Naan: the perfect dinner plate

Naan: the perfect dinner plate

I love bread, it’s true, I really really do! Lets face the fact that I’m always looking for ways to incorporate whole grain bread into my dinner plans. I recently discovered I love making naan at home, and it really is SUPER easy! You CAN do it!!! I’ve used naan like a flatbread for sandwiches, or more recently I’ve been using it for a quick pizza base! It’s delicious and I know…

Whole-wheat Sandwich Bread

Whole-wheat Sandwich Bread

Of course you can buy your sandwich bread, and most of the time I do.  Occasionally though (and more often now that I’m beginning to realize what sorts of additives and preservatives they use to increase shelf-life) I like to make mine at home.  Besides, it’s so simple and there’s really nothing better than the smell of fresh-baked bread straight from the oven. This recipe is an adaptat…

Pea & Herb Stuffed Indian Flatbread (Naan)

Pea & Herb Stuffed Indian Flatbread (Naan)

I love Indian food, but sometimes I think the thing I love the most at an Indian restaurant is the naan.  So when I spotted this at Healthy Delicious I figured this had to go on the ‘to try’ list. And she says it’s easy! Before you run away in fear from a post about bread, let me reassure you: this recipe couldn’t be simpler. It doesn’t involve yeast. You don’t need to knead it. If you have a grill…

Waffled Monte Cristo Sandwich

Waffled Monte Cristo Sandwich

The Monte Cristo is a legendary artery-clogging treat: it’s a breaded and deep-fried ham sandwich served with a side of raspberry jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Sounds amazing, but it’s not something I want to serve to my toddlers. Enter the waffle iron: I can make the sandwich fun and kid-friendly by making it waffly and healthy by avoiding the deep fryer. This sandwich will please a…

Spotlight: Make Challah Bread

Spotlight: Make Challah Bread

Reader Allison of Radishes and Rhubarb sends us this lovely recipe for challah bread, and how she had the revelation that making her own bread was a do-able thing. Some great insights here, and it’s totally inspired me to make my own artisan bread. (Especially because I think Challah bread would be great for Waffled French Toast!) The thing about bread making for most home cooks is that it is such a dau…

Irish Soda Bread

Irish Soda Bread

I rarely seem to make the same recipe twice.  Boredom mostly. But with corned beef, comes cabbage.  And with corned beef & cabbage comes Irish soda bread. This recipe is not the true Irish soda bread I remember from my youth.  There is no buttermilk or seeds in this recipe, and it is definitely more cakelike, and less baking-soda.  But it’s good.  Oh it is so so good. Maybe next year I’ll make…
