Cold weather? Check. Blustery breezes? Check. This is my favorite baking season – a great excuse to stay in and try new recipes. I have resolved to make 52 new bread recipes this year; I am considering it continuing education. This takes me out of my baking comfort zone and requires a number of new techniques and ingredient interactions for success. This week I made cinnamon raisin bread; it did not rise properly but it is delicious!
