Khubz with high fiber flour

This is a higher fiber variation of Khubz , the Arab equivalent of pita.  This recipe makes 6 flatbreads (vs. 12 for the original Khubz recipe).  They turned out well, but were not very extensible.  I may next time increase the water a little.  (High fiber flour is thirsty.) 142 g. high gluten flour 142 Read More …

Milk Bread

Milk bread is popular in Japan and is a moist and rich loaf which is very good for sandwiches, etc.  Milk bread is different from standard western breads because it starts with a cooked starch paste, which allows the loaf to have a higher hydration while still being manageable.  I recently saw an article in Read More …

Khubz

Khubz is the Arabic cousin to pita.   This version is adapted from Imad’s Syrian kitchen.  It can take as little as 2 hours to make a batch, or it can take longer if the fermenting dough is put in the refrigerator for some time (which has the advantage of improving the flavor).  This will make Read More …

Cathead Biscuits

These are large drop biscuits which could be eaten with butter and jam or with sausage gravy for a classic Southern breakfast.  This is an adaptation of a recipe in the Richmond Times-Dispatch sized for 2 servings.  The original used a 50/50 blend of all-purpose flour and cake flour to get a very low protein Read More …

Focaccia with Keto Flour

This is my first experiment using King Arthur Flour’s “Keto Wheat Baking Flour”, which is an ultra high fiber substitute for all-purpose flour.  (Of the 14g of carbohydrates in a ¼ cup, 10 g. are dietary fiber.)  I made a small focaccia to accompany an entrée salad, substituting about a third of the bread flour Read More …

100% Red Fife Sourdough Boule

This is an adaptation of a recipe in Peter Reinhart’s Bread Revolution.  It uses a heritage wheat, Red Fife, which I got from Anson Mills in South Carolina.  It turned out very light, which is an achievement for a 100% whole wheat bread.  I also liked that there was no need to discard any dough Read More …

Because of the smaller size, the baking time was lower.  For the oval boule, it was baked for 20 minutes with a lid and 15 minutes without the loaf.  The loaf was baked for Read More …

Lina’s Focaccia

My granddaughter Lina and I made this focaccia for New Year’s Eve based on a recipe in the America’s Test Kitchen’s cookbook for young bakers.  It is a rather stripped-down recipe, flavored with olive oil and salt, and omitting common focaccia toppings like garlic and rosemary, but it was a hit with children and adults Read More …
