Wow your eyes and taste buds with this Black Sesame Swirl Sourdough. It's easy to make black sesame paste with a spice grinder or food processor, and laminating two doughs together makes cool swirls. We also tested seed-crust "glues" and egg white did no better than water🌾https://b7p.org/tA3Gz

Bread notes from an episode of The Sporkful podcast: 6:05 A test of flour absorbency and ambient humidity; it's a measurable difference but minor. 23:15 Discussion about bread storage (balancing breathing and enclosure), freezing (double-bag), and reheating "starches best served at 60C/140F."

Sesame Flatbreads🌾No mess seeds that stay on the bread because of an application technique from our Lebanese Purse Bread recipe. Dip the dough in honey-water, then in the seeds, and finally roll the dough into a circle, embedding the seeds into it. ⁠

Given the choice between a quick bread and a sweet yeast bread, I tend to prefer the latter--the gluten chew and simpler ingredient list. Inspired by cranberry orange quick bread, here is a simple yeast bread with those fruit flavors.

I'd love to convince more people to make noodles from scratch -- that you don't have to be a rolling pin wizard to enjoy vibrant flavors, choosing ingredients, and the mindfulness practice of it all. Also, did you know that buckwheat is a complete protein, with all nine essential amino acids?

Enjoy crispy, chewy baguettes with the unique flavor and aroma of ancient einkorn wheat. We tested two ratios of strong bread flour and einkorn whole grain flour. Both options yield easy to handle dough and an open crumb. Give our recipe variations a try or use a different ratio of your choosing.

I explored adding buckwheat to whole wheat sourdough in two ways, as milled flour and as cooked groats. The combo of hard white spring wheat and buckwheat is so tasty and the crumb is soft and pliable in both scenarios. Choose your own bread adventure with more vs less blended flavor and texture.
