Delish! 101 Cookbook's Easy Little Bread w/ whole wheat and oatmeal

[traca]

My housemate would like to add: it needs more salt. The recipe called for 1 1/2 tsp sea salt. I used 2 tsp Kosher salt. Next time, I'll try 2 1/2 tsp.http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/easy-little-bread-recipe.html

Girl, you been bit by the bread bug. I know the feeling. Fun, huh?

Steve, I've got it bad! I haven't bought bread from the store in 3 months. So far,

I've landed on two recipes my housemate and I like a lot, but I'm hoping to get to the point where I have 5 or 6 recipes we agree on. (She likes toast w/ jam, so savory breads are out..for now.) smileys/smile.gif

It's really hard to go back to store bought after that. Now you've got a gluten on your back! Are

you doing overnight risings yet? Makes a big flavor difference. Next thing you know, it'll be sourdough and then you'll spend the rest of your life sleeping by the oven hoping to achieve optimal "oven spring". I feel your pain.

No overnight rises yet, but in my enthusiastic state, I made two different recipes yesterday!
