Curly-Swirly Bread

Beautiful…isn’t it. Two bread doughs rolled into each other, giving it a curly-swirly look (for some reason every time I type the phrase “curly-swirly” I have a desire to listen to the song Hurdy Gurdy Man). Anyhow, one of the doughs is made with a puree of fresh roast red peppers and the other containsContinue reading “Curly-Swirly Bread”

I’ve posted recipes for this bread–or variations of it–in the past on numerous occasions, but the two most popular are here and here.

Ezekiel Bagels and a Loaf of Bread

Today at work I made Ezekiel bread for the simple reason that I like making it and it is my favorite bread…and I believe it is exceedingly healthy. What was different with today’s bread was that I made half of the dough into bagels. Now many bread bakers may disagree with me, but I findContinue reading “Ezekiel Bagels and a Loaf of Bread”
