Anyhooooooooooooooo.....
While I haven't been blogging I have been cooking and baking. I've sat out on the last TWDs because I knew my husband wouldn't like them and I've gained five pounds between TWD and Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. Last night I did make next week's selection and will report on it next Tuesday.
One of the great things about having bread dough in the fridge is the opportunity to try new breads on a whim. I've been wanting to try pita for ages. I found it so cool to look through my grundgy (sp?) oven window and watch the magic happen.
and when it didn''t
The key is to roll the dough thin and even. When there are thick and thin places it doesn't get one big whole.
Here's a finished pita with a side of hummus. Yum!
Last week I had made up a batch of the Challah dough. Though I didn't get pictures, I made two loaves. One I gave to friends who invited us for dinner and the other I used to make french toast. To finish up the batch, which needs to be used within five days as opposed to two weeks due to the eggs and butter, I attempted Monkey Bread. It tasted wonderful and fed my husband for breakfast for a little over a week!
A few weeks ago my DH was out of town and I was feeling sorry for myself, so I treated myself to some organic figs I found at the Kingstowne Farmers' Market for an outrageous amount of money .
I topped each half with goat cheese and toasted some walnuts on the side then put the whole thing under the broiler for a few minutes. I felt much better after having these (all of them..........by myself....................because I'm worth it!!)

I like your idea of the figs. . wish I lived next door to you and could sample one!
don't forget to pick up your award from me on my blog.
Your bread looks fabulous! I got your note on zoebakes and wanted to come by to say hello. What a wonderful surprise to see that you had baked lots of bread from the book.
Thank you for your well wishes. No one was hurt and my oven can be fixed. ;)
