Our host for this month's challenge is Rosa of Rosa's Yummy Yums . In honor of Sher , who was to be her co-host for this month, Rosa went with Sher's challenge idea: Peter Reinhart's basic pizza dough. I had a lot of fun with this challenge. Shane, my friend Nancy and I gathered in the...

Our DB hosts this month, Shel of Musings from the Fishbowl and Natalie of Gluten A Go Go , challenged us to make lavash, a type of flatbread, and a vegan dip of our choosing.

Cinnamon rolls. Sticky buns. Click here for the recipe. I was so excited (and, um, nervous) about participating in my first Daring Bakers Challenge, I decided to cover it "live blogger" style. Of course, that doesn't really work when you publish the coverage almost a month later ... so...
