High Fiber Flax Bread
This bread was supposed to be a 10 Grain Bread using a recipe from Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. So the recipe called for a 10 Grain hot cereal and my mommy brain accidentally bought a high fiber hot cereal instead. So I used it anyway and the result was quite tasty!

Yeasted Banana Bread
So this is my first new recipe for the blog. I found myself with some rotten bananas taking up space in my freezer, so I decided that I would make banana bread today. And then I figured I should just do a bit of a baking day and bake bread today too...hmmm, which new bread to choose? Low and behold, I stumbled upon a banana bread recipe in Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes A Day! This was going way beyond my comfort level, seeing as it was on the sweet side (although used no sugar, just a bit of honey and the natural sweet of the bananas) and I have never done a yeasted sweat bread. But I decided that this would be the perfect first new recipe since the whole reason I gave myself this challenge was to find new recipes and try new breads! So here goes nothing!
This bread had mashed bananas, honey and walnuts in it. So it was super healthy. I put peanut butter on it with a side of Greek yogurt for a tasty, protein packed breakfast. And then as a bit of a desert, I put Nutella on it (this idea came from my hubby). It was delicious, of course, because what isn't when Nutella is added!

Perfect Crumb
I'm starting with a recipe that I've actually made a hundred times (cheating, I know, but it is my favorite). Regular old white bread. Delicious. Easy to rise. Perfect Grilled Cheese. Perfect Hole In The Toast. Perfect Sandwich. Perfect. I'll make other white breads I'm sure. But this recipe is easy and quick. And it is my Gold Standard. It is adapted from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes A Day, my favorite bread book because it fits with my life so well.
