I am so happy. My request for a copy of the Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients came through from my local library today. I have the book in my hot little hands! It comes at no better time too, as I think [...]

Cookbook Review: The Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum
I am sad because it’s time to return my copy of The Bread Bible (by Rose Levy Beranbaum) to the library tomorrow. Even though the book concentrates on white flour instead of whole wheat flour, I learned so much from reading the Bread Bible. The first 91 pages are full of so much good information [...]
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 [...]
Semi Homemade Pizza
The other day, I bought a ready-made “Rustic Crust” brand thin pizza crust. I know it’s not completely homemade, but the list of ingredients were very good: Unbleached/Unbromated Wheat Flour, Water, Natural Culture, Semolina Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Sea Salt, Honey, Yeast, Organic Soy Oil, Olive Oil. Yes, it’s white flour, but it’s pizza! Come [...]
