  • Bread no. 11 : crescent rolls Adjustments : I used just 3 tbsp of butter in the dough and the 4th to butter them before baking. Notes : we've always just bought the crescent rolls that you pop out of a can – I never really thought they were something you could make from scratch,…

  • Bread no. 10 : pizza crust (here's our recipe) Adjustments : zip, we've perfected this one for us. Notes : I'm racing through these bread posts because I have been making bread faster than I have been blogging it. We make pizza about once a week so I figured at least one of these crusts…

  • Bread no. 9 : pita bread Adjustments : I cut the recipe in half. Notes : Paul has been on a hummus making kick and we needed something for dipping. Turns out baking pita is practically easier than buying it. Review : good with hummus and good with peanut butter and seriously so easy. I…

  • Bread no. 8 : beer bread Adjustments : I substituted 1/2 C of white flour with wheat. Always looking to get more wheat. Notes : DUDE. I have never had beer bread before and stumbled on a recipe for some on Pinterest. Wanting to find a few more recipes I searched for "beer bread" within…

  • Bread no. 7 : focaccia bread Adjustments : I cut the recipe in half and substituted 1/4 C of white flour with wheat. I also cut the olive oil down a bit. Notes : We’ve made this before and were happy to revisit it. The plan was to save some for pesto chicken sandwiches, but…

  • Bread no. 6 : soft pretzels from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day Adjustments : I substituted about half the flour for wheat flour and instead of letting the dough rise over night in the fridge, I kept it at room temperature for about three hours. Notes : too much salt! I think I got…

  • Bread no. 5 : whole wheat biscuits from allrecipes.com. Adjustments : nada. I followed the recipe exactly & cut the dough into circles with an upside down water glass. Notes : This was my first run at biscuits that didn't pop out of a can. Easy! Review :  These were AWESOME the first day and…

  • Bread no. 4 : Chocolate Cinnamon Babka from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day. Adjustments : We were almost out of white flour so this was made with pretty much all wheat flour. I substituted half of the sugar with Splenda. And I melted the chocolate chips on the stove because I didn't want to…

  • Bread no. 3 : garlic rolls, adapted from this recipe. Adjustments : Two cups of white flour and about two cups of wheat instead of just white. Substituted splenda for the 1/3 C white sugar (but used regular sugar for the first water & yeast mixture). Used garlic salt instead of regular salt for the…

  • Bread no. 2 : soft cheese bread from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day. Adjustments : I know it's useless to share my adjustments without sharing the recipe but if you google, you'll find it. I cut it in half to make just one loaf. Then substituted wheat flour for half of the flour and…
