It's good to know I'm not the only one who gets such a kick out of buckets on heads. ;)<br /><br />Stacy,</b><br />My apologies for the delay getting back to you. The 'old dough' method for baking bread can be applied to pretty much any 'straight dough' recipe (as opposed to breads made with a starter or a sponge).<br /><br />It's an easy way to get some of the 'aged' goodness of a starter or sponge into your loaf. All you do is keep a hunk of dough from your last batch of bread to mix in to the new batch. Many bakeries do this, simply saving some of today's dough for tomorrow's loaves. At home, you can freeze your old dough and then defrost it whenever you want to make bread again.<br /><br />My Oatmeal Toasting Bread (recipe <a href="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2006/11/oatmeal-toasting-bread-baking.html" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a>) is the only one of my bread recipes that specifically calls for old dough (and there are also instructions for making it without any old dough), but you could certainly add it to the Farmhouse White (that recipe will be posted here on Farmgirl Fare hopefully in the next few weeks) - or any of your other favorite bread recipes.<br /><br />Your old dough doesn't have to be the exact same kind of bread dough that you add it to, but depending on what it is, it may change the end results a little - for example, if you add oatmeal toasting bread or a heavy whole grain old dough to plain Farmhouse White.<br /><br />Okay, can you see how easily I can get carried away when it comes to talking (typing?) about bread, LOL? Anyway, I hope this helps. Happy baking! :)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-88235655171396554402010-08-20T20:41:19.060-05:002010-08-20T20:41:19.060-05:00We have some girls who prefer the bucket as if it ...We have some girls who prefer the bucket as if it has something extra special in it.I feed everyone and then always leave some in the bucket for those who thinks it is somehow better that way.Whatever,if it makes them happy I can do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-46457092510440937352010-08-20T13:10:57.300-05:002010-08-20T13:10:57.300-05:00I have learned simply from reading your blog, that...I have learned simply from reading your blog, that life is 'never' dull on a farm.

Now I ask, how does licking molasses residue from the bucket differ from drinking the milk from your cereal bowl. Isn't it a bit the same.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158949884724708133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1649854829177710772010-08-19T11:06:37.957-05:002010-08-19T11:06:37.957-05:00I hope this is okay but I have a general question....I hope this is okay but I have a general question. I have been enjoying all your recipes and hints for bread. I have been baking for YEARS but still have issues sometimes! I am ready to try your ideas but want to know do you add the "old" dough to your farm house white?<br />I saved a portion from my last batch of bread and am not sure does it only go in the oatmeal or the white? Would you add it to all breads? <br />Thanks!stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900108011879694928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-72097200335461606592010-08-19T08:54:58.871-05:002010-08-19T08:54:58.871-05:00Cute picture.

I also love yesterday's image of Molly Duddlebug. She is so cute. I so the photo on Flickr and thought I would come over here to comment. Thanks for all the great stories you put in your blogs also. I would so love to live on a farm someday.claydancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129510121197233586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-65046010200657331822010-08-18T19:52:36.623-05:002010-08-18T19:52:36.623-05:00We had a cow on our farm that used to get her head...We had a cow on our farm that used to get her head stuck in an old tire in the barnlot, while trying to eat all the grass growing up through the tire... wish I had pictures of that.
