  • No Knead Bread

    My friend Nick over at Macheesmo is always raving about No Knead Bread.  So I decided to look it up.  It is a simple recipe with just four ingredients.  Flour, salt, water and yeast.  No Knead Bread was devised by Jim Lahey of the Sullivan Street Bakery in NYC. He devised a method that takes…

  • Garlic Bread Revisited

    I know I usually have drink recipes on Wednesdays, but this week I decided to make a special drink post on New Years Eve.  Thus, today I decided to post one of my favorite sides.  Garlic Bread.  I love garlic bread.  I like it crispy, crunchy and extremely garlicky.   Basically I like it so garlicky…

  • Cheese Bread

    Last year I went to a little diner in New Jersey called Mastoris.  They had this amazing cheese bread that I loved.  I wanted to recreate it, but unlike a standard cheese danish this had a bread-like texture.  It was more bread than danish.  So after a little searching online, I think I found the…

  • Buttermilk Biscuits

    I was making beef stew this weekend and I wanted to serve it over buttermilk bicuits.  So I looked all around the internet for a great recipe.  I decided to try one by Tyler Florence to see how it tasted. Due to lack of a biscuit cutter I cut mine into squares.

    English Muffin Bread

    Earlier this week Nick over at Macheesmo made english muffins.  This reminded me of the english muffin bread that my mom buys from the local Amish Community.  The bread is light and airy and toasts beautifully.  I wanted to recreate that bread.  Here is my shot at it. Unlike most bread dough’s you do not…

  • Sourdough Bread

    A couple of weeks ago I made a sourdough starter and ever since I have been getting emails about making bread.  I made pizza’s and pancakes but failed to make good ole sourdough bread.  So today I made sourdough bread. Sourdough bread is pretty easy, it just takes some time.

  • Sour Dough Starter

    When i was growing up my Dad always used to make homemade sour dough bread.  Since he is coming to visit in a couple of weeks I thought I would go down memory lane and make some sour dough starter.  It is really simple, but takes a week to get started.
