Well it was my first try at a soaker and biga. Whoo hoo! I followed a recipe from Peter Reinhart’s Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor I followed the Multigrain Stuan recipe on page 102. Actually I shouldn’t even be calling them recipes, (thanks Pen!) they are actually called “formulas” I started out very [...]

Recipe: Ginger Lemon Muffins (Made with Fresh Ginger)
UPDATED 2011-05-11 These ginger lemon muffins were a big hit! They are light, healthy, and bursting with fresh zesty ginger flavor! The fresh ginger requires a bit more work, but it’s worth it!
Most Delicious Flavorful Whole Grain Bread!
I’ve been experimenting for a few weeks, and I think I’ve found the trick to making delicious flavorful bread dough. It’s easy, but it’s time consuming, taking about 2 days to complete. You can use any whole grain/whole wheat bread recipe, but reduce the yeast amount to 1/2 or 3/4 tsp. Here’s what you do:
Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I found the book Muffins & Quick Breads (Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library) at the library a few weeks ago and after browsing through the many recipes, I found so many that I was excited to try! A lot of the recipes were lower in sugar, and that was even better. I searched for it on Amazon [...]
Whole Wheat Oat Bran Raisin Muffins
Baked some yummy healthy muffins this afternoon! I’ve been dying to try some of the recipes from the book Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook: The Best Recipes from Southampton’s Favorite Bakery for Homestyle Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Muffins, and Breads. I found it at the library months ago, and copied a few of the recipes I wanted [...]
Whole Wheat (fresh) Apricot Nut Bread

So, I googled, and would you believe most of the apricot/banana bread recipes use “dried” apricots. These were [...]
100% Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread (with Dark Chocolate, Nuts & Sunflower Seeds)
I got two larger zucchini squash this week in my CSA share and I decided to try baking a zucchini bread. To add a little extra flavor & nutrition, I tossed in wheat germ, dark chocolate, walnuts and sunflower seeds too. Yum! DH is not a fan of zucchini, and he even thought it tasted [...]
First Bread Dough Kneaded By Hand
INSPIRATION from the Kitchen Bootcamp – this month’s challenge is yeast breads. I tried to think outside the box and try something new…very timely since I think my wonderful (and old) bread machine died this morning. I don’t know if it’s recoverable, we’ll see if DH can fix it. The ingredients were in the machine [...]
Whole Wheat Rye Sunflower Caraway Bread
I found a great “cooking challenge group” called Kitchen Bootcamp. The challenge this month is yeast bread, so I’m trying to bake out of my comfort zone. It’s tough because when I bake bread (twice a week), I just don’t have the time to experiment with new techniques, but when I realized my loaf pan [...]
