@Mary Nunaley Here is Mary's update today and awesome news. Praise the good Lord! 🙏❤️💞 "Met with the surgeon post-op and while the break was worse than X-rays showed, I now basically have a new left ankle complete with a “TightRope” Working on pain management and a strategy for 8 weeks of non- Weight-bearing on both legs. This ads new meaning to go big or go home. Waiting for insurance to sort itself and then I’m off to a rehab facility for a few weeks. Not sure what happens after rehab but learning to take things one day at a time. More tomorrow when my brain returns."

Today, October 24, inside Crust & Crumb Academy! We're baking something special this Saturday. Pan de Muerto, the traditional Mexican bread made for Día de los Muertos, a celebration of remembrance, family, and the people we love. And we're making it TWO ways! 🍞 Traditional Yeasted Pan de Muerto Soft, buttery, lightly sweet, with that beautiful orange aroma. A great choice if you want to mix your dough and bake today. 🥖 Sourdough Pan de Muerto We're using a stiff levain for this version. It takes a little more patience, but that's part of the journey. If you've already prepared your levain, you're ready to join us. We'll talk about the history behind this beautiful bread, shape the traditional bones that decorate the top, and bake it together. 📖 GET YOUR RECIPES: 🍞 Yeasted Version: https://recipepantry.app/recipes/pan-de-muerto 🥖 Sourdough Version: https://recipepantry.app/recipes/sourdough-pan-de-muerto Perfection isn't required. Progress is. Who's baking with me today, yeasted or sourdough? Henry⭐🔥

Ever pulled a beautiful loaf out of the oven, cut into it, and wondered why the crumb was so dense? There's a reason. Sometimes it's the flour, sometimes it's hydration, and sometimes it's fermentation. The trick is learning to read what your dough is telling you.
