1Revisited: A Primer on Sourdough Starters

Revisited: A Primer on Sourdough Starters

May 9, 2016

While I regrettably have not done much bread baking since we got Maple over one month ago, I know of many others who have.  In the past few weeks I’ve met up with four people in Ann Arbor to share some of my sourdough starter.  Each had been searching for a place in town to […]

A Bakers & Best Year In Review: 2015

Dec 28, 2015

I love combing through all the end of the year lists and reviews that come out in December and for the third straight year I’m polluting the internet with my own (see here for the 2013 and 2014 editions)!  2015 was a banner year for Bakers & Best with 109 published posts, a redesign of the […]

Being able to multitask in the kitchen is a valuable skill.  If you want separate components of a meal to finish at the same time it not only takes planning but also requires the ability to potentially monitor several pots and pans at once.  But, there is a point where it is probably a good idea […]

Chocolate Sourdough Muffins

Jun 10, 2013

When I made double chocolate sourdough bread I was left with half a bag of chocolate chips that needed a home in a delicious baked good.  Last weekend when making a variety of sourdough loaves (Tartine, Honey Oat) I wanted to find a new way to use my sourdough discard. These two things came together to become […]

English Muffins: Nooks and Crannies Worth the Wait

Sep 10, 2012

After more than a month long hiatus, I am finally getting back to blogging.  Several weeks ago I saw a recipe for English muffins I wanted to try, and figured it would be fitting to make them during the Olympics.  Like the rest of the world I became fascinated with everything Olympics for two weeks, […]
