BBA Challenge #13 – Focaccia

by Ivete on October 7, 2009

in BBA Challenge, bread

“Better than the focaccia from a restaurant.” That’s what Adam said when he took his first bite of this bread. And he’s totally right! When I took this out of the oven I could hardly believe I’d made it myself . . . it looks beyond professional! And it really wasn’t very difficult at all.

BBA Challenge #12 – English Muffins

September 10, 2009
English muffins

Do you have some food items that you’ve not only never considered making from scratch but that you don’t even think of as something that gets made at all? As in, “this food item just exists”? Like take Eggo’s for example. Or better yet: Twinkies. Same with English Muffins. I’m [...]

I’ve had a crazy week at work getting ready for next week, which is full of even more craziness . . . so something had to be sacrificed, and frankly I’d still rather cook (and eat!) than blog. I did make these fabulous buttermilk drop biscuits this week when we [...]

BBA Challenge Bread #9 – Cinnamon Raisin Walnut Bread

August 4, 2009
Cinnamon Raisin Walnut Bread

When I saw that this week’s bread was another sweet one, and one with raisins in it (raisins are #2 on Adam’s most-hated list, #1 being licorice), I knew immediately that my coworkers or neighbors were going to be enjoying the fruits of this week’s labor. Luckily it turned out [...]

BBA Challenge Bread #8: Cinnamon Rolls!

July 30, 2009
Cinnamon Rolls from Bread Baker's Apprentice

It’s really random that Elissa ended up making cinnamon rolls when I was supposed to be making them for the BBA Challenge . . . but it means two posts about almost the same thing, very close to eachother! I thought we could do a compare and contrast between the [...]

Moving right along in my apparent quest to bake all breads at least twice, I tackled Casatiello for the second time this weekend. You may remember that I pretty much hated this bread the first time, but this time, done right? It was amazing. The texture was exactly what you’d [...]

Success! Holey Ciabatta!
For the “officially-scheduled” Ciabatta week for the Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge (I just squeaked in under the wire by making this yesterday!), I decided to go with the mushroom variation. I’d actually already made the regular Ciabatta recipe during the Artos week because Artos required the same poolish [...]

SUCCESS!
I’m sure you all remember (you do hang on my ever word, right?!) that my first try at the Anadama bread for week 1 of the BBA Challenge was a complete failure. What I haven’t told you yet is that I actually tried again only a week later and on [...]

Before I go into my usual rambling description of the bread, let me first summarize: WOW!
This week’s BBA bread was Challah and my husband was so excited when he found out! I, on the other hand, was nervous. My previous attempts at making challah left a lot to be desired, [...]
