Ah, friendship bread. Let’s be honest: it’s like a chain letter. But since I end up with this: I say it’s okay.
Let’s start at the beginning. Don’t have anyone dying to give you some starter? You can make your own (recipe found here):
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 [...]
A couple months ago I bought the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking. It’s nigh onto life changing.
Have you ever looked at the clock and realized it’s 5:00 and you were going to make a loaf of crusty bread for supper but now [...]
Oh my moly.
Can one addition change a really great recipe into a really amazing recipe? You bet your Red Rider it can. Especially when that one addition is a bag of Craisins.
I started with the recipe for super simple bagels. You remember this, right? Flour, water, yeast, salt. I said they were simple! [...]
I’ve so long been intimidated by bagels. I mean bagels. A staple of NYers past and present. The extent of my NYC experience involves dragging a ridiculous number of kids through Grand Central Station and into Times Square, and having unheard of amounts of fun doing it. Toys R Us anyone?

I know, I know. You’re thinking, “Artisan monkey bread??” And now you’re humming “One of These Things is Not Like the Other.”
Oh that’s just me?
Anyhoo…
I bought Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. And it’s awesome. Great concept, especially for those of us who are prone to thinking, at 5:00 in the evening, [...]
Do we all remember my Pain de Mie fail? Cute, right? Well this is what happens when you actually have a pain de mie pan:
Square bready goodness.
Following this recipe from King Arthur Flour (I know, you’re shocked), I let the bread rise to within about 1/2 inch of the top of the pan, [...]
The Kiddo loves this bread (that’s it in the header up there). That alone earns the recipe a special place in my kitchen. Plus, it’s EASY, and so good! Store bought bread no longer compares — this is the good stuff.
I actually don’t stray a bit from the KAF recipe, so I’ll let you follow [...]
