Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· 18d Yesterday, my wife and I went to Vashon Island, WA, which meant we got an awesome view of the Olympic Mountains on the ferry ride to there.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· 28d Did Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls and they turned out amazing!! Dough recipe via Tastes of Lizzie, Filling and frosting via Munchies By Mallory, and the homemade biscoff butter used was based on a recipe by Spatula Desserts. Frosting left off 3 to accommodate diet restrictions for one of my kids

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· 29d I'm going to attempt Biscoff cinnamon rolls tomorrow, so tonight I made a batch of Biscoff butter to use with them. This means I'm about to embark on my most difficult baking challenge yet - Not eating the Biscoff butter before I use it for the recipe 😬

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Jun 21 I'm a huge sucker for reflective shots when I'm out on the lake!! (Siren, WI)

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· May 17 Did Nutella rolls for the first time. First time also doing anything cinnamon roll style with a tangxiong. It turned out well!! The rolls were fluffy and were a hit. Pictured before and after adding vanilla glaze and extra chocolate chips.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Mar 22 First time I tried to do one of the braid cuts to score an Italian loaf. The braid turned out well, even if the loaf shape suffered from being a bit under proofed...

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Mar 16 How Oscar ballots are going in my family tonight...

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Feb 16 Sourdough baguette rolls turned out well, though I always under shoot the second proof during colder months.
Recipe was the sourdough baguette recipe via Sourdough Brandon.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Feb 8 Me: These rolls are a sourdough milk bread using no dried yeast and a Tangzhong starter for extra fluffiness.
My 14yo: (taking a bite) yup, it tastes like bread. Good work.
Me: 😑

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Jan 20 Tried sourdough croissants for the first time and despite some issues during the final proof (proofing spot too warm), these still turned out immensely flaky and a huge hit with the family.
Recipe via Sourdough Brandon.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Dec 25 Me: (To my family) This Italian bread was baked with love
Narrator: He swore at the dough not less than 37 times during the kneading process because it was a sticky high-hydration dough

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Dec 24 The Christmas Eve Morning French Toast bread I bake is usually just me practicing either braids I've never done it braids I haven't done in a while. This one is a little rough and ready, but it still turned out pretty good!!

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Dec 21 We had our family Chanukah celebration so I made (baked brioche) donuts. Some glazed and stuffed with jelly, others stuffed and topped with Swiss meringue buttercream.
I made a full batch of the buttercream, and there was a lot leftover, so long story short I baked a cake just to frost it.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Nov 30 I've been learning Portuguese (and Spanish) on Duolingo for the past few years, and today I tried a milk bread recipe (via baker Dicas Ka Sandra) from the original Portuguese.
The bread turned out excellent, the family loved it, and I'm proud of my language learning progress

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Nov 27 Happy Thanksgiving!!
I'm back on dinner roll/bread duty. Got a batch of clover shaped challah rolls, a pan of focaccia bread, and both regular and cheddar stuffed sourdough rolls.
Proud of how these turned out, though the sourdough could have used another 20min proofing.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Oct 26 Did some pumpkin rolls today (cinnamon roll dough with a pumpkin and spice filling). Was a bit slow in getting the tin foil hat on so they got over browned, but that's what generous helpings of glasses is meant to cover...

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Oct 12 My youngest wants a French toast dinner for her birthday. I usually do challah for that since it's great French toast bread. When I know it's for that, I take the opportunity to practice different braiding patterns, and this 5 strand turned out well and ready for second rise.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Sep 28 Our family did our Rosh Hashanah festivities today. I did a regular challah round (recipe via Allrecipes) and sourdough challah rolls (recipe via Sourdough Brandon). Both turned out well.
Wishing all my Jewish friends a wonderful New Year, and a meaningful Yom Kippur.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Sep 20 On my baking bucket list was mastering those ultra fluffy pancakes that I see a lot in internet videos, where the egg whites are beaten separate and folded back in. These turned out PRETTY good but I definitely needed to have weighed the flower, as these wound up a bit dense.

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Sep 7 I've been trying the higher hydration doughs lately, and I'm happy with how this 90% hydration Italian bread turned out.
Not pictured, the Pan De Crystal from last week which could have been used as an acceptable frisbee...

Mike Vogel@michaelvogel1· Aug 17 Just busted out my best batch thus far of sourdough English muffins for my family, and my 7yo's immediate reaction was apparent disappointment that the bread doesn't speak English (or at all), and now I'm questioning all the Dad jokes I ever made while parenting...
