As some of you may know, I try to make a loaf of bread once a week. For the last year or so I’ve been making no knead bread as my go-to loaf. Betsy and I use this for sandwiches or toast throughout the week or just to snack on. Even though I completely love [...]

I got talked into baking something for Yeastspotting this week by my friend Nick over at Imafoodblog. Ok. So it wasn’t that hard to talk me into it. In fact, all he had to do was ask me if I wanted to submit something because, well, I like to bake.
