Chocolate Cherry Bread is a moist delicious dessert bread studded with fresh dark cherries and chocolate. This very bread is very easy to make and is so delicious with a cup of coffee. As many of you know I love baking with sourdough! This recipe uses one cup of sourdough starter which helps give it a wonderful texture.
Sourdough Cornbread made with Masa Cornmeal and topped with sauted veggies is so good served with a piping hot bowl of chili. Hidden in the bread is some sweet corn which give it a wonderful texture. In my thinking, cornbread must always be served with some diced jalapenos.
New York City Bagels in a tasty healthier version, Oh, yes, you can! These bagels are made using sprouted flour and instant yeast for freshly baked bagels in a little over an hour.
Bread is a prominent food staple in many parts of the world. It is one of the oldest man-made foods recorded in history. To many of us, when we think of bread, we think of white fluffy bread. But did you know that white bleached flour has very little value in it and really isn’t that good for you? But you can make soft, fluffy bread with nutrition value by using sprouted whole wheat flour.
Baked beans are a long standing tradition at barbecues, picnics and potlucks. In the off canning season I will pressure can quarts of baked beans to have on hand for the summer months. Homemade baked beans are so much better than bought and you can control what you put in them.
Naan Breads are a soft pillowy flatbread native to India and parts of South and west Asia. Yogurt is added to the dough t give it its unique flavor and soft tender texture. These breads are cooked in a special oven called a tandoor. However, you can make them in a cast iron skillet, too. The garlic and cilantro gives these breads a wonderful flavor. The soft, chewy texture is hard to beat. I will use these naan breads to make Fish Gyros with a yogurt sauce. So delicious!!
Focaccia is an easy to make flatbread bread that pairs wonderfully with a steaming hot bowl of soup or pasta. Sourdough Focaccia is the best because it has a soft chewy crumb that is hard to beat.
If you are on the line about sourdough, this recipe is one of the easiest to try. The toppings and spices can be varied to suit your taste. Just be sure to limit the oil to less than a teaspoon per serving to stay in an E setting.

Chicken and Dumplings are an old-time comfort food. These dumplings can either be baked or steam with the chicken filling. My family loves them either way. When you steam the dumpling in the chicken filling you get soft pillows of dumplings. The baked dumplings will have more of a crispy crust.
