Made a new bread this afternoon. Just had a slice, and it’s hearty and wheaty tasting! Modified from my regular 100% whole wheat recipe that I based on the Walnut Whole Wheat Bread recipe from King Arthur Whole Grain Baking book. Ingredients 2 Tbsp Almond Oil (olive oil or any other vegetable oil) 2 Tbsp [...]

100% Whole Wheat Bread With Caraway & Poppy Seeds
Oh my, I baked bread this afternoon, and I am in love with this recipe! I couldn’t wait, I had to slice a piece! It was heaven. A big ole slice of heaven! I used the same recipe as the previous 100% Whole Wheat with Rosemary Bread, except that I swapped the rosemary for some [...]
Whole Grain Wheat, Rye, Oat Bread with Caraway Seeds
Oh gosh, have I mentioned how much I love the smell of caraway seeds. I bought a bag at Penzey’s yesterday, and they smell heavenly. I wanted to use them in bread, but I needed to find a 100% whole grain bread, as so many rye bread recipes are made with white flour. I found [...]
100% Whole Wheat Bread With Rosemary
Okay, after the semi-fiasco last weekend, I am determined to try to bake bread again, and succeed! I chose the Walnut Whole Wheat Bread recipe (with my own modifications) on page 188 of the King Arthur Whole Grain Baking book for my experiment this weekend. I had to forgo the nuts (since I didn’t have [...]
Bread! Another Whack at Bread!
Today I baked bread! Hmm it was about 90 ° and I decided to bake! Ha! But I’m glad I did! It was both positive and problematic, but I remembered “no failures, only lessons” – and I know I will get better next time with the lessons learned from this time. I couldn’t decide which [...]
Next Try – No Knead Whole Grain Bread
Well, I am getting better at this bread thang, but still not perfect. I followed the same whole grain no-knead recipe from before. Instead of wheat germ, I decided that corn meal might be a nice addition! And I did buy some vital wheat gluten. http://www.ginadepalma.net/news/Entries/2009/3/18_March_2009%3A_Madness_Descends.html It all went very well, until the towel. After [...]
100% Whole Grain No Knead Bread
Whoo hoo. Made my very first no-knead whole grain bread today. Started it yesterday afternoon around 1pm. Decided to follow the recipe over at GinaDepalma.net – I liked that it wasn’t just whole wheat flour, but also included rye, white, ground flax, & wheat bran (I used wheat germ). I didn’t have any vital wheat [...]
White Bread is the Devil
So, last night I baked that delicious loaf of white flour bread, and I had 3oz for breakfast topped with a touch of Olivio spread. I scrambled a couple of eggs for protein. By 10:30am (at work), I had a huge empty pit in my stomach; I was starving! I ate some yogurt, and soon [...]
No Knead Bread – My First Loaf
Whoo hoo. My first try at the NY Times (Mark Bittman) No Knead Bread. My Facebook friends were encouraging me to try this simple recipe, so I did a little bit of research online and I found a blog tutorial from Kaitlyn In the Kitchen, which gave me the inspiration and confidence to try it [...]
I Want to Start Baking My Own Bread
Yeah, I have made a few loaves of bread in the bread machine, but my recipes are boring and the bread machine doesn’t seem to be the best way to bake. I have been talking to other bread baking Facebook friends, and I really would love to bake my own bread, even if I use [...]
