✝️✡️🐣 Saturday Bake-Along: Easter & Passover Weekend
It’s bake day. And this one means something. This is one of those weekends where bread isn’t just bread. It’s tradition. It’s memory. It’s the thing your grandmother made that you’re now making for your own family. That matters. Whether you’re baking: 🐰 Sculpted Easter bunny bread 🍞 Enriched Easter loaf ✝️ Hot cross buns 🌿 Babka, Tsoureki, Colomba ✡️ Something beautiful for your Passover table 🥖 Or just the bread your family expects to see this time of year We want to see it. All of it. Not sure what to make? Head to the Recipe Pantry at pantry.bakinggreatbread.com and search Easter. Everything is right there waiting for you. And remember, today isn’t limited to those recipes. Anything you’re baking for your holiday table is fair game. Drop your photos, your questions, your works in progress, and your finished loaves right here in this thread. Check in throughout the day. This is what Saturdays are for. Happy Easter to everyone celebrating. 🐣✝️ Chag Sameach to those observing Passover. ✡️🕍 Whatever your table looks like today, I hope it’s full and it’s warm and it smells incredible. Now let’s bake. 🔥 Perfection is not required. Progress is. Henry ⭐🔥

I’m embarrassed to share my bread. It’s a beached otter instead of a bunny. It did not hold its shape during the last proof. The dough was soft, light and airy. It needed a mold.

@Henry Hunter No refrigeration or freezer. Levain was made the day before. Everything else was done on Saturday. It was shaped on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Was I supposed to then put it the freezer or fridge? And for how long?
Who’s baking today?
Now that I found my bowl, I’m making these. I always end up baking right up until Showtime on Thursday. It’ll happen again tonight. https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/easter-bunny-bread?utm_source=skool&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=recipe-share

I pulled my sourdough starter out to feed and get it ready to make the levain for our bake this weekend. I ended up making Henry’s discard sourdough pancakes with blueberries. They were scrumptious.
🐣 Saturday Bake-Along announcement and I'm giving you a choice this week. 🐰
We've got two Easter Bunny bakes on the table and you pick the one that fits where you are right now. 🌷 Option 1 is the Easter Bunny Bread. 🐇 Soft, enriched dough with milk, butter, and eggs. You can bake it as one big centerpiece loaf or divide it into 8 individual bunny rolls. There's a yeasted version and a sourdough version in the pantry, so pick your path. 🥚 This one is accessible, festive, and your family is going to love it. Option 2 is the Sculpted Easter Bunny Bread. 🐰 This is the one I let slip earlier when I was in the middle of building it. Lean 65% hydration dough, Dutch oven bake, cold overnight proof. One boule. Every piece of the bunny comes from that single loaf. 🌸 It's more of a project and the shaping takes confidence, but the result is something else. Both recipes are in the pantry right now 👇 🐇 Enriched Easter Bunny (yeasted + sourdough): https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/easter-bunny-bread 🐰 Sculpted Easter Bunny Bread: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/sculpted-easter-bunny-bread Drop below which one you're doing Saturday. 🥚 I'll be in the thread all day. Perfection is not required. Progress is. 🌷 Take a look at all three Henry ⭐🔥

I will be doing option 1 sourdough!
The Foolproof Sourdough Loaf is live this week — and it's the perfect canvas for experimenting with inclusions.
▎ Tomorrow we're dropping a full breakdown on when, how, and what to add to your loaves — cheese, seeds, herbs, olives, chocolate, all of it. Three timing windows. One method for getting seeds to stick perfectly every time. ▎ But tonight I want to hear from you — what's the best thing you've ever put inside a loaf of bread? Weird answers encouraged. 👇 ▎ Recipe link: bit.ly/4beibLQ

I tried inclusions for the first time last weekend. I did a roasted garlic with cheddar and a rosemary parmesan. I roasted the garlic too long and it was mushy. It also needed more garlic. Taste was very good.
Good morning, bakers. Today’s the day! This is our working thread
This is our working thread for today’s bake-along. Drop in when you start, check in when things get interesting, and post your results when you pull them off the skillet. We’re making naan today. All three versions are in the Recipe Pantry — yeasted, sourdough, and sourdough discard. Pick the one that matches where you are right now and let’s get after it. 👉 https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/?search=Naan If you’re just joining us, here’s how it works. No set start time. No pressure. Bake when your day allows, check in here, and learn from everyone around you. That’s the whole point. Drop a 👋 below and tell us which version you’re making. Clean, simple, gets people to self-identify their version right in the comments which feeds directly into your poll data from yesterday.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I have been baking bread off and on for the last 10 years. Now that I am retired I have more time to enjoy the baking journey.
