A couple of people asked me for bread books recommendations, so I thought I’d do a series of review of the books I own, starting from the very first bread book I ever bought – “Bread:baking by hand of bread machine” by Eric Treuille.
This is a great book, and looking at it now writing this review, I am realising how many more recipes I want to try from it.
Read a full review with detailed explanation of the book and its recipes on my blog here
Lazy Sundays call for fresh home made bagels – I couldn’t decide which ones to make “Jalapeno and Cheddar” or “Cinnamon and Raisin” – so I made both :)
I’ve had a few months break from baking – having a little one takes a lot of your time!! No matter how many people tell you, you won’t know till it actually happens to you.
Anywho, the little monkey is asleep and I can update my blog with the recent bakes, got a bit of a backlog to get through.
Today’s post is about lemon cupcakes – I know its not bread, but its baking, so I figured that its worth blogging about - link here.
I apologise for the pictures in advance, I only have my iPod to take photos with, and they are not that great.
I seem to be going through a “dud” phase – two below the average sourdoughs in the row. Tried a multigrain rye, and it was a disaster, all grey inside and looks like a brink. Another rye this morning – same problem, haven’t cut it yet, but it doesn’t look promising.
To cheer myself up I’ve decided to make a pie – can’t recommend a better way to cheer you up. Wonderfully tangy and full of blueberry goodness, it was gone in less than 5 hours :)
