I’ve been working on my bread making skills. Slowly but surely its coming along. I like the New York Times no-knead bread. It’s simple and super tasty.

I love this book so far! I made the basic whole wheat recipe for my first batch. This recipe only contains whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, water, wheat gluten, yeast, and salt. I also sprinkled a few poppy seeds on the outside after brushing with water.

I was amazed how little actual prep time is required. There is no kneading, you just mix the ingredients, and then do a lot of waiting for the dough to rise and rest (minimum 2 hours 40 minutes), before baking 30 minutes. My loaf came out perfect on the first try, with a hearty crust, and a nice flavor despite the simple recipe.

The book also contains a full range of other recipes, ranging from simple to complex.

I can’t bake bread to save my life. Even with the bread machine my sister gave me, the bread still doesn’t turn out. LOL. That’s okay though. I am too busy lately to have the time for baking.

oops, I didn’t even notice the Shape reference in your entry–posted my comment before I’d read your post! Anyway, looking forward to hearing more on Monday…and yes, weight loss is certainly never easy!

I'm for sure a bread EATER and I do bake bread using my bread maker but very rarely do it by hand. I love homemade bread WAY too much. My waistline would balloon in a week if I baked homemade bread. I'm a carb lover. .-= Joanne´s last blog ..Whine for Wine =-.

I love roasted beets. I use the rds haven’t tried the white.
I’m going to go look for Shape next trip to the store. The book looks interesting. I have been using the recipes from King Arthur flour to make bread. They come out great and are not hard to do .

I think it will be roasting for the first try, as that is my fall back for anything new, pretty much

I’m not much of a bread maker, but I’m a beet maker! How are you going to prepare yours?

Also, I LOVE my foam roller, too It always hurts so good.

I have the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day and have made their basic recipe many times. It is really good bread (but takes more than 5 minutes!) Your reference to parsnips makes me wonder if you read Angela's blog. Her recent post regarding parsnip fries looks very intriguing. These Fries Will Change Your Life

I am obsessed with beets! You’ll love them. I think. They are quite sweet.

I can’t wait to see you in Shape! I’ve made bread once. It was successful, but labour intensive. Hopefully my new roommies have a stand mixer so I can do it more often
