Be advised not to mistake this post as instructional. It is merely an account of my small adventure. I am a novice at baking bread, and although most of my attempts have been acceptably successful I still find the process a bit intimidating. I guess that’s why I don’t bake bread very often, and why … More Serrano Chile Bread
I am a novice bread maker. When I attempt to bake bread the results are usually acceptable, but it is a surprise when they turn out exceptionally well. I tried my hand at baking flatbread and I am very pleased with how they turned out. I consulted several naan recipes to get ideas for ingredients … More Whole Wheat Yeast Flatbread
What to post or whether to post anything at all is, no doubt, a conundrum common to all bloggers. For instance, I could mention the simple meal we had yesterday of steamed baby yellow squash from the garden, wild poke greens, Mediterranean chickpea patties and baby potatoes topped with Greek yogurt seasoned with arugula pesto. Or … More Savory Banana/Butternut Squash Bread
I don’t usually eat much if anything for supper. If I do it is just a few nuts early in the evening. Well, last night Faye made this fabulous Curry Leaf Bread by Monica Bhide of Modern Spice. I won’t publish the recipe she used here but you can find it at the above link. … More Curry Leaf Bread

As far as I can remember the ratios of flours were 2 parts whole wheat, 1 part rye and one part all … More Part Rye Rosemary Bread
It was time to bake bread again today. Instead of warm water I used warmed up buttermilk to make the dough for this mostly whole wheat bread. I used some of the dough for pizza crust so instead of using a regular size loaf pan I made a couple mini loaves.
Today was bread baking day again. We don’t eat a lot of bread but we like to have it on hand for the occasions we want a sandwich or toast to go with breakfast. If there is bread leftover from the last bake I slice the bread and cut the slices into small cubes … More Bread Day
Sorry for flooding the blog with little mini posts. It’s just that we have some very important medical appointments in the next couple days and I may not be around much. Meanwhile… Have you ever gone to any lengths to ensure, sneakily or by fisticuffs, that you were the one to get the crust or … More The Best Or Worst Part Of A Loaf Of Bread?
Took a break from sourdough and made a loaf of bread using active dry yeast.
