Seeking the Perfect Homemade Whole Wheat: a Pause (and What’s Coming Instead)

March 10th, 2011 · 17 Comments · Uncategorized

Have you figured out the problem with this series? Giving up grains for Lent will pretty effectively stall it for a while. I was hoping to post one one recipe on Fat Tuesday, but for 3 days I stared down the Peter Reinhart process, it stared back at me, and I decided I was too [...]

Seeking the Perfect Homemade Whole Wheat: King Arthur Flour’s 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (no. 8)

March 2nd, 2011 · 34 Comments · Recipes

In high school one of my favorite breakfasts was a leftover baked potato and a glass of orange juice, eaten standing up a the counter. My mom and I used to joke that if you eat standing up, the calories don’t count (ha!). Anyone else like to have dinner leftovers for breakfast? How about in [...]

I was almost certain this recipe would be a bust. I’m glad my bad attitude didn’t taint the whole process, because I have to say I was thoroughly surprised and impressed by the end result. I’d often heard of people having bad experiences with the baking recipes in particular in Nourishing Traditions, and I always [...]

We have another serious contender! The Seeking the Perfect Homemade Whole Wheat Bread series is heating up! From my husband at dinner tonight: “Oh, my gosh, this is good bread.” I wish I would have taken a picture of his super thickly sliced, toasted, garlic-salted bread. It was just gone too fast! See what our [...]

I haven’t wanted to give a recipe a zero and tear up the paper and throw it in the garbage in front of the whole class since I started this Seeking the Perfect Homemade Whole Wheat Bread challenge, but this one just about pushed me over the edge. There I was, heart rate through the [...]

Seeking the Perfect Homemade Whole Wheat: Our Favorite “Happy” Rolls (no. 4)

Sometimes the answer might be right under your nose. I’m pretty sure this recipe is the winner so far in my book, and it’s one I’ve made for a few years now as rolls and hamburger buns. It’s featured as THE soaked bun recipe in the Family Camping Handbook. I found it at The Happy [...]

Katie’s Basic Bread Baking Techniques (or lack thereof)

January 19th, 2011 · 36 Comments · Do It Yourself

I come from a long history of amazing bread bakers, believe it or not. My Busia (Polish grandmother, 100%!) raised nine children and made all of her own bread, well over 5 loaves a week. Maybe 9? She kneaded it in a huge bread pan at her feet while she sat on a stool. I [...]
