A little on the lighter side as a favor for some friends.
Nice behind-the-scenes story about a local artisan bread maker and a tour of their main facility….15,000 loaves/day.

I don’t make too many sweet breads, but when your Mother turns a sprite 87, she deserves a treat. Cinnamon-raisin bread somewhat based on Forkish’s overnight white recipe. I’ll take slice pics later and report on the taste, but man, the recipe recommends having a warm slice with a slice of cheddar and a green apple and that’s all that I’ve been thinking about.
Geez zowie. If you want to quit your day job and become a baker, put me on your loaf-a-day mailing list.

From mixing bowl to table in 18 hours…who would’ve thought that raisin bread would go with smoked turkey and cheddar?
Great looking bread RW!

Our youngest is home for Spring Break and of course, we can’t serve him corporate bread…
What's the age range of your kids? Could I fit in there?

Added slice pics Dan…all full in terms of the available seats at the dinner table.
Uncle Frank could bring Bread, and other Tasty Items :>). Looks good Sir, Enjoy the Family time. As they get older it's harder to find.
A yeasty Question? Time to replace my 2 YO SAF yeast? is there a shelf life? I think it was livelier at one time but everything raises up nicely still. What is the general opinion? Also is there a way to buy less than 16 ounces, which seems to be all my local Grocer and KA carry. Thanks all. The latest Poolish effort, I've been using this to make a loaf a week and a couple pizza dough's. Need to update the pizza thread as well.

I am clearly the least expert in this here, (I had to look up SAF yeast), but all yeast has an expiration that I have ever used. I use active not instant (there are measurement conversions for that) but have occasionally bought instant in packets and that has also had expirations. I have been told to always keep the yeast in the fridge to keep it fresher. And I don’t know if there is a difference of brands in yeast but I have bought Fleischman’s and a couple of other brands in packets that are much smaller than 16 oz. Hope that helps.
I use the SAF Red instant yeast and keep it in the fridge in a sealed container. The Forkish recipes use so little yeast as you know, that I seem to exceed the expiration date and still have a lot left. You can tell if a batch is beyond its time by placing a bit in a small glass of warm water for 2-3 minutes and see if there’s a reaction. I have used Fleischman’s and active dry yeast and I can’t tell the difference, as the long fermentation times seem to even out. Nice looking loaf btw Frank.

Sorry about the poor formatting!
Good to see you posting my Friend, tasty Sourdough! My last attempt at a starter ended poorly :>(.
