Bread

Read Article →

This bread really brought me back to one of my favourite places in the world, Tuscany. I've been there twice now and I'm in love. If you've followed me for a while, you may have read the post on Italy that I did after my trip there last summer. Smelling this bread as it came out of the oven conjured up images from that trip and the culture that I really envy.

You thought we were done with bread, didn't you? Wrong-o, my friend. It was simply a little break to give you some time breathe, finish up the bread in your freezer, make your starter, and feel a hankering for some more homemade bread.

Sourdough Starter

There are lots of different ways to make and maintain your own sourdough starter. Some people swear by using pineapple juice, some people only use rye flour, the list goes on. As long as you have flour, water, and wild yeast, you've got yourself a starter.

I'm a big fan of taking the flavours of something ordinary, like french toast drenched in maple syrup, creating a completely different and elevated version of it, and still making you think, "French toast!" when you eat it.

There are some recipes that you always keep around, no matter where you go or what you do. It's your go-to recipe, the one that works, is easy, and tastes amazing. You've made it so many times that you don't even need to look at the recipe anymore. You can change it up to fit the occasion or the dish and it's still just as stellar as ever.

This chocolate custard tart recipe is one of my ultimate go-to recipes.
