Naan issues
Forums:
This evening, on a Bhangra-fueled whim, I tried making a bunch of Indian food. I made Zeera Murg (Cumin Chicken), Saag Paneer (Spinich with Cheese), a Basmati Rice / Red Lentil Pilaf, and Naan.
It wasn't bad, but I didn't think the meal came out great. What should you expect when you turn to that classic of Indian cooking, The Joy of Cooking?
Nevertheless, here is the naan recipe I used. If anyone actually knows something about Indian food or culture and has recipes to share, I'd love to hear it.

Struan Bread
Keyword:
In the 15 years since I first tried Brother Juniper's Struan Bread, I've tasted a lot of great bread, but I still don't think I've tried anything that makes as great toast as Struan Bread does. Nor have I tried any bread is so universally enjoyed: everyone who tries it agrees that this bread makes killer toast.
It isn't bad for sandwiches either.
I have to admit though that this bread occasionally gives me nightmares. Click "Read More" to learn why.

Rolls, Manakish Zaatar, 'n' more
The Orlando Sentinel ran a feature on Hard Rolls, which included recipes for Basic Crusty Rolls, Mini Bolillos (Mexican Crusty Rolls), and Overnight Honey-Lemon Whole Wheat Rolls.
MSNBC ran an article on Manakish Zaatar, the herbed Lebanese flatbread pictured to the right. Recipe included.
The Washington Post had an article on how master baker Didier Rosada, coach of Team USA in the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie, has been lured back East to run a 39,000 square foot artisan bakery.
In Norway, a bakery employee has received death threats over the decision to sell a bread that advertizes a rival soccer team.
The Times Leader ran an article on things to do with stale bread, such as make bread crumbs. I know I find myself baking more bread than my family is capable of eating.
One to make real artisan bakers weep: The fast food chain Jack in the Box has introduced what they are calling The Bacon 'n' Cheese Ciabatta Burger. Not "Bacon and Cheese Ciabatta Burger" mind you: "Bacon n Cheese Ciabatta Burger."
