Home Is Where The Cookies Are

Like tumbling-down-a-hill-after-a-pail-of-water head-over-heels. (If we’re talking bread here, is it “heals” instead of “heels”? – Nope. Just checked. Still “heels”.) I was battling myself all day long to stay away from it. Which is saying a lot, because I usually try to reserve at least one snack a day for intravenous sugar. Listen to this: “Low calorie. My brain is telling me there’s no freakin’ way. This little quick bread is too darn tasty to be that healthy. Of course, if you slather it in a boat-load of butter and honey like I did in the photo, the nutritional profile goes down the drain. But that was purely for the photo.

Crusty Bread

Instructional video for the Crusty Bread recipe. Crusty Bread 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour 1 3/4 teaspoons Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon Instant or Rapid-rise yeast 1 1/2 cups water In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast. I must begin by saying where the recipe originated, if in fact it originated anywhere...really. Remember before beginning to create, that this bread is highly forgiving. You do NOT have to have an enamel covered cast iron pot. You DO NOT need to oil the pot. In a large mixing bowl add 3 cups white unbleached flour. To the flour add 1 3/4 teaspoon salt (I use kosher I like it) and 1/2 teaspoon rapid rise or instant yeast. Whisk the flour, salt and yeast together. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Mix in the water. That's it! Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. And I’m not even kidding!
