Brown Rice Bread Recipe
This is yet another example and variation of how you can add healthy ingredients to bread to make them not only more nutritious but also have a longer shelf life. Unless you are using a natural leaven (sourdough starter) homemade breads can go stale pretty quickly. But with the addition of beans and grains theContinue reading “Brown Rice Bread Recipe”

>Sweet Potato Sandwich Bread Recipe with Photos
> This is a variation of classic potato bread…the difference is that I substituted sweet potatoes for the white potatoes, used olive oil instead of butter, honey instead of sugar, and incorporated some whole wheat flour to give it a little flavor and texture.

>100% Whole Wheat Bread Revisited
> For the past year or so I have been experimenting with breads made with whole grains and/or 100% whole wheat flour…and I’ve discovered that it is a myth that bread can’t be light and delicious and still be 100% whole wheat. Actually, the flavor and crunch you get from whole wheat is incomparable toContinue reading “>100% Whole Wheat Bread Revisited”

>Lebanese Inspired Pizza

Party, err…Bake Bread Like It’s 1999
After not using it in nearly nine months I recently resurrected my sourdough starter. I’ve had plenty of starters but this is the original, named 799 as in July 1999, the month and year it was conceived. When it is bubbling and fully a live it is truly a beautiful thing to behold…yup it’s thatContinue reading “Party, err…Bake Bread Like It’s 1999”

Bread From a Fixed Oven
I have baked bread in some unconventional conditions. I once, for example, baked bread in an oven so old that the door actually fell off when I opened it…I held it closed with a chair until the bread finished baking. And for a year or two I baked bread in an outdoor oven in myContinue reading “Bread From a Fixed Oven”

Chickpea-Turmeric Bread
Yes…another bread experiment. This recipe is proof that you really can make bread out of what is at hand. Ever since I’ve discovered Ezekiel Bread I’ve really liked the flavor and texture of adding legumes to bread recipes (click here and here for previous posts on Ezekiel bread…with recipes), thus this is really just aContinue reading “Chickpea-Turmeric Bread”
