These muffins are another great way to use your “throwaway starter”. I made these muffins twice to get the flavor and texture I wanted. The first recipe came from Genius Kitchen and I was not happy with it – too dry, not enough flavor and maybe they could rise more. The Genius Kitchen recipe peaked … Continue reading
Yikes – this rye bread was good. One of the best I’ve made in my Mini Zo. The crust and the bread itself had a good texture and a slice was delicious lathered up with butter. Hmmm – reuben sandwich next! Last week I posted a Sourdough Bread I made in my Mini Zo and I was … Continue reading
This post is Part 2 of baking with sourdough. Part 1 was Sourdough – Reviving your Starter when for the first time making bread I weighed my Rosebud starter, flour and water as I went through a 2-day process of turning her into a bubbly happy camper.

There is a nice balance of sweet with the caramelized onions and the tang of sourdough. The onions really come through nicely, not so much the … Continue reading
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star – no this post is not about a famous children’s song but is a special tribute post to remember Selma @ Selma’s Table, a special blogging friend from the UK who passed away recently.
