Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

Cornmeal blueberry muffins

These were very good muffins. I liked the addition of cornmeal and whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat), and the fact that they weren't too sweet. the recipe calls for 2/3 cup of oil which I thought was too much for 12 muffins so I reduced to 1/3 cup and added some extra water. I also used less blueberries with good results. Baked 20 min st 450 convection.

Power packed bean bread

This was a great way to use beans in an unexpected fashion. I used chick peas instead of the navy beans specified in the recipe. I liked that this recipe used whole wheat flour as well as white flour. I do feel that the calculation for the salt is off in this recipe since the bread was too salty even though my beans were home cooked without added salt. For anyone making this recipe keep this in mind especially if you are using canned beans. Other than that this bread was excellent, it rose well and had a nice crumb and crust. Baked in bread machine but would work as a conventional loaf too.
