bread, rice, pasta, etc ok for composting?
Comments (36)"Jamb, say a big hunk of leftover Italian bread from last night's dinner fell into your dishwater when you were cleaning up. Say it was there for like three minutes and you put your thumb through it when lifting it out of the sink to put it on the sideboard until you could figure out how to dry it out and dispose of it. It's a lot like that. " I tried your recipe, but it made the bread taste soapy. It tasted much better when I soaked it in the rinse water instead. You might want to try it that way next time....See MoreArtisan Bread-my first try!
Comments (34)Looks great! I recently started making the no knead breads. They're so easy! I've made a white loaf and 3 whole wheat/white flour loaves so far. I used the recipe where you let the dough sit for 12-18 hours, covered, fold it over, let it rise 2 hours and then bake in a Dutch oven. I think I'll try the Asiago recipe you've posted. Thanks!

Comments (10)Lou, is braided bread Cardamom Bread? I braided that for Easter. Boy was that good! Theresa, I was looking at potato flour the other day but didn't buy any. I love potato rolls! I don't have a microwave cover. Finding a warm place in my cold-ish house has been a problem, but I accidentally discovered this "trick": I keep my cast iron pans in the oven; I had been removing the pans, heating the oven for 30 seconds before putting the rising bowl in. When I forgot to remove the pans, I think the oven stayed warmer longer. I've been leaving the pans in the oven ever since. And I love the idea that I was "ripening" all these years, p111og. Tricia, I've been adding wheat germ to almost all my breads. I have made oatmeal bread, too. I've added sesame seeds to some, caraway to others - not the kind you mean, I know, but I'll get to that. I'm going to have to work on keeping the serving size down. Nuts! I have two loaves of Honey Whole Wheat rising right now! I remember a while back there was a thread about keeping bread fresh in linen bags. Lou, you may have made some, but I could be wrong about that. My question: How long do linen bags keep bread fresh?

Comments (51)Very interesting responses! Mags438 I was totally laughing about your dog, that is a new one to me, a bread loving dog haha. Cindy Noll, does the SS drawer help your breads stay fresher? These comments have given me some good ideas. I find we will have tortillas, hoagie rolls, sandwich bread, take and bake breads, etc. and it looks so cluttered on the counter. Texas Gem my daughter has stopped eating sandwiches which creates the problem of what to give her for lunch. Hummus and pita, cheese and crackers, lunchmeat rolls, leftovers (if at home) or school hot lunch! I probably could give her mac and cheese, chili or spaghetti in a thermos, but most of my stuff is packed up still from out move (awaiting renovation). Sometimes she'll still take a peanut butter and honey sandwich. :)...See More- last month
