As for me, today Iam getting back to making sourdough things and starting a new starter, after being on pause for a year and a half. I look forward to eating my own delicious bread again and would love to see what you made for inspiration!

I just started a new job. I have baked a few hundred cakes this week.

That's a good start, congratulations on the new job! ๐Ÿ˜„

I baked some focaccia on Saturday with rosemary from our little garden (I like making it really thick though). I also baked a loaf this morning after it had been in the fridge overnight, and have the baking steel preheating right now for some sourdough pizza in a bit.

Sounds delicious, I have yet to make a focaccia, but I love sourdough pizza too :)

It's super easy, and makes some amazing sandwiches when it's baked thick (I usually use a 9ร—9 pyrex dish). I'm not sure if it's technically focaccia since it's way thicker than a flatbread, but it's delicious nonetheless!

I'd love to see it if you have a photo!

I'll be baking some later today so I'll be sure to take a pic and post it!

I'm going through a Trevor J Wilson phase. His Champlain loaf recipe is a very interesting recipe, and some of his techniques I'm playing with again - like a very long autolyse in the fridge.

Thanks for sharing the recipe, looks tasty! I have not played much with autolyse, I will give it a try once my starter is ready to use :)

One loaf of a brioche & one loaf of half whole wheat/half white flour with some honey. Both as sandwich breads, in the big Pullman pan with no lid. Have some days off this week, may attempt puff pastry, if so will post it for sure.

For sure I'd love to see pics of the things you're baking, sounds lovely.
