Tassajara Heidelberg Rye

It's Molasses Madness this week!

I made this loaf a few months ago, my family really enjoyed it. I don't know what makes it "Heidelburg Rye", but it's a beautiful loaf, another recipe from The Complete Tassajara Cookbook.

Tassajara Basic Bread With Molasses

All this autumn weather this past week has made me think of molasses. I grew up with this lovely thick black liquid, we had it in Molasses cookies (my father's favourite) and drank it in milk. So I thought "Why not use it to make bread?"

I decided to use the Tassajara Basic White Bread recipe, substituting molasses for the honey. It comes out nice and brown, like rich cafe au lait.

 This, and other yummie yeasty things can be found at Yeastspotting!

Virginia Light Rolls

Thanksgiving was Monday, and fresh homemade rolls are always on the menu!

Sour Cream White Bread

Normally I have a picture of a whole loaf to share with you, but within 2 hours of making this bread it is as you see it, 2/3rds eaten.

Hamelman's Pullman Bread (Pain De Mie)

I don't actually own a Pullman Loaf pan (way too expensive for something I'll rarely create), so they were made into two smaller loaves using the King Arthur low gluten bread pans I received as a gift.
