cornflakes with raisins and almond milk; grapefruit
smart dog on the last of the beer bread that was in the freezer, topped with spinach, yellow mustard, and prepared horseradish; jonathan apple, part of it sliced with prepared horseradish spread on the slices
i baked two loaves of bread: another variant of the molasses beer bread, and herbed everything bread. in the beer bread i used a bottle of my friend’s homebrewed vanilla porter, which gave it great flavor, but then i underbaked it (i’m still going to eat it though). the everything bread is a variation on the rosemary-garlic bread recipe that i posted a link to the other day, but i think i’ve changed it enough to call it my own, so i will add it to our recipe library. click here for the recipe.
- 1 1/2 c water, warm but not too hot to hold your finger in
- 2 1/4 tsp yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 c whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp salt
- about 1/4 c herbs (i used fresh rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 tbsp of everything toppings (i used minced garlic, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and sea salt, but would have liked to add dried onion flakes and caraway seeds if i had had them)
in a large bowl, mix water, yeast, and sugar, and let sit until fragrant and foamy. add flour, salt, and herbs, and knead for 10 mins. oil the bowl and let sit, covered, until doubled in size. mix olive oil and garlic and set aside. punch down dough and stretch/flatten into a square baking pan (i did this to maximize the surface area on top, which will be covered with the garlic and seeds, but you could also use a loaf pan). score top of loaf. let rise again, covered, until doubled in size. meanwhile, preheat oven to 350. pour oil/garlic mix on top of loaf. sprinkle on the seeds and sea salt. bake 20 mins.
lots of fresh-from-the-oven herbed everything bread with pitted black olives and molasses beer bread with wild blueberry preserves (central market organics brand)
at mother’s cafe & garden: really good chips and salsa; 1/2 small garden patch salad; 1/2 bbq tofu entree which comes with black eyed peas and sage mashed potatoes; 1/2 piece of peanut butter chocolate pie
