I thought I finally had my recipe perfected, but our pastoral intern served the bread smushed in our hands. :-/ so instead of a nice fluffy loaf we get a blob of dough. This week we'll have our pastor instead...hopefully everything goes right. Although it has been really humid lately. fingers crossed! my bread machine died...the paddle turner froze up...so I've been making a no knead recipe instead.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-91200361604661073902017-08-04T05:28:16.595-04:002017-08-04T05:28:16.595-04:00Ed, It really stumped me for awhile!

I used mine all season. The key is to keep it saturated by adding more salt after each use. As long as some is in the bottom because it can't dissolve any more salt, it's good to use.<br /><br />Deborah, good for Loretta Lynn's husband! I was really puzzled at first, because I add so little sugar that a mistake like that shouldn't have made a difference. Now my brine is loudly labeled!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-70346932645539628462017-08-02T12:47:59.402-04:002017-08-02T12:47:59.402-04:00reminds me of when loretta lynn's husband star...reminds me of when loretta lynn's husband started to court her.<br />got a pie she made at a church function.<br />she had put in salt instead of sugar, by mistake.<br />he married her anyway.deb harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110992898072146282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-36115271232908306442017-08-02T11:49:49.556-04:002017-08-02T11:49:49.556-04:00I never thought to save my mozzarella brine!
