The Bread Basket
A collection of simple to more complex breads that feature a variety of leavening methods is the key to hosting small family Easter celebrations. If you’re having trouble locating active dry yeast at this time, just know that traditional biscuits & corn muffins make lovely additions to any bread basket & use baking powder & baking soda. Look to Rebecca Gordon’s Cooking Class: Lesson No. 3 Flour for valuable tips on making substitutions, too. I think you’ll find it quite helpful. If a sliced bread loaf is desired, Rosemary-Olive Boule is a cinch to make & a fresh, modern selection that features a 5-minute preparation technique. Choose one or try them all, your family is guaranteed to enjoy each of them. Learn how to make these wonderful breads & rolls with my tutorials designed specifically with you in mind.
