Always hungry.
It is Thanksgiving Week, day two! This is the most exciting day of this week for TheBetterHalf – stuffing! I talked about this in my post on Stuffing Bread (side note: make this bread immediately for your leftover turkey sandwiches! so good!), but TheBetterHalf LOVES stuffing. I mean he loves all food (we’re a good match), but I think he really gets the most excited about stuffing. …
Pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice are mixed into a traditional white yeast bread. This Pumpkin Yeast Bread is so light and fluffy – perfect for toast or sandwiches!
It is no secret that I’m putting pumpkin in everything these days. I talked about it earlier this week when I made pumpkin coffee cake. It is also no secret that I love to bake bread! Just look at all of these recipes. It is really one of my favorite things to do on a lazy Sunday. There is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread in your house. TheBetterHalf is pretty spoiled – I can’t remember the last time we had store bought bread!…
All the flavors of your favorite Thanksgiving stuffing baked into a loaf of bread!
Yes, you read that title correctly – Stuffing Bread! A loaf of bread that tastes just like your favorite Thanksgiving stuffing. Wow. When I saw this recipe on King Arthur Flour, I knew I HAD to make it for TheBetterHalf. He is a stuffing fanatic. Whenever we talk about Thanksgiving, all he can focus on is stuffing. But I have never actually made stuffing for him. See he likes his grandmothers special stuffing recipe, and I really can’t compete with that. But a loaf of bread that tastes like stuffing? That I can do! And it definitely gets his seal of approval. He declared this his favorite bread that I have ever made. Gold star for me!…
The first recipe that I posted on my blog was no-knead bread, and it is still one of my absolute favorite things to bake. I just love that with very little effort, I can have an amazing loaf of freshly baked bread any time that I want it! And there are so many different varieties, the possibilities are endless. I’ve shared bacon and carrot with you, and today I have a recipe for cranberry walnut bread. This might be my new favorite. The tart, sweet cranberries pair so nicely with the toasty walnuts. And it makes the best toast!!…
Labor day weekend is here! I always have such mixed emotions about this weekend – the end of summer is sad, but I LOVE fall. It is my absolute favorite season. I can’t wait for cooler temperatures, gorgeous fall leaves, and pumpkin everything! TheBetterHalf can’t wait for Notre Dame football to start (tomorrow!). But I will enjoy this one last summer weekend 🙂 I always love to bake bread when I have a little extra time on the weekends. If you are the same, I have a great recipe for you to try this long weekend! The name is kind of confusing – this is NOT corn bread. It is a fluffy yeast bread with cornmeal in the dough. It is very similar to white sandwich bread, but the cornmeal gives it a nice texture and flavor. There is just a hint of sweetness from some dark brown sugar, which I always love in my bread. We have been eating this bread all week for sandwiches and toast and have been loving it! The recipe comes from a great little bread cookbook that my aunt gave me, Beard on Bread. I have made so many delicious breads from this book. Hope you have a great long weekend, and Go Irish! …
