Our first recipe posts on Tuesday! Some of you are wondering what that means and how this actually works. Here is what happens:
On Monday night (because we have bakers from all over the world and our Monday is someone else’s Tuesday) Laurie or I will put up a new post titled “LYL: White Loaves. LYL = Leave Your Link. In the body of the post will be links to our blogs because we are the hosts for this recipe. There might be a photo or two (of us or our bread) as well. Anyone who has baked along and created a blog post is invited to put a link to said blog post in the comments section. As long as it is Tuesday where you are, please leave your link. (Note – I will often write my blog on Sunday and set it to post on Tuesday.) I place my link in the comments section with the time that it will actually post. You should be able to click through any of the links to see the gorgeous loaves that the TWD bakers have created.
It is likely to be overwhelming at first. We have over 300 blogs registered. Visit as many as you can without going crazy. You have two whole weeks to look at these posts before a new recipe will take its place.
We ask that the only people posting the recipe(s) are the hosts. In your blog post, please link to the hosts if you’d like people to be able to find the recipe. Alternately, tell them to go buy the book.
If there are any other questions, please either e-mail us or leave them in the comments. We’ll try our best to answer quickly.
Bake on!
Tuesdays with Dorie 
So excited! Can’t wait to see how everyone liked the bread.
So excited here too! Ive made the bread twice and may make it once more tomorrow. Its THAT good.
Cant wait to see all your lovely loaves.
Is it Tuesday yet?
Can’t wait to read eveyone’s outcome! So many nice blogs out there.
good!! now i don’t feel like i’m cheating because i am going to finish up dishes and get cranking on that bread. lol, and it is satuday :P (i’m taking advantage of my kids napping…)
anyway, is it ok to blog about something we bake between the tuesdays we have the shared recipes? because there are a lot of good looking breads (i am a sucker for bread!) in that book.
You are more than welcome to blog about anything you want on your personal blog, we only ask that you only label the recipe of the week as a Tuesdays with Dorie post. The point of TWD is to bake the book as a group. Recipes that you make and post ‘off schedule’ are not part of the group.
Can the person who is hosting post early so that I can have their link to put in my post. I would like to post with the link to the recipe so that my readers can find it.
Jules and I will come leave links on Monday. :)
Hi! I am new to TWD and am making the bread recipe tomorrow. Is there a “Tuesday With Dorie? standard logo that I can use when posting each week? If so, how do I get it? Thanks so much, I am so excited to meet the bakers!
We do have a logo. Its being ‘cleaned up’ and I should have it today or tomorrow.
So glad to be participating – love baking, Julia, and Dorie!
The bread will be easy the blog stuff not so easy. I find it daunting But I will rise to the challenge.
“Rise” to the challenge. Bread bakers humor. Love it!!!
I just took my bread out of the oven and it smells amazing. I can’t wait to actually try it!
I’m excited about starting!
so are the hosts supposed to be posting the actual recipe?
Yes only the host posts the actual recipe. Jules has that honor this week.
I’m really excited to join TWD but, having read the recipe, I realize that mine is not a bakery’s kitchen. Any suggestions for substitutes for using dough hooks? I only have a hand held mixer with no dough attachments. Thanks everyone!
You can always knead your dough by hand. It’s a good upper body work out :)
Whoops! I almost forgot about tomorrow being the start of Baking with Julia! I’ll be baking my bread tomorrow and posting tomorrow evening. Better late than never!
Will there be a spot on this site to post our links tomorrow? And do we have a sign in process like French Fridays with Dorie?
Question answered in the above post. There is no sign in.
Thank you; it’s much clearer now! I have just started learning to blog & post & I am in a total learning curve!!
I am just clueless here trying to figure out where the actual TWD site is & how to post on it! I do FFWD but there is a site where it is based. I know I’m daft here, but help, please??
This is the TWD site. Some time tonight, we will put up a LYL post. You put your blog URL in the comments section.
Testing my ability to leave a comment…and learning more than just how to bake bread :)

I am very excited to join the group. I am a novice baker and blogger. I am working on setting up a blog, and could use some advice on materials I will need for baking. I have a Kitchen aid classic mixer and an 11 cup food processor. I really appreciate any help and recommendations as I begin this baking journey!! Thanks :)
Can we post on the Tuesday between recipes? I was away last week
I have my book and I want to join Tuesdays with dorie. I already have a blog, do I need to start a new one to participate. Pat
