Classic Sandwich Bread
A few months ago we (and by “we” I mean “I” with Mike along for the ride rolling his eyes and shaking his head) started living a more chemical free life and looking for ways to embrace a more organic and sustainable way of doing things. So far in the game, it has been a …
English Muffin Bread
English Muffins with half the work? Sold! They toast just like English muffins and make a pretty good egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. The crumb has a solid structure and each slice is filled with those characteristic English Muffin holes. :) Recipe Source: Slightly adapted from Cook’s Country Magazine
Cinnabon Copy Cat… in a bread machine!
Oh yeah… Cinnabon baby! There is something about the smell of cinnamon rolls baking that is almost sinister. It’s like the call of the siren to the sailors of old. You can’t resist; don’t try. The best you can do is resolve yourself to just “tasting” the sugary, fluffy, cinnamony goodness. Oh, and taste you …
Bread Machine Challah Bread
This is the first time I have made Challah bread and bruddah it won’t be the last! I usually make all my bread in the bread machine anyhow. I never bake in it because I don’t like the way it bakes… but I sure do like the way it kneads. If you don’t have a …
Irish Soda Bread
I don’t know much about Irish Soda bread but what I do know from all that I have tasted is that… it is not all created equally. Some recipes are more dense than others, some have a hard crust, some are sweeter, some have raisins. I found a recipe for a terrific, slightly sweet, buttery, …
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
I was OK with the grocery store pita bread. I discovered it in college. I stocked the little dorm fridge with pita and some turkey and alfalfa sprouts and lots and lots and lots of diet coke. Pita bread wasn’t that expensive and I somehow came to think of it as health food (I know, …
Last Minute Pizza Dough for Great Pizza on the Grill
I wanted to share this pizza dough recipe with you before I forgot. It’s a great recipe and one that I know I will use over and over again. Mike and I used it last week when we made our pizzas on the grill. This recipe is perfect for midweek dinners when you are long …
Honey Oat Bread
Monday is bread baking day around here. I made this AMAZING honey oat bread and it was supposed to last us a couple of days at least. We ate half the loaf at dinner time, another big portion as toast with breakfast and will finish up the loaf at lunch. So, (note to self) when …
Easy French Bread
Easy. That’s a nice word. I like that word. Whenever I am given a task and it is followed by the word “easy” immediately, it ministers calm to me. Not that I don’t like a challenge, I do. Whenever we buy a new Suduko book, I immediately flip to the back and work the “challenging” …
Flour Tortillas
I grew up on these things! As a matter of fact we have them with every meal. Sometimes we would be out of bread but never, ever, out of tortillas. Even now I smile at the thought of my Mom fixing our school lunches only to discover that we were out of bread. It was …
