This easy whole wheat flatbread recipe really takes me back to my roots as a recipe developer. In my early days as a blogger, I was developing a lot of recipes to use whole wheat flour as a part of my journey towards eating whole foods.
My whole foods journey is an ongoing process. I’m easier on myself now than I once was. However, I still find that I feel better when I make baked goods with whole wheat vs processed flour. Continue reading

When I was making this bread, I wanted to use up as much zucchini as possible. I knew that was going to make a really heavy and dense bread loaf, not your typical fluffy “banana bread” style quick bread. Continue reading

Recently, I was gifted a large bag of spent grains. Spent grains are the leftover grains and malts from brewing a batch of beer. Spent grain still has a lot of flavor and can be reused as flour. I used some of my spent grain to make these honey spent grain dinner rolls!
If you like to brew beer, you may find yourself with plenty of spent grains to experiment with. Simply dehydrate the grains, and grind into flour using a food processor. Continue reading

Banana bread is a comfort food for me. It was something that we made frequently when I was young. I learned how to make it by helping my mom and sister in the kitchen. Every time we had leftover bananas, it was time to make bread!

I like to form my dough into two cylinders or rolls, tapping in the ends as I go to keep the roll even (See photo >>). Cut each roll into 6 portions, being carful to keep its shape. I find this is easier than rolling each dough portion into a ball.
