BBA Catching up the Slow and Steady Group !

As you might know the BBA group is baking as a train (?) that is gone so far I cannot even see it anymore, so I didn't want to loose my 'Slow and Steady' group even if that meant baking in the worst heat wave we are having this summer !!!

Starting with the Brioche here I chose the Poor man's one


and having enjoied so much the Dorie's version I made with it another fruit tart !!


Then follows the Casatiello which ended up in a colomba mold


But no matter where I put it was really delicious !! I used Prosciutto and Provolone btw


We are still in the enriched section with the Challah


That I just had for breakfast with some orange marmalade !


And last but not in the least the least.... Ciabatta


Which I tried to shape in the two ways suggested in Crust and Crumb


But apart from the shape both came out with smallish HOLES !


And I forgot to mention that all my baking has been done thanks to Calcifer my sourdough starter !!
