So I love bread. Any bread,any shape,any flavor. I love the stuff plain,with butter,with olive oil,and with cream cheese. I could live on the stuff. So, when I started this crazy mission I didn't realize how hard it would be to find good tasting affordable organic bread. Let me rephrase that-it's not difficult,it' impossible. So in order to feed my addiction I decided to make my own. With my organic unbleached white and organic whole wheat flours in hand I've been experimenting all week in the kitchen. The results have been DELISH!! I've made a whole wheat sandwich bread that we all had PB&J's on,Two different bageuttes ( one all white one 1/2 white,1/2 wheat) and tonight I'm making ,wait for it........bagels!! Yup that's right. I'm making organic bagels. Again I've used 1/2 white 1/2 wheat. Then I split the dough in thirds and am making some plain,some cinnamon raisen, and some onion(my favorite).Won't know until tomorrow if they're any good,but I'm having fun so far!
Now I'm not a baker. I love love love to cook,but baking is a different ballgame all together. It requires measuring and a level of percision that I usually have no patience for. But lately my need for good wholesome organic baked goodies has over-ridden my dislike for the 'rules'of baking. So here I am in the kitchen covered in flour,praying the yeast will rise!
As I trod clumsily along on my journey I'm discovering new exciting things about myself,my kitchen and my family.I'll let you know tomorrow how the bagels turn out!
