For those of you who want to bake bread in a cast iron Dutch oven, there is so much misinformation out there that I wrote Lodge to get the low-down. Here was the reply: Hi Myra, Thank you for taking time to inquire about this. The black seasoned…

Honey Wheat Bread

Honey Wheat Bread by myra byanka

This easy prep bread requires a few minutes of kneading, but bakes into a beautiful loaf that I like to make tuna or chicken salad sandwiches with, or just have as toast at breakfast. It will last in the bread box up to 3 days. Easily doubles and freezes.

Almost No Knead Pizza Dough for Untra Thin Crust

Almost No Knead Pizza Dough for Untra Thin Crust by myra byanka

I've been reading books lately on pizza, searching for a thin crust recipe. While Chicago- style is great, I also like pizza with very few toppings and a cracker-like Neopolitan crust. After trying several recipes, I saw one the Pioneer Woman demonstrated on tv which is perfect. I'm sure all the kneading and other stuff people do to…

Sourdough Bread (San Francisco Style - No Yeast Added)

Sourdough Bread (San Francisco Style - No Yeast Added) by myra byanka

If you're not a sourdough baker, what follows may be tedious. I know the yeasts my starter ("Wild Thing") caught in Texas are not the ones native to the Bay Area, but this bread tastes just as good.

Buttermilk Sourdough Biscuits

Buttermilk Sourdough Biscuits by myra byanka

Fabulous recipe I found in "Southern Living" recently. If you want to start your own starter, see links. I only use mine every few weeks or so, and it's still fine after 2 years. I just take it from the fridge, pour off the liquid that forms at the top (hootch), and feed it.

Arab Flatbread (Manakeesh) for Pizza and More

Arab Flatbread (Manakeesh) for Pizza and More by myra byanka

I happened upon this recipe from "The Arab Table," and by accident discovered it makes a terrific, super-thin pizza dough, but only make it if you like the type of dough that bakes to an almost cracker consistency. My oven only goes to 500 degrees, and I can't find my baking stone, but it turned out great, like it came from a…
