Yesterday was hot and very humid today but I made it Bread day anyway and spent most of the day making the weeks bread. 3 loaves and a batch of tortillas :)
New rolling pins and pastry cloth. The pastry clothe is a wonderful freecycle find and I got the rollingpins from a fellow farmers market vendor who makes them on his lathe. I had been wanting a french pin for some time now. The pasta cutter was just for fun, altho it might actually help make them a little straighter :)
For the Cinnamon and Herb breads I used a basic recipe ...
Basic Bread
1 1/4 c water (room temp)
1 to 2 T honey1 t salt
1 T oil3 c flour
1 1/2 t yeast
1 to 2 T honey1 t salt
1 T oil3 c flour
1 1/2 t yeast
Use dough setting on machine, remove, add extras, shape, put in pan and allow to rise (about 45 mins). Bake at 350 deg. small 1/2 size loaves around 20 minutes, large full size loaves 25 to 30 minutes.

Your day was well spent baking beautiful bread. It looks so good. The tortillas are perfect.
I will try your recipes.
Thanks for sharing!
Have a wonderful day!
Oh my goodness, I come in from the garden grab a snack, high dollar rip off little bag of Doritoes and a piece of chipotle cheddar cheeze "need ice tea" and what do I see for the first blog of the day, your breads and tortillas. I gotta make those tortillas.
Checked out the links and your story how your mom made them for you. Your breads look beautiful. And you scored on those rolling pins : )
Thank you so much for the recipes. I'll get it down pat and I won't buy another rip off bag of chips again.
thanks, linda
