322. Sourdough Bread Star

Okay, after so many late stars and catching up, this one was actually made early - meaning: yesterday. But it was such a great opportunity I couldn't let it pass:

This bread did not only get a star for decoration, it actually became my star of self-made bread so far: My very first real sourdough bread (I cultivated my own little sourdough starter baby :D) and it turned out fantastic!

286. Star Bread Reprise

Did I mention I'm out of energy here? The stars have been running on reserve for the past few weeks and no change in sight so far... Yesterday, I happened to make some stars when I meant to bake bread and I had too much dough for my small loaf pan. So I used my two little star-shaped moulds to make rolls.

I have done that before...

But due to a lack of energy and better ideas, I have to swallow my first pill of meaningless repetition. (There has been repetition before, but that was for important reasons...) - By the way: I could have gone for a different mould which I think I have not yet used on this project... But that's just how my brain works these days, I suppose...

And above all, I forgot to take a picture before I took a bite. So, here is the star hiding its mutilation at the side of a bowl of soup (plus some rather delicious self-made ginger butter):

284. Star on Toast

It's very rare that I have plain toast around - usually only if I need it for a special recipe. So I took this chance to have some personalised toast with my salad today:

275. (Faded) Bread Crust Star

Oh dear, today's star has somewhat disappeared...

Well, if you know it's supposed to be there, you might still be able to see it...

I cut a star into the top of the loaf of this "German potato bread" before baking and the bread was supposed to crack open, but it didn't. Still, I made the star (even though it didn't last until after the baking and I forgot to take a picture before) so it counts. :)

151. Star Bread

I got a present today - totally random, no reason at all, except that my lovely friend Tina thought of me when she discovered some star-shaped baking moulds and biscuit cutters. :) I had planned on baking some bread today, so I used those moulds to make two buns (if you can call them that... nothing like a real German Brötchen! :D):

Yummy!
