Half & Half Whole Wheat Bread (Machine or Hand-made)Well it's NEARLY half and half (whole wheat flour and white bread flour.) This makes a 2-pound loaf of bread though you can bake it in two 1-pound loaf pans and freeze one..or smaller pans as you wish. At high altitudes, decrease yeast a little (1/2 teaspoon) and increase water (1 to 2 tablespoons.) |

Cornbread WafflesNecessity is the mother of invention. In this instance I am going into the second month of home remodeling life without a kitchen. We either eat cereal, eat out or use small kitchen appliances to cook or heat up food. When given a container of homemade chili recently, I decided to try cooking my favorite cornbread recipe in the… |

Whole Wheat and Rye Bread with Sunflower SeedsWhole wheat and rye flours combine with toasted sunflower seeds to make a flavorful bread with an even grain and chewy texture. Small loaf pans are ideal for baking if the end purposes are hors d'oeuvres, sliders, or open faced mini-sandwiches. To save time I used a bread machine on its dough setting for the preliminary mixing and… |

Ciabatta Bread IThe first of two ciabatta bread recipes I am trying out - this first one is from Fleischmann's Yeast. It is rated "Advanced" in difficulty and I agree! It was challenging and involved - plan to be around much of the time of day you make it, as there are four 45 minute risings to supervise. The dough is tricky and sticky. I did like… |

Leftover Oatmeal Raisin Nut MuffinsLeftover cooked oatmeal joins basic quickbread ingredients to make a delicious batch of muffins. Rather than wasting excess cooked oatmeal, freeze in measured batches for using up in baked goods such as this recipe. It's surprising what a win/win this can turn out to be. |

Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins (with bread machine dough option)Whole wheat, bran and honey - a perfect threesome! Regular hamburger buns and even bread slices at times have too much bread volume for me, so I often turn to commercial sandwich thins. When I tried this recipe from breadworld.com it enabled me to have… |

Overnight Refrigerator Yeast RollsRefrigerator yeast rolls are the answer to busy days and holiday dinners. Divide the roll making process into two days and three steps: make, shape and bake! This is based on a recipe from bhg.com, which has a few variations using this method (see "Useful Links" below). I stayed fairly close to the original recipe, though lazy me,… |

Molasses Rye Dinner RollsOoh la la...these are wonderfully rich rolls. Just think about it...whole rye flour, molasses, orange juice and chocolate! Yes, you read correctly, choc·o·late. These make for a perfect addition to any meal. Word to the wise, make them into dinner rolls or one loaf. I made them into sandwich rolls once, too rich this way. If… |

Cottage Cheese Dill BreadWe don't eat bread often. However when the weather begins to change and it starts getting cooler it seems spark me into wanting to make bread. This is a good bread with almost anything. It is great for the Holiday season. It freezes very well. If you are not a fan of strong dill flavor forget this formula. My wife and I both… |

French Bread by Traditional Yeast Method (no bread machine)Experimenting with several ways to get a good loaf of French bread without using my bread machine, I am ready to share this version over all I tried. It has a chewy crust and a beautiful fine grain. While my bread machine version (see "Useful Links" below) takes only about 5 minutes of active chef time, this recipe requires perhaps 35… |
