Easy Croissants

These are too pretty for me to have actually made them. I must be lying.

I called these "easy croissants" not because the recipe is somehow different than any other croissant recipe, but because it turns out croissants are easy. I've wanted to try to make them for ages, but didn't because I thought that they might be beyond me. I finally had a weekend free and I thought, "I'm up for the challenge!" But it wasn't challenging and I spent most of the day playing Skyrim.

Basic Scones

Here are my basic scones for January's Daring Baker's challenge. I really enjoy scones, and make them fairly often (at least, in comparison to how often I consume other breads, which isn't that frequently). I find that quick breads don't hurt my stomach as much, for whatever reason. Also, I really like anything that tastes primarily of butter. Especially with butter on top.

Sourdough

This isn't any sort of recipe, it's just everything delicious that was left in my house stacked on top of bread. Cheese, bacon, caramelized onion, possibly avocado. 

Making my own sourdough starter this month was fun. It's fun to leave something to rot  ferment on your counter until it smells disgusting  alive and then make food out of it that is actually delicious.

Povitica

Delicious AND pretty.

This was my first Daring Baker challenge. How exciting. It was delicious, and surprisingly easy. I'll make it again if I ever come across a fantastic nut sale. Or I might train the crows outside my window to bring me nuts in exchange for. . . peanuts. Hmm. Maybe that won't work.

Dear internet, feel free to send me nuts.

Also, cash.
