A small seasonal baking calendar

Follow the weather, the fruit and your appetite.

1. 01

   In warm months, watch fermentation more closely as dough moves faster.

2. 02

   Use ripe berries and stone fruit in galettes when available.

3. 03

   In cooler months, give dough a warm spot and try hearty grain loaves.

4. 04

   Keep an adaptable base recipe rather than rebuilding every bake from scratch.
