Snapshot from my kitchen
After all the sweet posts something hearty is needed here on the Blog! At the moment I bake a lot of bread using my sweet starter because I’m still in love with my not sour sourdough. I hope it is not getting boring for you. But the sweet starter allows me even to make dough […]
I feed my sweet starter at least once a week to ensure that it keeps it mild flavour and it strength. But what to do with the excess starter if there is no need for bread, baguette or Germknödel? In this case waffles are always a good idea. And I have a soft spot for […]
Und schon ist der letzte Tag des Jahres 2013 im vollen Gange. Höchste Zeit also, so wie in jedem Jahr auf die vergangenen zwölf Monate zurückzublicken. Welches waren meine persönlichen Blog-Highlights 2013?
And here is already the last day of the year! And so like in each year, I like to take a look back on the past twelve month and choose my favourites of 2013. And like in each year it is a hard choice for me. But finally I choose my twelve favourite posts and put them together as an collage!
During hot summer days I prefer light breads. Breads like Baguette or Pain de Campagne bring a reminiscence of french summer days in our life.

I know, I know … there is already more than one recipe for Pizzadough on this blog. But this dough is so simple and good, I had to post this recipe as well. It is a “What I have in the cupboard” recipe, when I was to lazy to go to the pantry to fetch another […]
I planed to call this bread “May crust”, hoping to lure the sun from behind the rain clouds we had all May long. But then my boyfriends Mum came in our kitchen while the bread was cooling and exclaimed: “Your loaves look like young boars!” And from that moment on, we called them “Young Boar […]
In Germany it is a tradition to bring salt and bread as a present when friends or family moved into a new home. The present symbols wealth and luck for the new home. When Zorra moved her Blog to a new address, my first thought was, that I should bring Bread for her, at least […]
The Baguette with the long, cold fermentation was so delicious, that I started to though about using the same methode to bake Ciabattas. And because I did not bake Ciabattas for a quite long time, I did not only think about it but mixed directly a dough. The dough needs a long time in the […]
It’s already the last day of the year. And what a eventful year it was for me! It seems like yeasterday when I hurried through the lab to finish the last experiments of my Ph.d. thesis. And the time between writing the thesis, handing it in and defending it seeems to fly in one wink. […]
