough amounts in half […]
