Two Loaves of Ezekiel Bread, a Spinach Pizza, and a Mechanical Malfunction

I haven’t posted a recipe for Ezekiel Bread in a while, but it is my favorite bread. The picture of the pizza above and the bread below were both made using the recipe that follows. Interestingly, Ezekiel Bread recipes are still one of the number 1 ways that new visitors find there way to thisContinue reading “Two Loaves of Ezekiel Bread, a Spinach Pizza, and a Mechanical Malfunction”

100% Whole Grain Bread (recipe, photos, info)

As many of you know, I like bread. A lot. I enjoy making it, but more importantly I enjoy eating it…and I do not believe it makes you fat. I could easily be a poster boy for the high-carb diet…I eat bread, pasta, or rice at nearly every meal and am well within my properContinue reading “100% Whole Grain Bread (recipe, photos, info)”

Whole Wheat French Toast with Pineapple Syrup and Caramelized Apple

This is a simple-to-make hearty and flavorful breakfast, and it also happens to be my son’s favorite (somewhat of a Saturday morning tradition). French toast can be made in any number of ways, but the key to a really good one is great bread and flavorful syrup…of course the syrup can be purchased but itContinue reading “Whole Wheat French Toast with Pineapple Syrup and Caramelized Apple”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#376)…and how I ate it for dinner

A cardboard box containing two freshly baked loaves of whole wheat bread and a piece of raw dough. Interesting, when I think about it…I made the starter for the dough last night, mixed the dough this morning, and took it to work with me to bake. But as I was panning the dough I hadContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#376)…and how I ate it for dinner”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#369 & #370)…and how I turned them into bread (recipe and pics)

#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. My Morning Commute: The lower of the above photos is the view I see from my handlebars on my morning commute nearly every morning; it’s at this intersection.Continue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#356), a Recipe, and My Morning Commute”

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

A canvas book bag containing, among other things, books, pens, mechanical pencils, and a day planner (and yes, you can see by the wetness of the bag that it was raining–my least favorite element to ride in–tomorrow it is supposed to be snow again).A loaf of whole wheat bread. 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…”
