After reading the title of this post you may have either one of two reactions. If you are a fellow bread freak you may be saying to yourself, “What?? Who is she kidding? That is so last decade. Mark Bittman wrote about Jim Layhey’s revolutionary no-knead bread in 2006! Every food blogger worth her salt has reported [...]

Asparagus Milanese French Toast for Dinner
Posted in Bread, Eggs, tagged asparagus, Bread, eggs, french toast on April 30, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Tonight’s dinner was inspired by a long ago and almost forgotten memory. My daughter is spending the year travelling the globe and early this morning she texted me from Berlin. “Apparently it’s white asparagus season here. It lasts for 3 weeks then goes away. It’s a big deal. Thought you’d like to know.” Believe me, [...]
#36. Stollen and the visual learner.
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge, tagged Bread, Challah, Dried fruit, Holiday Breads on April 11, 2010 | 10 Comments »
Who knew that a German fruit filled bread could demonstrate my learning deficiencies so clearly? As I read through the recipe for Stollen, this week’s bread in Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice, I knew that I had a real challenge on my hands. I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to [...]
#35. Confessions of a Bulk Food Store Snacker and Sunflower Seed Bread.
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge, tagged Bread, Sourdough, Starter, Sunflower Seeds on March 24, 2010 | 6 Comments »
This is the last bread in the sourdough section of the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Book. I will be a little sad to say goodbye to the sourdoughs. Baking them has been a new and thrilling experience for me. I must admit, sunflower seed bread did not really sound like a loaf you want to go out [...]
#34. Memories of Open Window Bakery
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge, tagged Bread, Pumpernickle, Rye, Sourdough, Starter on March 17, 2010 | 11 Comments »
The 34th bread in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge is Pumpernickel Bread. I just love saying “Pumpernickel”. The word always makes me smile . It makes me remember Saturday night dinners when I was growing up. We would have sliced Pumpernickel Bread from Open Window Bakery (in Toronto), creamed cottage cheese and several different types of smoked [...]
#33. Poilâne-Style Miche
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge, tagged Bread, Miche, Poilâne, Salt, Sourdough, Starter, Toast on March 10, 2010 | 7 Comments »
This week in the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge we tackle Poilâine-Style Miche. When it comes to artisan bread, the name Poilâine is synonomous with excellence. Bread freaks from all over the world travel to Paris to purchase bread from the Poilâne family. Pierre Poilâne started a baking business in 1932 in Paris, creating bread using stone-ground [...]
#30. Basic Sourdough Bread – My Bread Bat Mitzvah
Posted in Bread Bakers Apprentice Challenge, tagged Bread, Bread Bat Mitzvah, Dried fruit, Sourdough on February 12, 2010 | 17 Comments »
There is a right of passage in the Jewish religion known as a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. When a young boy turns 13 he has a Bar Mitzvah and we say “Today you are a man.” For girls the age is 12 and it is called a Bat Mitzvah (we mature faster!). I feel that making [...]
