No Knead Refrigerator Bread

It has been said that man cannot live by bread alone. Obviously, that was said before I was born. It was also said before the advent of no-knead refrigerator bread. Let me explain: I eat the crust part of a piece of pizza. And I love it. I get kind of sad when I see rejected crusts on a plate. The bread basket at a restaurant always puts me at risk of being too full for my main course. Especially if thereʼs some sort of ﬂavored butter. You know how some people remove the top bun of their burger or sandwich and just eat the sandwich open-faced to reduce carbs, or something like that (a foreign concept to me)? The other night, I deconstructed my half-eaten pulled pork sandwich and ate the bun alone, leaving the rest of the sandwich exposed (mind you, it was a brioche bun, so I think I get a free pass one this one). Usually, when Iʼm so obsessed with something, I try to ﬁgure out a way to make it at home (Usually, it doesnʼt happen. But at least I think about it). However, making bread at home can seem like a daunting task. […]

Brie and Chive Biscuits

I love bread. I love rolls, I love baguettes and I love biscuits. What I don’t love are those little pillow-ey dinner rolls that you get at the grocery store, that so many people buy for Thanksgiving out of convenience. I am all for convenience. Huge fan of convenience. But since you’re reading my blog, you’re getting my opinion and my opinion is: don’t waste your calories, money or precious holiday dinner table real estate on store bought rolls. Instead, bake a fresh batch of biscuits and if you’re feeling really adventurous, add chives and cubed brie to the batter before you cut the dough for baking. I spotted this idea on Real Simple, so I took my favorite biscuit recipe and added cubed brie and about two heaping tablespoons of chives. These were great but unlike many rolls, that you can make in advance and keep in an airtight container until the big day, you should probably bake these off the morning that you plan to eat them. Or better yet, prepare them, pop them in the refrigerator on a baking sheet wrapped tightly in plastic and bake them off while you’re slicing the turkey. Save Print Brie & […]

Whole Grain Wheat Sandwich Bread

Ever since I got one a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for my birthday, I’ve been developing excuses to bake everything from chocolate chip cookies to this whole grain wheat sandwich bread. Chocolate chips in the cabinet leftover from my holiday baking binge? Better turn those into cookies, STAT. Out of bread? I suppose I’ll just have to make some rather than risking the trek across the street to the corner market. I pulled this recipe from the manual that came in the box with the stand mixer, figuring that if I was going to lose my bread-baking-virginity I should probably stick to careful instructions. The result was a loaf of bread that looked, and I quote a friend, “weird…it actually looks like real bread.” What I learned from this endeavor is that anyone can bake bread with the right equipment and a little patience.
