Sibling Bakery - A New Blog
I'm part way through my exam week right now, but have written the more difficult ones (communicable disease, toxicology, food hygiene - though food hygiene is not so difficult) and now have just one left (human relations)! So I thought I'd take a bit of a break and have been baking and starting to catch up on blogs. And speaking of blogs, I have something most exciting to share. My brother and I have started a blog together! Not just any blog, but a bread blog called Sibling Bakery where we've chosen to work our way through Secrets of a Jewish Baker: Recipes for 125 Breads from Around the World. (I was lucky and picked it up from a booksale for $2! More than worth it.) Both my brother and I wanted to bake more bread so thought it would be a good way to motivate ourselves and it would be fun to do it together.

As many of you know, I love love love baking. But I was always scared of bread, specifically the kneading part of it. I had no idea what to do, when to add flour, what was too much. I would just stick it in my Kitchenaid mixer and hope it all worked out, then get upset when it was too sticky. Well after making a few breads out of the book, I'm feeling a lot better about bread. I'm enjoying kneading! I'm constantly eager to make the next loaf, and bugging my brother to see if he's made his loaf yet. So please come and say hello at Sibling Bakery!

Ohhh, love your new blog adventure. Had trouble trying to post a comment. That dog is adorable. The bread looks amazing.
How cool, I wish my sibling was into cooking/baking... She's my exact opposite, unfortunately, and wants nothing to do with it!
This is such a cute idea! I wish I could get my brother to do something like this with me. I'm going to start working on him tomorrow.
Good luck with your exams!
I own that book too, love the Naan recipe, made it and posted it too. Corn bread looks yum.
If that baguette is anything to go on, your new blog will be wonderful. I am off to have a visit now :)
I love this idea- cooking through a cookbook with your brother! The baguette looks fantastic!
What a beautiful baguette! It sounds like a happy thing to be baking bread with your sibling. Zero rivalry, lots of fun!
I really like your blog and i really appreciate the excellent quality content you are posting here for free for your online readers. thanks peace claudia.
I really love baking. Thanks for sharing the link Sibling Bakery. I just love baking french bread and cinnamon bread. I miss those days where I still had the time for baking. I wish I could be able to bake again.
I wonder how you could get your bread to be this beautiful? It will certainly demand a lot of practice.
