Back to Baking

As luck would have it, one of the boxes I unpacked yesterday contained my Zojirushi bread maker. While I prefer to make no knead bread without a machine, the Zojirushi makes pretty good bread and is much quicker than doing it by hand. Since the bread machine makes it easy (and fun!), I've been experimenting; today I'm making a whole wheat bread with 1/2 European flour and including nuts and raisons. Yesterday I made cracked wheat bread (see photos) and used it for an open faced avocado sandwich. Can't wait to get organized enough to feel comfortable making no knead bread; I can already feel the added pounds:)

The bread machine!

Cracked wheat with slices of avocado;topped with tomato, feta cheese, spinach leaf, and fresh cracked pepper.

Uneven rise...

But tasty inside:)
