Home Baking

Thought I’d create a topic to show off your home baked goods! This is my first attempt at a Chocolate Gateau Basque (inspired by seeing the picture/ad for the version by Dandelion Chocolate).

It is hardly baking, but this cherry and apricot clafoutis was a fun afternoon project with two sick kiddos.

Yum!

Rather than resurrecting The Bread Thread I will just post here.


This is a modified version of Pane di Altamura. It’s a high hydration (90%) loaf made with Durum flour. Beautiful golden color, nutty flavor and nice open crumb. I didn’t make the traditional loaf shape as it wouldn’t have fit in my oven insert. Very happy with how it turned out.

Very nice! And might as well resurrect the bread thread. I’m planning to post there soon depending on how things go with the one in my fridge lol

Semolina is underrated as a grain for bread. Love the soft texture and unique flavor it has

This is Durum flour. Same grain but a finer grind than semolina. Read about it in Carol Field’s “The Italian Baker”. Surfa’s carries it. Great flavor!
