#369 (on my way to work in the morning)…A canvas bag containing a couple books and writing implements, 3 plastic buckets of different sizes…the largest of them containing a whole wheat preferment made with an  additional seven grain mix and its cooking liquid,  the other containing a whole wheat autolyse with a few tablespoons ofContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#369 & #370)…and how I turned them into bread (recipe and pics)”

100% Whole Wheat-Honey-Brown Rice Bread

This bread is another example of whole wheat bread that is not only really delicious, but super nutritious as well. That’s them pictured above after just being placed in the oven…beautiful, aren’t they? It is easier to make than the recipe may seem at first glance, and the resulting bread is as soft and airyContinue reading “100% Whole Wheat-Honey-Brown Rice Bread”

How to Make a Really Delicious and Nutritious Deep-Dish Pizza (and a loaf of bread, too)

Pizza is one of my favorite homemade comfort foods to make (click here for additional pictures and recipes). And while many believe it to be time-consuming and somewhat laborious–or even difficult–to make, it is neither. It’s basically bread dough with stuff baked on it. Thus, when I bake pizza at home I usually make twiceContinue reading “How to Make a Really Delicious and Nutritious Deep-Dish Pizza (and a loaf of bread, too)”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#356), a Recipe, and My Morning Commute

Things On The Bike: A plastic bucket with raw bread dough, a canvas book bag containing various things (including–oddly–a couple tulip bulbs), and a Rolling Stone magazine.

Back to the Basics

Today was the first time I’ve baked bread at home in probably two months. This is mostly because it has been so hot this summer I didn’t want to heat up the kitchen. My kitchen at work is already hot so I’ve been baking it there (making the dough at home and carrying it to-and-froContinue reading “Back to the Basics”

A Rather Interesting Bread Recipe

OK, so if you’ve been to this blog before you probably realize a few things–that I like cooking, bread making, and bike riding–but also that I have sort of eclectic tastes, meaning I have never really been one to stay “inside the box.” Anyhow, this is a good segue to this rather odd-sounding bread recipeContinue reading “A Rather Interesting Bread Recipe”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#247)…and a recipe

It’s the first time I actuallyContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#247)…and a recipe”

They’re Not All Perfect…

…but they’re still really good. What I mean by this is that even when you have homemade “bread problems” the result is usually going to be better than something you’d buy at the supermarket. The above loaves are good examples of this. While I was preparing to make tomato sauce today I decided to purgeContinue reading “They’re Not All Perfect…”
