This is a traditional Newfoundland recipe which I found on BonitasKitchen.com. The original recipe was for 3 loaf pans (making 9 mini-loafs), which is generally too much for Carol and me so I made 1 loaf. I made the dough the night before and let it slowly rise overnight in the refrigerator before baking it Read More …
The daily bread of Morocco is a flattish loaf about 9 inches around. It is everywhere. This is my first attempt to make it based on a recipe in tasteofmaroc.com. It turned out very well although it was higher and less wide than the standard loaf in Morocco since I baked it in a ceramic Read More …

This is based on a King Arthur Flour recipe. The bread turned out well, but the top looked strange, as shown in the photo. I made deep 2 x 2 cuts in a hashtag (#) pattern, and it made the top look very segmented. The next time, I will make a simple cross-shaped cut. This Read More …

This posting is a product review. I bought a box of Alaskan Sourdough Bread Mix from King Arthur Flour, since it was on sale. I mostly followed the instructions with a couple of enhancements. I let the dough rise for 2 hours, formed it into a ball and gave the dough a second rising of Read More …
