Day Twenty-Seven: Whole Wheat Pita Bread
2008-01-28 03:45:00 Oh, flatbreads. You should know by now you have a special place in my heart. There’s something magical about you that just can’t be replicated with any other bread. And pitas! Oh, pitas are some of the most magical breads there are! Do you know any other breads with pockets ... More About: Wheat , Twenty , Bread
Day Twenty-Six: Lemon Blueberry Muffins
2008-01-27 18:25:00 Since the pan dulce was a bit too sweet and crack-like to really make a good breakfast bread, it was obvious I needed to make something else we could easily grab and eat first thing in the morning, when in a rush to get ready. A lot of times, muffins are the answer. ... More About: Lemon , Twenty , Muffins , Fins
Day Twenty-Five: Vietnamese Bread
2008-01-26 14:42:00 The anthropology of food has fascinated me since well before I knew that’s what it was properly called. I’m a great storer of trivia; I can tell you all sorts of interesting1 facts about a variety of subjects, but yet out of three things I meant to get at the grocery store, have ...

Day Twenty-Four: Pan Dulce
2008-01-25 14:30:00 You know how you’re not supposed to play with your food? Apparently, I still haven’t learned not to do that. This recipe for pan dulce was nothing short of inspiring. That beautiful cookie dough-like topping, shaped into perfect little discs meant to top each individual bun! You’re supposed to carve something ... More About: Twenty , Dulce
Day Twenty-Three: Medium Rye
2008-01-24 15:11:00 This isn’t a loaf of pumpernickel. It wanted to be, but like a princess pretending to be a commoner for a day and thinking she knows what it’s like, it’s a faker that’s far too refined to even approach the coarse, earthy delights of the real deal. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a ... More About: Twenty , Medium
Day Twenty-Two: Amish Sour Cream Bread
2008-01-23 15:03:00 Ignoring for a moment the idea that a website full of Amish recipes seems somehow odd, this recipe for Amish sour cream bread looked very intriguing. At its heart, it’s a cornbread recipe, but it’s a cornbread recipe with a difference. It’s light and fluffy, and it also doesn’t have the nasty aluminized ... More About: Twenty , Bread , Cream
Day Twenty-One: Weetabix Muffins
2008-01-22 14:37:00 I’d like to think that what separates a muffin from a cupcake is largely its health factor. Cupcakes, while tasty, are usually not very healthy. Muffins , on the other hand, can be very healthy, but the emphasis is on the can in that sentence. And of course, there’s always taste to consider. ... More About: Twenty , Fins
Day Twenty: Simit
2008-01-21 14:44:00 They eye you appraisingly, these tasty seeds From a plate full of Ayla Algar’s recipe Such promising rings of goldenest brown Come off like the prettiest things in town You spend lots of time; use a cup of molasses Roll out your dough caref’ly with multiple passes Until, at long last, your oven preheats And you sit back and wait for your ...

Day Nineteen: Pain sur Poolish
2008-01-20 15:28:00 We had exciting dinner plans yesterday, so it was of paramount importance that I choose a bread that would go well with them. Floydm’s recipe for pain sur poolish seemed like just the thing. I could have broken it into smaller loaves, but I really wanted one big crusty loaf, so I didn’t. It’s a ... More About: Pain
Day Eighteen: Barley Bread
2008-01-19 15:01:00 I never, ever would have thought I would have had cause to complain about nigella. I mean, Nigella is awesome. Unfortunately, the seeds which share her name are very, very sneaky, chameleonic things. Nevertheless, I was quite sure I’d be able to find them fairly easily; I’m lucky enough to live near ...

Day Seventeen: (Mi finga la) Tiella Gaetana
2008-01-18 16:32:00 Up until now, I hadn’t made a stuffed bread for this project. Granted, we’re only a couple of weeks in, and I’ve got the better part of a year left. But since I’m me, I decided that it needed to be done now. This may or may not have been influenced by the ... More About: Seventeen
