How Can I Tell If My Yogurt is Done?


Hello friends,

I hope you had a good Easter. Where I live in Texas, we are excited about the eclipse on Monday. Reportedly, my backyard is "in the path." I wish you could join me.

It might seem helpful to soften (as specified in most bread recipes) or melt it before adding it to your bread machine pan, but room-temperature or warm butter can actually make your dough too soft or sticky… especially when combined with the friction factor (the heat a bread machine generates while kneading). Instead, try cutting cold butter into small pieces and adding it straight from the fridge. It...

sliced sourdough loaf

You've just pulled a beautiful loaf from the oven—golden crust, warm, with an aroma that's driving you crazy. The temptation to slice it right now is real. But if you want the best texture and flavor, give it time to cool.
