But I'm almost done baking. It is currently 80F outside but it was 75F overnight, with a storm that made it 90% humidity. I turned on the AC units and baked because I need food for the next two weeks.

Made yogurt, which is currently fermenting, granola which I need to add hazelnuts to.

Then bread which is in the oven now and rose spectacularly and I'm very happy with. Turns out the dough should be a little wetter, and probably the water I was using was a tiny bit too cool for the yeast. Plus I started rising it on the oven at all times. Recipe is Basic Sandwich Bread from America's Test Kitchen How Can it be Gluten Free book (not the actual name I think but close enough)

Also made chocolate chip scones for snacks for this week, cream scones from a giant Baking basics book that I like a lot for fancier things. I've made this a ton and it's pretty good if a little crumbly.

Final thing in the fridge chilling is puff pastry with the filling from a chocolate babka. The gluten free puff pastry from Baked to Perfection by Katarina Cermelj is just amazing. I got the book as recommended by [personal profile] runpunkrun here

I probably will share those with friends. Unless it's really really good. But I was going to make it into twists, but I'm a little worried about the pastry cooking in time, so I might actually slice them and they'll be weird little puff pastry bites.

I made a trip to the farmers market yesterday and got apricots (yay finally in season! PLUMS SOON), blueberries and sweet cherries for munching. I also picked up supplies for camping next weekend with my sister. The weather looks warm but not unbearable so we'll see. Might be camping at home
