  9. Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Bread Baker’s Year: What Happens When You Make It Every Week

Long-fermented sourdough bread has measurably different effects on blood sugar than conventionally leavened bread made from the same flour. The organic acids produced during sourdough fermentation — lactic and acetic acid — slow the digestion of starches and lower the glycemic response of the finished bread compared to bread made with commercial yeast. Additionally, the extended fermentation degrades phytic acid in the grain, improving the bioavailability of minerals including iron, zinc, and magnesium. The health benefits of genuine sourdough bread — as opposed to bread marketed as sourdough but made with commercial yeast and added acid — are a direct product of the long, genuine fermentation process that the practice of weekly bread baking produces.
