Light Rye Bread

Do you like to bake your own bread? I know I do!! Only recently, did I start baking with rye flour. Being that it's a low(er) gluten flour compared to bread flour, I was a bit intimidated by it. Of course, I imagined the worst: little to no rise, or a sunken loaf. Of course, none of that happened when I baked this lovely Light Rye Bread from the King Arthur Flour website. I did make some changes to the recipe which you'll find at the bottom of this post.

Light and fluffy texture!

Eight-Grain and Seed Pan Loaf

I love visiting my library and going home with a stack of baking books. Most of the time, I browse and read through them, the way "other people" read through novels. Sometimes a recipe catches my attention and I have to bake it ASAP. One of those recipes is the Eight-Grain and Seed Pan Loaf from the book Bread Making by Lauren Chattman. I made it twice already and the second time I took (more) pictures and wrote down my changes so I could post it on my blog.

Chock full of grains and seeds. Yum!

Some of you may be familiar with a monthly online baking event called Bread Baking Day (#BBD) started by Zorra. This month's BBD (#58) is hosted by Cindy. This month's theme could not have been more perfect: Breads with Seeds and Flakes. I was happy to oblige :o)
