BBA: Pane Sciliciano

This boys and girls was the first of what I am going to assume to be many three day breads.  Yes you read that right from start to finish three bloody days.  Although actually it was pretty easy since Heather did most of the work and I spent my time plopped in front of the […]

BBA Pain a l’Ancienne

Yeah for more bread baking (please sense sarcasm)….
I think this dough may have gone into favorite dough category because it freezes well and is ready to go within a couple hours after defrosting.  None of this defrost, bring it to room temperature, and now do a rain dance while clucking like a chicken for 14 […]

BBA Pan De Campagne

Another week another bread.  Hmmm….yep starting to sound like a broken record.
Wish I could sound more excited about this bread but damn it is more bread and really hard to brag about it.
Heck to keep it exciting we have gone to posting out of order.
Anything else I can brag about???  Oh yeah I did my […]

BBA lavash crackers

Another week another bread.  Actually if you are following along you will notice that we manage to skip the kaiser rolls.  This was intentional because making an entire batch of kaiser rolls for two people just seemed impractical.  However, they will be made in a couple weeks for a buddy’s bachelor party that I have […]

BBA French bread

Another flipping bread post….man they seem to never end.  How to sell the bread?  Hmm…it is bread and it is delicious that good enough?  Oh wait it has a crispy outside and a chewy inside.
I am so lazy writing about this bread that I debated waiting a day and making this a Wordless Wednesday post……………….

If […]

BBA: Italian bread

Another weekend which means two more breads in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice challenge are done.  I wish all we did was bread but it felt like from sun up to well past sun down we were constantly tethered to the kitchen or garden.  Heck here is the just what I remember we did:

 Canned 19 more […]

BBA Cinnamon Raisin

The only interesting item that happened with the cinnamon raisin bread is that we ran a little experiment while making it.  Heather always used measuring and everything I read (remember virgin baker until this bloody Bread Baker Apprentice) was you weigh everything.  However, during the course of the last couple breads we have found that […]

Focaccia with caramelized onions and parmesan cheese

Woo hoo time for another weekly installment of “As the Bread Proofs” (please read that sentence using your best cheesy soap opera monologue guy voice)….
Without fail we had to make focaccia on the freaking hottest day of the year.  Since we are two foodies trapped in a kitchen we decided it would be a great […]

BBA Cranberry Walnut Bread

Another week in the joy and joyness of bread baker’s apprentice.  Truthfully if I did not commit to do every recipe in the book I would have skipped this one.  I like cranberries and I like walnuts but ehh the bread just sounded ehh…boring.  Now the english muffins, focaccia, pizza dough, and baguettes those definitely […]

BBA Cornbread and English Muffins

There is a good amount of joy and joyness that comes from dating a fellow foodie and more joy if that foodie happens to also be a blogger.
Here are just a couple differences:

Previous dates would look at me weird when I bust out a camera to snap pictures of food I have just cooked.  A […]
