When fall hits, I of course hope for the weather to get cooler & the pretty fall colors to pop out sooner than they actually do here in Kentucky. Then, I get in the mood for warm doughy foods like bread. Especially bread.

What I like most about a sourdough starter are is its uniqueness and flexibility. No one in the entire world can have a sourdough starter just like yours. Even if they begin with the same amount of water and flour, your starter will be different. Besides the ingredients used in feeding, there are other influencing factors like the air in your home and your chosen feeding schedule. The sourdough starter is flexible because it can be used in any recipe that uses flour. Besides a multitude of bread recipes, my cookbook also offers a variety of recipes such as cakes, cookies, pancakes and more.

I hope you enjoy these Sourdough English Muffins. They are so much better than store-bought English Muffins.

YUM!!!! My mouth is watering! Anyone else’s??

Carroll Pellegrinelli has been baking for as long as she can remember. Under her mother’s guidance she began creaming her butter and sugars as soon as she could reach the counter. A few years later, in an effort of self-preservation, her father took up bread baking. He found that kneading dough alleviates work-related stress. Carroll soon followed suit and began baking bread too. For almost 20 years Carroll wrote about Desserts and Baking for About.com, which was owned by The New York Times. Combining her love of food and travel, Carroll wrote the first book in a series of adventure travel cookbooks: Travel with the Lee Girls, As they Shop and Eat Their Way Through the South, New Orleans. The book is available on Amazon in paperback and in e-book at https://amzn.to/2DKkln4

Her latest book is a cookbook called: Starter Sourdough – The Step by Step Guide to Sourdough Starters. This book can be found at: https://amzn.to/2OIzHAX
