Makes absolutely delicious bread!<br /><br />I thought you might enjoy trying out my aunt's graham bun recipe.. I've been baking them now for half a year, about a batch a week. <br /><br />There's a reason for why my aunt's family in Northern Finland calls them "addiction buns" as one can rarely stop at one, or two at a time; they've been baking them since the early 70's, but my aunt couldn't remember where the recipe originally came from. They're wonderful for breakfast, snack, etc. Allrecipes.com is so slow approving new recipes so I put it up at http://grahambuns.info (it's a no-frills website for now :D .. but the recipe is there).Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663754593008191457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-66915766458102642592010-04-06T12:55:30.966-07:002010-04-06T12:55:30.966-07:00My husband is huge into bread baking and LOVES the...My husband is huge into bread baking and LOVES the "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day" one.

My husband got that book 'make Artisan Bread in 5min a day' for me for Christmas and I still haven't made it yet. I am not much of a bread maker yet, but really want to start. I just need to get a container for my starter and then I can get my bread on.<br /><br />Let us know how the bread ends up turning out from that book. <br /><br />BTW - My hubby and I are big Lost fans and you are one of our favorite Characters.

I made my first sourdough from that starter the other day and it was possibly the best bread I've ever seen. If you send a self addressed stamped envelope to the address, they'll send you a teaspoon of dried sourdough. You have to re-start it but it is totally worth it! It was started in 1847 and has the best taste!

It includes all of the weight measurements (which was a quibble of mine with the first book, too!). And it's filled with tons of whole grain recipes (which was my other quibble with the original book, because I wasn't having great luck with any of their recipes that weren't mostly white flour, but everything I've done in the new book has come out wonderfully. And I'm kind of a whole grain nut.)Crunchyconmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05120098229031084328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-18378037774968104542010-03-22T14:24:31.646-07:002010-03-22T14:24:31.646-07:00Fabulous!Fabulous!nollyposhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205974328143335552noreply@blogger.com
