So I can't give you a recipe becuase this was kinda fly by the seat of my pants. I let my hands tell me when the dough was right and I didn't measure or weigh anything. It was kind of an accident. I made some whole wheat sourdough starter build for some whole hweat sourdough bread and left it fermenting in the fridge too long. So I decided to bust out the yeast and make a loaf of whole wheat yeast bread instead. My husnand really liked this whole grain honey wheat his mom had the other day so I went for an oatmeal honey wheat. Came out beautifully. Should make great breakfast bread and it's got a magnificant honey flavor with just a hint of cinnamon in there(which is barely distinguishable-I think I only taste it because I know it's in there)very happy with my loaf. trying to upload pics....not working out but will keep trying
My Name is Michelle and I am new here. The past few weeks I have taken a shine to baking, especially yeast breads. I started making fresh pizza dough a while back but never did find the perfect recipe. I have searched thru many websites and tried more recipes than I can count. I started to become intrested in make some yeast rolls for a WV pepperoni roll craving of my husbands. Found a few ok recipes for yeast rolls but stumbled upon an italian bread recipe that I kinda liked. Then I hit buttermilk biscuits. We don't have a panera bread here like in FL and I had some asiago cheese I needed to use so I went in search of a copy cat panera bread asiago cheeese bagel recipe. That's when I found The Fresh loaf. I read in awe thru the handbook and started making a sourdough starter and some poolish. I have tried my hand first at a ciabatta. amazing! then today I made some asiago rolls, to die for. now I have a ocuple bagettes in the oven! I am amazed by the whole process and enjoying learning as I go. Plus my family is pretty happy about it too!
