  • 40 loaves / oatmeal sandwich bread.

    Bread no. 21 : oatmeal sandwich bread by summer harms. Adjustments : halved the recipe, used brown sugar instead of molasses & may have used a bit too much white flour because I was short whole wheat. Notes : baked like a charm. Summer's recipe was perfect. I think mine might have turned out a…

  • 40 loaves / whole wheat bread.

    Bread no. 20 : whole wheat bread from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day Adjustments : halved the recipe. Notes : this was supposed to be cooked in a hearth oven with steam. I was a bit too lazy for that but did cook it on a pizza stone. Review : I am on a…

  • 40 loaves / banana bread.

    Bread no. 19 : banana bread Adjustments : per usual, I swapped out a cup of white flour for a cup of wheat. I also reduced the sugar by another quarter cup so just 1/2 C of brown sugar was used. Notes : I've already done banana bread, but this loaf needed to be made…

  • 40 loaves / cinnamon pull apart bread.

    Bread no. 18: cinnamon pull apart bread Adjustments : I had to use a lot more flour than what was recommended to keep my dough from becoming a sticky mess. I also substituted about a cup of wheat flour for white flour. And even though it was encouraged to use a cup of sugar for…

  • 40 loaves / naan.

    Bread no. 17: naan Adjustments : I used about a cup of whole wheat flour and two cups white flour. Notes : I got about 13 dough balls out of the recipe and ended up brushing these with butter on the "uncooked" side while they were on the skillet and then sprinkling with garlic salt.…

  • 40 loaves / cheese rolls.

    Bread no. 16 : cheese rolls … my own invention! Adjustments : I spent ages (a.k.a. 10 minutes) looking for a good cheese roll recipe online and nothing seemed right. While they're fabulous, I didn't really want Brazilian cheese rolls. I just wanted wheat bread rolls with a cheese center. So I decided to make…

  • 40 loaves / cherry & rosemary focaccia bread.

    Bread no. 15 : cherry & rosemary focaccia from the Martha Stewart July issue. Adjustments : halved the recipe & used whole wheat flour instead of white bread flour. Notes : this turned out a bit denser than I was expecting – almost like a cake – possibily because of the wheat flour or because…

  • 40 loaves / walnut bread.

    Bread no. 14 : walnut bread. Adjustments : halved the recipe, added 1/4 C dried cranberries and subsutuited vingar and milk for buttermilk. I also didn't chop the oats in a food processor because that seems like a lot of work for little reward. Notes : I've made this a few times. Notably, last Thanksgiving.…

  • 40 loaves / whole wheat banana bread.

    Bread no. 13 : whole wheat banana bread. Adjustments : no walnuts & added a bit of cinnamon. Notes : I didn’t measure my bananas … used 2 large ones. Not sure if that is more or less than the 2 cups the recipe called for. They also were not super ripe (had spots but…

  • 40 loaves / blueberry bread.

    Bread no. 12 : blueberry bread Adjustments : no walnuts and I used about 1 C of white flour and 1/2 C of wheat. Notes : this was a post-dinner-what's-dessert? type of bread which is why the photos show it already half eaten. Review : good, good. But I'm pretty sure this recipe is just…
