One of the best things about baking days is being able to rock out by myself and relive some good childhood memories.

I am not sure what possessed my parents to give me a Metallica tape for my 11th birthday, but it happened, and my life was never the same again.

I also have fond memories of my older cousin sneaking my brother and I Kiss and Poison tapes when my parents weren't looking. Good times.

Rise and shine! We are looking forward to the firs

Rise and shine! We are looking forward to the first IX winter market tomorrow! Fresh gluten-free sourdough bread, starting at 9am. Can't wait to get back into the swing of things. See you then!

Stairway to heaven...

3rd time, this round with no eggs and a slight flour adjustment. The best so far. One more test to go!

Sourdough kanelbullar. Came out pretty well! Over-baked these by a few mins, but still soft, sweet and cinnamony where it counts.

HUGE thanks to everyone who donated over the last year! Here's the first round of bread to be donated to @loavesfishes4288, on this rainy Christmas Eve day.

It has been a crazy, challenging, humbling year, and I can't think of a better way to end it.

Making up GF pastry recipes from scratch is hard,

Making up GF pastry recipes from scratch is hard, ya'll. I took me years to figure the sourdough bread out...this enriched dough stuff is intimidating.

Here is my not first attempt, with the aforementioned elderberry juniper syrup glaze. Traditional swedish kanelbullar, or swedish cinnamon buns. I tried some other traditional shapes, but the dough kept falling apart.

This was a yeasted dough...eventually I'd love this to be sourdough as well.

Elderberry juniper maple syrup, in fire of creation.

There is so much to say about these two amazing plant allies. And how to make this syrup. But all that's for another post.

Instead, I'll say how excited I am to be making elderberry juniper maple syrup...and even more excited about what it's going to go on.

I'll tell you more later. Maybe tomorrow.

How I love the way my hands warm up when I cut and roast these jalapeños! Plus a free sinus clearing!

See you tomorrow at IX, 9am - 1pm, for the last market of the season. We'll be back after a two week holiday break on Jan 9.

Come and stock up!

Now that's what you want to see when you open your oven door! Deep color, full expansion, even an ear or two. Sometimes even small changes in the recipe can really make a difference. I'm sure there's a metaphor around here, but I'm too excited about these cranberry herb loaves to come up with one.

Interested in taking one home? They're going out to @greatharvestcvl and @integralyoganaturalfoods tomorrow!

Gluten-free pizza crust, test #2

I wanted something a little crispier than the last one, and, honestly, something that wasn't sourdough. The effect of the acidity on the dough gave it more chew than crunch, so I added white rice flour instead of brown rice flour and used commercial yeast instead of my starter.

I think it worked...the crust had a more pronounced crispiness on the outside, while still staying fairly light and soft on the inside.

I also tried a thin crust, as well as my usual thick neopolotin-style go-to. Both were pretty good! Extra thanks to @madcomushrooms for the excellent lion's mane mushrooms seen here.

Is it ready for the market? I'd say 95%. One more test this week...

Fresh stone-ground mulling spices...rum-soaked fruit and almonds...powdered sugar...yes it's time!

Sourdough stollen may be my very favorite bread to make. I have fond memories of Gunter Hauk, co-founder of @spikenardhoneybees, reveling in the stories and mysteries of the Christ being with traditional german stollen in hand.

This time of the year has always been very special and moving to me. Not in a particularly religious way, but in a more essential and universal way. To honor the birth of a new way of living and being in the world, one that makes space for our deeper sameness to emerge - even within our separateness - feels like a great blessing worthy of celebration. Gets me every time.

To me, stollen is the distillation of all of these feelings and thoughts, and of family, and everything else about this season that can't be put into words.

All I'm tryin' to say is that it's pretty darn tasty. I can't wait to share it with you. I will hopefully have a few at the next 2 markets!

Success! For this first test bake I went with just tomato sauce, goat cheese, shitake mushrooms and spinach. I left the crust on the baking sheet and the bottom got a little chewy, but pretty good otherwise.

I can think a few small changes, but will hopefully have some for this Saturday market!
