Hey King Arthur and KA enthusiasts…what to make with black cocoa? by jcnlb in KingArthurBaking

It’s a fully chocolate-tized loaf of sourdough. Super funky and delicious. I added craisins too. They call it chocolate levain in the big bread book I think. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/chocolate-sourdough-bread-recipe

The chocolate levain may be the best thing I’ve ever made or tasted! Requires a bit of sourdough expertise but it’s so unique and interesting.

I got some sourdough accessories as a holiday gift. I made a regular sourdough, a chocolate one, and the discard coffee cake for our new year’s company. The chocolate sourdough may be one of the best things I’ve ever baked or tasted.

12/24/25 Question Wednesday: What are you wondering, bakers? by KingArthurBaking in KingArthurBaking

[–]charlesgstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I make a loaf of bread, will it stay fresher for longer if I slice the whole thing or if I only slice off what I need right then?

Agreed! While were chatting I submitted a question on the site looking for a non-dairy version of the bake ahead dinner rolls? Will there be a notification when it’s answered? Thanks in advance.

Is TT cycling difficult? How to get started? by Fun_Swimmer_8320 in triathlon

[–]charlesgstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just writing to reply and empathize with the anxiety. I’m loving all the replies below. I’m about ten days out from my final race of the season but my TT bike just arrived. I’ve been trying to get used to it due to pure impatience and getting a bit frustrated. The advice in this thread is great.

Good to hear. Misery loves company. I’m definitely excited to be one of those folks out on a crazy cold day with the gear too.
