Uuummmm...WHERE DID AUGUST GO!? Seriously, that was the fastest month on record. I feel like I was just sitting in this exact spot typing up a similar post just a few days ago. I want to thank all the amazing home bread bakers that joined us in filling up our August #BakeYourOwnBread basket high and proud during that whirlwind of a month. There are so many amazing breads and rolls that I want to try. I'm sure my actual baking will never catch up with my dream-land baking...but I'm definitely going to have fun giving it a go!
Our Featured Bread Blog from last month, Hefe und mehr, is written by an extremely talented bread baker named Stefanie. And surprise, surprise, I had the hardest time narrowing down all of the recipes that I wanted to make into one recipe that I had the time to make. Oh, but it was a goodie. And one I will make often. Or be driven crazy by the begging for more. Remember, our featured bread blog is optional...but if you get a chance, I hope you'll join us. It's always fun delving into another blogger's archives to draw inspiration. And every blog we feature is packed with a variety of bread recipes!
For more info on the BYOB-FBB and to find out September's featured bread blog scroll down below the linky.
Until then, let's take a look at the bread that was baked from Hefe und mehr during August.
1. Connie from My Discovery of Bread baked some Flaxseed Triangles (inspired by this post).
2. Karen from Karen's Kitchen Stories baked beautiful Pain de Beaucaire loaves (inspired by this post).
3. Joyce from Kitchen Flavours baked these lovely Yoghurt Sesame Rolls (inspired by this post).
4. Heather (me) from girlichef found a new favorite in the two-toned Cocoa Rolls (inspired by this post).
And now, I look forward to everybody joining us and helping us to fill up our September bread basket.

I'm filled with dream-land baking, cooking, cake decorating and more. I look at this beautiful bread and think of all those posts I've read about hydration percentage and this bit and that bit and I get scared away.
ReplyDeleteI still have some danish dough in the freezer...hmm what can I do with it??
ReplyDeleteI still shy away from making bread. Keep encouraging me!
ReplyDeleteAll the stuff and hydration and percentage can be a bit unnerving...but start with a more straight-forward recipe. Something with simple measurements and no extra steps. That's how I gained confidence!! =)
ReplyDeleteI have some ideas...
ReplyDeleteStart simple...with a no-knead recipe...that's how I became more confident with yeast! But you're always free to link up quick breads, too! =) I hope you join us!
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! I've linked this month's BYOB recipe to this post's bread basket, but it is a recipe from Stephanie's blog, Girl Versus Dough ... sooo I guess I'm participating in both aspects of this month's BYOB -wahoo!
