Bread Recipes

I am continuing my research on home made bread.  I have done a lot of Sourdough and Potato Bread.  Tonight I am working on a new recipe that I created using yeast, sourdough starter, honey, butter and yogurt.  I will let you know how it comes out. I can tell that dough was magnificent to work with and the aroma from my oven is fantastic!

If it all works I will post the recipe later.  If not I will let you know what I would change.

Breakfast with Leftovers

When I talk about using leftovers for breakfast most may think of Pizza,  But that is not what I mean at all. Clever use of some left over food can make a great breakfast.

Potatoes - Use left over baked potatoes as hashbrowns or cottage fires.  I also slice them up add some onions and fry them.  Today I did that - added some scrambled eggs and cheese and rolled all of that into some flour tortillas for a wonderful breakfast burrito.  Add salsa and you have a hearty breakfast.

Roast Beef - makes great Roast Beef Hash.  Add a poached egg and you have a tasty substitute for Corned Beef Hash. This worksd great for Dinner too!

Left over bread - beside French Toast, make breakfast bread pudding with Cinnamon, raisins and brown sugar.

Vegetables can make great omelets or fritattas

Use your imagination and breakfast does not have to be boring or the same everyday.
