More Bread

i wish that i did not LOVE BREAD. i wish that i did not love EATING bread about 50 times more than making it. i wish that i did not want to eat MORE bread RIGHT NOW.

anyway. this is what we made today. (seriously. just today.)



Pissaladiere

it's like a pizza but french, i guess. it is just a bunch of caramelized onions piled on some old dough. (i skipped the anchovies on it.)


i clearly like it. i ate half of it before i even took a picture.



Banana Muffins

these muffins are good. the recipe is almost exactly the same as the recipe i would make at home.


but they have streusel topping, and that is very rarely a bad thing.



Irish Soda Bread

this is like a big scone with caraway seed and dried currants.


Cibatta

i love cibatta. it makes me want to go buy some cheese and tomatoes.



or i could just eat it plain.

it is better than panera bread.


i know at least one person who will be very jealous.


Sweet Potato Brioche

we made this dough with sweet potato puree added.

we made little ones that are rolled up with shallots in them. these are pretty good. i wish the flavor of the sweet potato was a little stronger.

and we made big ones.


the big ones have sugar cubes with orange juice and zest. the sugar cubes make syrup, but they are still crunchy. i think the sweet flavor compliments the sweet potato a little more.




i live in a pretty small apartment, and it is full of bread. this is the pile of bread where i live:




well, i really live in one pile of bread and one pile of shoes:


(and at least one pile of laundry, but i'm not taking a picture of that.)
