Well, I am still not having good luck with the whole wheat breads,
the last two I made good be used with my first attempt at mashing potatoes, which my dad so tactfully told me could be used as mortar, well these loaves are the bricks to go with it. I have the white doughs down pretty well. I just made some herby garlic toasts to go with soup, from the last loaf I made. I am going to start my sourdough starter today, and I think I am going to make some cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow. Can I make these tonight and refrigerate them and just let them rise in the morning? Back to the wheat bread, I think perhaps I am making too dry a dough? I did buy some new yeast, but I don't think that was the problem because all the other breads were fine. Any ideas? Right now, I have to concentrate on cherries. I also have a pear tree, an apple tree, a peach tree, and a plum tree coming up. I don't know what I am going to do with all this fruit. I think freeze a lot of it for pies and cobblers and such, since I don't like them very much...smileys/smile.gif
