My 23 year old son is home from his job as a cruise ship musician. He plays saxophone on a huge ship traveling all over the world. When he returns for a little time off, I try to treat him to his favorite foods and breads. Today being St Patrick's Day in the US, I'm certain he is singing Irish tunes at one of Milwaukee's many Irish Pubs. I thought some of you might appreciate the humor in the picture he just sent me. Apparently some one gave him a slice of home made beer bread so he asked for the recipe.
Hey All,
Just wanted to share with you my recent bake from 3/10/10. These are improvised graham flour boules. I didn't have a lot of graham flour laying around, so I made it up out of stuff I had in the kitchen. Enjoy!
I am dedicating these to dmsnyder who demands a crumbshot!

Does anyone have a good receipe for Sub Sandwich Bread. My family loves home made subs but I'm never satisfied using the traditional white bread recipe. I love it with meals, or, a great snack with butter, but, not with subs....
Thank you!
Bake, bake and bake, the time passes and you demand more, you want more, you are more exigent.
A couple weeks back, Shiao-Ping picked up a new book and did a nice review on it here. I was intrigued by what I saw and ordered a copy from Amazon which arrived early this morning.
After seeing quite alot of blog entries from my fellow bakers regarding French Flour I thought i'd share a pic of this loaf made earlier today. I spent last weekend in France so picked up some Pain de Campagne flour (Francine) from the massive Carrefour Hypermarket outside Caen. I have used it and Francines white flours before with good results though they are more expensive than the flour I buy in the UK. Total flour weight was 550grams + rye starter and around 350ml of water.
After looking for a pizza peel for home use I decided to try and make one after getting a cheap (£2) non-stick baking (cookie) sheet from the UK store Wilkinsons, only trouble is that now i'm in the dog-house for shortening a broom handle for my baking toy!. Cheers, Steve
Maybe some of you saw this recent Onion feature and thought, "I know someone like that . . ."
How about a little test for deciding if your enthusiasm for breadmaking is a cause for alarm:

a. Feed myself (1 pt)
b. Feed myself and my family (2 pts)
c. Feed myself, my family, and the family next door (4 pts)
d. Feed myself, my family, the family next door, and all my co-workers (10 pts)
After seeing and reading about Qahtan's Guinness Chocolate Cake and how delicious it is, I had to try it. Documenting my try, which was made with Murphy's stout rather than Guinness (it's what I had) are these pics:
It turned out of the pan beautifully, Hooray!
