CHIPOTLE GARLIC FOCACCIA & ROMESCO DIP
“We may not be able to get certainty, but we can get probability, and half a loaf is better than no bread.” C.S. Lewis Made some scrumptious Chipotle Garlic Focaccia some days ago, & it’s begging me to get posted. The pressure of posts lining up is threatening to burst my drafts folder, as I struggle with this silly writer’s block. No time on hand is another matter altogether, & as I recently said to Judy (on Twitter obviously) – It’s a wonder we get anything done…half my recent life has been twittered away!! And then of course there’s always the Greek foodie, Peter, who twitters about wondering which post…

PIZZA WITH 5 MINUTES A DAY DOUGH…I’m a convert! Happy Earth Day too!
“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”Peter @ Kalofagas via Twitter Must begin my post by giving credit to the quote I grabbed the minute I read it. It belongs to the ‘Greek God of Food’, Peter. Check out his blog @ Kalofagas (you probably have already), to see what I mean. He twittered the quote a few days ago, & I leaped to it, asking him if I could use it, & he willingly parted with it. I never let a good quote opportunity pass me by. Thank you Peter! It’s Earth Day today. To quote Mother Earth News, April is officially Earth…

PITA + PANINI = PITANINI…Crossover bread!!
“The Sky is the daily bread of the imagination” Ralph Waldo Emerson There are 2 posts racing each other in my head at the moment, & I’ve got to panini first. The other one is about herbs, thyme & oregano, which I shall write about soon. Made Panini Rolls a couple of days ago, which I had saved off Nic’s blog @ Cherrapeno last year when she had posted them for Zorra’s World Bread Baking Day. I’ve been wanting to make them for a while, but while winter was here, all yeastly tales were done away with… Now with spring here, birds chirping, butterflies whizzing around, I’m back to my…

MOROCCAN HOLIDAY BREAD…BAKING FOR A WORTHY CAUSE… "YES WE CAN"!
“It isn’t bread that feeds you; it is life and the spirit that feed you through bread.” Angelus Silesius Moroccan Holiday Bread …The addition of maize meal & a cornucopia of seeds gives this superb loaf an interesting flavour & texture. Sunday morning woke up with a mission; BAKE BREAD! There was no meal idea in mind, the morning loomed large, the kids were out of bed & running wild…& I had to bake bread. While the kids squabbled over the remote & hot-house eggs (which I shall blog about another day), I emptied my bread baking bookshelf onto the table & wondered where to begin. Winter is almost here,…

ROASTED GARLIC ‘n’ CHILI BREAD & OLIVE OIL MUSHROOM BRUSCHETTA – 3rd World Bread day
“We have learned to see in bread an instrument of community between men – the flavor of bread shared has no equal. “Antoine de Saint-Exupery & It’s time to bake & talk about bread again…& this couldn’t be a better bread baking opportunity for me. Zorra @ Kochtopf is hosting the 3rd World Bread Day today, on October 16th. This is for Zorra…The original World Bread Day – an event created by UIB International Union of Bakers and Bakers-Confectioners – wants to provide an opportunity to talk about bread and bakers, to find out about their history, their importance as well as their future. Saw this great sounding Chili Loaf…
