No Knead Sourdough Bread!

My family loves sourdough bread! It’s our favorite, and recently I’ve been making lots of no knead thick crusty italian bread in my Dutch oven! So I thought to myself why can’t I turn that same recipe into sourdough bread! So here goes!

Ingredients:
3 1/2 cup bread flour
1 tsp yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 tsp kosher salt

Method:
Combine yeast and warm water. Allow the yeast to activate for about 5-10 minutes. Until bubbly. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl, make a well in the flour and stir in water yeast mixture until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap, and then lay a towel over the bowl and let sit for 36-40 hours. Uncover and roll into a ball, on a floured surface. Pre heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, then place your Dutch oven in the regular oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, place your dough carefully into the Dutch oven, put the lid on the DO and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 min.
Then your bread is done! 🙂

Moist and chewy chocolate chip cookies! Version 7.07!

Ohhh boy oh boy! I have something for you today! I know you’ve all heard the promises by every baker, the promise that they have the perfect CCC recipe, and surprise surprise, I’m not here to do that! I’m here to give you another version, and version that uses similar ingredients but a new mixing method!
This recipe is adapted from Gretchen, at woodland bakery! She’s quite the baker!
The fact that you melt the butter, and use less and only brown sugar, makes this cookie moist and chewy. We also add butterscotch chips to these cookies, which I think is a fabulous special touch!
Follow this recipe exactly, and I know you won’t have any problems! (don’t worry its easy peazy)

 

Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
Xxxooo
