Focus on home and the people we love. No more answers to baking questions for a while!
Dear Weekend Bakery Friends,
The coming months we will take a break from posting recipes and answering comments on our Weekend Bakery site.
Due to recent events our priorities have shifted and we need to focus on what matters most and give attention to our family and people who need us.
Of course we will keep baking for ourselves and other people close to us. We hope you all will do the same!
Our recipes, tips and comments will stay available to everybody.
We hope to continue with new energy and enthusiasm somewhere in 2021.
For now enjoy your baking and stay happy and healthy!

Hello,
When baking croissants, do we need moisture in the oven?

I love your unique style of writing, your photos, your explanation of techniques and why ingredients are added to specific types of recipes. You have a gift, not only of baking but of teaching. I look forward to upcoming posts but for now, focus on your health and family.

I stumbled on your recipe for PATISSERIE CREME by accident. I was looking for who invented “creme horns”. Your Pinterest recipe came up, and I started to read all the comments and then your biography. Wow!! I was amazed. After I saved your recipe I went looking for you online and I found you which was quite wonderful. I read you are taking time off to concentrate on your family which is very important. I will be going through all your recipes and trying them out. The year 2020 has been very stressful for everyone. I hope the year 2021 will be better for you and the entire world and all your readers. I will be honored to see you again this coming year if things improve. God Bless you and your family. Sincerely, Mary White, La Crosse, Wisconsin USA

Dank voor jullie inspanningen op jullie voortreffelijke site! Dank zij jullie is het nu min of meer traditie bij ons dat we iedere Zondag morgen een vers gebakken croissant voor ontbijt hebben.
Sterkte toegewenst in de komende tijd.

All the best to you as you pause and recharge. I really enjoy your site and have learned so much here – thank-you! As an ex-pat Californian living in Germany, all the tips/discussion around different types of flour have been especially helpful – I even have some printed out and hanging in our pantry! Wishing you rest and restoration, good health, and of course a peaceful holiday season.
Weekend Bakers says
Thank you Becky, same to you and hope to give some more inspiration in the future!

Even if you never return you have left a bread baking education that is around as long as this thing we call the internet.
Thank you for you devotion to enhancing the bread baking skills of others.
