<a href="https://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2017/12/big-banana-muffins.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> added chocolate chips and cinnamon to her recipe - which makes our mouths water just thinking about it! Perfect with a cup of coffee on a cold winter day, this will go into her baking rotation.<br />

Jeniffer decided to omit the walnuts but still had some fabulous muffins to share! She made hers regular-sized which resulted in 7 of these yummy creations.<br />

<br />
Elle got six muffins that quickly disappeared from her counter. Both kids pleaded innocent but the crumbs around their mouths gave them away. Definitely trying the addition of chocolate chips to enhance the mellow banana flavor and light crumb.<br />
<br />
What a year, bakers!

Laura is first up and look at these lovelies! She said they rose beautiful and the flavors were spectacular.<br />

<br />
Elle had a lot of fun rolling out the dough with her little offspring (who delighted in poking holes in the dough and cutting out the rounds with a mason jar so as not to cut little fingers). No one could argue with the results of this lovely biscuit / dinner role hybrid.<br />
<br />
Our final bake of the year - big banana muffins, will close out 2017.

Crumpets are tricky little fellows as we all found out. It is an art form to get them just right and we learned a lot in trying to perfect them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Laura decided to error on the side of caution and set her burner very low. A little too low as they came out underdone, but she had a lot of fun in the attempt and is ready to give them another go. They certainly look pretty as they cooked!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-bread-bible-crumpets.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> was on her second attempt at crumpets this time and still didn't think hers were quite right - but they still tasted far superior to anything found in the store. Maybe third time will be the charm?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Elle was also a crumpet first-timer and found hers a smidgen underdone too - but that didn't stop her family from making the whole lot disappear. Teenager approved!<br />
<br />

Rose's carrot bread was easy to make and delightful to eat.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2017/09/carrot-bread.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> was a bit fooled by the name, expecting a yeasty, traditional bread. Opposite of our Banana Feather Loaf this time! Instead, this loaf was an absolute treat, with rum-soaked raisins spiked throughout and pretty, colorful carrots.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Patty was a smart baker and used pre-shredded carrots in her bread, but did give them an extra pulse in the food processor. The embedded raisins give a pleasing visual to the crumb of this spectacular bread - like carrot cake in a loaf pan, she says.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://phylliscaroline.blogspot.com.au/2017/09/the-bread-bible-carrot-bread.html" target="_blank">Catherine</a> treated her co-workers to this lovely and carroty loaf and remained composed when said co-workers asked where was the icing. They didn't much care where it was after feasting on a slice, though!<br />

Laura made hers in between heat waves and thought it a delicious result. She treated us to a lovely photo showcasing colorful carrots and deep dark raisins.<br />

<br />
Elle started getting back into the baking swing with this (thankfully!) easy and yummy bread. It was especially pleasing to her teenage offspring, who demanded this one be made again soon. Little offspring even devoured it, despite the questionable veggie content.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last but not lease, Jeniffer decided on one of the variations for this month. Zucchini! It turned out beautifully and what a clever way to use up those summer vegetables.<br />
<br />
Switching gears, next month will see us making crumpets! Fasten your seatbelts and happy baking!<br />

This month we made Rose's Banana Feather Loaf. Don't let the title fool you - this is not a quickbread that we all tend to immediately picture. Rather, this is a hearty, solid loaf of bread that makes great toast or sandwiches.<br />

A great way to use up a ripe banana!<br />

Laura made this delicious (and deliciously dangerous) bread, too. Look at that crumb! Airy and fantastic, she'll also be putting this recipe into regular rotation.<br />

<a href="https://pancakecroissants.wordpress.com/2015/10/" target="_blank">Elle</a> also recalled when she first made this recipe, and definitely wants to make again. This was a perfect bread to watch bake into a golden hue through the clear pyrex loaf dish.<br />

<br />
Not many of us were able to make the Potato Buttermilk bread this month, so I think this may go on our makeup list. Fortunately, we had two bakers able to carve out some time and give us mouth-watering results of this fun, dark-crusted loaf.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://livinthelifeinla.com/2017/06/06/monthly-blog-post-roses-bread-bible-bakers-june-2017/" target="_blank">Sheryl</a> absolutely loved this bread and we can see why! It makes fantastic sandwiches and is a keeper recipe to make in future. She tried out dried buttermilk instead of liquid and thought it was a fine substitution for liquid since most of us don't keep buttermilk in our fridges regularly.<br />
<br />

<br />
Laura also made the bread and gave this one a thumbs up! It turned out wonderful and although it begged to be devoured on the spot, she and her husband did manage to hold off and keep some for later.<br />
<br />

<br />
This month Pizza was the name of the game, and boy did everyone deliver. From the Alsatian to Margherita, the bakers had fun with different toppings.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2017/07/perfect-pizza-dough.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> topped hers with homemade marinara, basil, and parmesean. No one can disagree with the fantastic results - it looked (and tasted) absolutely scrumptious!<br />

<a href="http://phylliscaroline.blogspot.com.au/2017/08/the-bread-bible-alsatian-onion-pizza.html" target="_blank">Catherine</a> felt very cosmopolitan feasting on the Alsatian pizza. We can see why! With beautiful caramelized onions complementing gooey cheese and beautiful olives, this was a winner of a month for baking (and eating)!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.thelonebaker.com/journal/2017/4/26/alsatian-onion-pizza.html" target="_blank">Jeniffer</a> really pulled out the stops this month and baked a stunning creation! With her own twist on the Alsatian onion pizza, these mini servings would have anyone asking for seconds, even thirds.<br />

<a href="https://livinthelifeinla.com/2017/05/10/monthly-blog-post-roses-bread-bible-bakers-april-2017/" target="_blank">Sheryl</a> gave us a fabulous history and background to the region where Alsatian comes from, along with showcasing her result. She also got to test out a new pizza stone with great success. As always, well done!<br />

Laura made two versions of pizza for dinner with her husband and we were excited to hear that both earned rave reviews! Indeed, based on her photo they really look delicious.<br />

<br />
Elle didn't have a chance to get the onion and gruyere for her pizza so she improvised with homemade pesto and topped with mozzarella cheese. Her family inhaled the results and enjoyed the lovely scents of baking pizza dough in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
That's it for this month - happy baking!<br />

Cousin to the focaccia, this has the lovely additions of walnuts and walnut oil and is guaranteed to make your kitchen smell heavenly.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.thelonebaker.com/journal/2017/2/16/walnut-fougasse-roses-bread-bible-bakers.html" target="_blank">Jeniffer</a> added lemon and sage to her bread, a combination that sounds wonderful! The slashes in her bread to resemble the traditional wheat sheaf add a great touch to this bake.<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2017/05/walnut-fougasse.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> also could note the resemblance to focaccia and made a wonderfully dark-golden bread. To keep it from becoming too brown with baking, she smartly tented it with some foil. Her kitchen smelled like a french baker's all day long.<br />
<br />

<br />
Elle left the chopped walnuts out of hers since the family generally doesn't like nuts in things, but the walnut oil alone was enough to give this bread a hint of rich nuttiness. It was a treat to eat!<br />

<a href="https://livinthelifeinla.com/2017/04/24/monthly-blog-post-roses-bread-bible-bakers-march-2017/" target="_blank">Sheryl</a> twice made this month's bread, finding that the texture was a bit difficult to work with and didn't seem to come out quite right. While she might not make this bread again, she definitely expanded her horizons and learned quite a bit about making different varieties of fougasse.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://phylliscaroline.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/the-bread-bible-walnut-fougasse.html" target="_blank">Catherine</a> also would not list this on her favorite breads of all time, but was a trooper in finishing out the recipe and showing off her results. A fine specimen and wonderfully slashed in the traditional manner.<br />

High in nutrients, by either grinding them into meal or cracking the buttery, golden seeds, it's much easier to release their omegas and other good-for-you bits. If you can't get your hands on pumpernickel flour (like a few of our bakers) then dark rye flour makes a good substitute.<br />
<br />
Rose created this lovely recipe that has a good, earthy texture and loads of flavor!<br />

<a href="http://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2017/04/flaxseed-bread.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> took a back seat to this one and let her granddaughter and next-generation-Rose-baker take charge. This was her very first, start to finish loaf, and it was amazing! They enjoyed it with Irish butter and Irish cheese.<br />

<a href="http://thelonebaker.squarespace.com/journal/2017/3/24/flax-seed-loaf-roses-bread-bible-bakers.html" target="_blank">Jeniffer</a> decided to go a bit wild with her seed addition, adding in some beautiful chia seeds and sesame seeds. Instead of the loaf, she made some fabulous looking rolls and topped them with whole egg dill mayo, lettuce, egg, and carrot spirals.<br />

Elle made hers on a rather hectic Sunday afternoon, but her loaf still came out nice (except it did stick rather vehemently to the pyrex dish). Her family enjoyed this healthful loaf as sandwiches, or in Elle's case, topped with a FitGirl recipe of artichoke, spinach, sourcream, and a bit of mozzarella.<br />

Catherine made hers in a round loaf style, and doesn't it look like something you'd find in a top-notch bakery? She too thought the loaf's texture and flavor were a winning combination.<br />

Patty felt the impatience of having to wait the full 2 hours for this loaf to cool down - but it was worth the wait! She's definitely putting this recipe in her baking rotation.<br />

<a href="http://www.thelonebaker.com/journal/2017/1/22/olive-bread-roses-bread-bible-bakers.html" target="_blank">Jeniffer</a> faced every baker's nightmare - a misbehaving oven! Thankfully she kept her cool and saved the dough. It turned out fantastic, straight out of Food magazine. She topped her slices with raw and caramelized tomato with some herbs. What a scrumptious Sunday brunch.<br />

<a href="http://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2016/12/rich-and-creamy-ginger-scones.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> and Elle omitted store-bought candied ginger from the recipe (Trader Joes informed Vicki that it contains lead, and Elle's offspring #1 doesn't care for overpowering ginger flavor). Both thought the method of whipping cream was a fantastic idea (one that Elle though even SHE couldn't mess up) to make delicate scones.<br />

Laura used the last of her homemade candied ginger for these lovelies (Laura, share the recipe!) and they were so decadent it was hard to resist taking more than one for a treat.<br />

They looked so lovely, as always! She also treated us with a neat tidbit about the history of candied ginger in Australia.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://livinthelifeinla.com/2016/11/26/monthly-blog-post-roses-bread-bible-bakers-november-2016/" target="_blank">Sheryl</a> made hers as a contribution to Thanksgiving dinner. Unsurprisingly, they were a huge hit (especially with her uncle). Everyone loved the sweet and spicy combination.<br />

<br />
And <a href="http://mycookinggallery.blogspot.com/2016/11/rich-and-creamy-ginger-scones.html" target="_blank">Joyce</a> summed up the scones perfectly. With a cup of tea! She decided to forgo whipping the cream but it didn't affect the fantastic results. Light but rich, creamy, and delicious.<br />
<br />
<br />
For December - with the holidays, it seemed like a lot to put on everyone to make the rye bread, so we've given January as a time to get caught up. If you've already made the rye bread, consider yourself ahead of the game!<br />
<br />
Look forward to baking with everyone in 2017!<br />

Patty made her bread into delicious looking rolls. Packed with well-soused raisins left over from a previous recipe, she let them swim in a pool of bourbon until they were good and passed out. Sounds good to me!<br />

<a href="http://www.thelonebaker.com/journal/2016/10/31/irish-soda-bread-roses-bread-bible-bakers.html" target="_blank">Jeniffer</a>
recently lost her father and found baking to be at least a temporary
solace, even if the lovely memories of food and family get a few tears
in the batter. Rose's Bread Bakers are always ready to share some tea
and a slice of toast if you need it, Jeniffer! This month's bread is
timely since her step-son is in Ireland. She shared that across the
pond, it's simply known as brown bread. Neat!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Ellia was glad to get back into baking this month after her father's passing as well. This was a nice, easy way to get up in the bready saddle again. She and her daughters could hardly wait for their loaf to cool before gobbling it up. A dangerous and delicious treat!<br />

<a href="http://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2016/11/irish-soda-bread.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> found this recipe incredibly easy to make, and incredibly scrumptious. Her raisins soaked in a bath of whisky, with extra for the whipped whisky butter. Fabulous right out of the oven, she says this will definitely be something to celebrate St Patrick's Day.<br />

I will get the Round Ups back on track.<br />
<br />
Also, the blog site's photo upload is down so as soon as it's working again I will update with some beautiful photos of our bread.<br />
<br />
September saw us making Rose's basic hearth bread. But there is nothing basic about it! It is a simple, homey bread that is incredibly versatile and can be enhanced with savories or sweet depending on what you want the end result to be. This is the bread I think we all envision when embarking on a bread baking journey.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2015/09/basic-hearth-bread.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> found this bread to be relaxing to make - it was a recipe that helped evoke lovely childhood memories and help her conquer the mystery of bread dough.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thelonebaker.com/journal/2016/9/30/basic-hearth-bread-roses-bread-bible-bakers.html" target="_blank">Jeniffer</a> channeled some fabulous creativity in making her loaves. They look like something straight out of Gourmet Magazine. And, according to her, taste just as good.<br />
<br />
Laura made her loaf in free-form version and it looks heavenly to eat. She and her husband divvied up the spoils, smeared with lots of butter.<br />
<br />
Patty made two lovely loaves of the hearth bread, one a free-form and the other in a loaf pan. Both tasted wonderful and didn't have any problems even with a hundred degree California day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://mycookinggallery.blogspot.my/2016/09/basic-hearth-bread.html" target="_blank">Joyce</a>'s bread came out spectacular, especially with the homemade garlic-and-chive butter used to make a delicious addition to some mushroom soup. Grab the recipe she gives for that butter!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://livinthelifeinla.com/2016/09/18/monthly-blog-post-roses-bread-bible-bakers-september-2016/" target="_blank">Sheryl</a> demonstrated what a La Cloche clay bread baker can do for your bread - namely, making an amazing crust. She also includes an experiment with KA artisan flour and a recipe for skipjack tuna salad!<br />

For a lot of the bakers in America, school has started back up already which means less time to dedicate to bread making *sad face* It's also a time for vacations and getting your last summer huzzahs. For our bakers in other parts of the world with different seasonality, it still seems to be a hectic month with busy calendars.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In other words, I think we'll definitely be updating this Round Up in a few weeks after everyone gets on an even keel again. In the meantime, we had some intrepid bakers who soldiered through and delivered some amazing, delectable loaves of cinnamon raisin bread!</div>

First up is <a href="http://mycookinggallery.blogspot.com/2016/08/raisin-bread.html" target="_blank">Joyce</a>. She's our newest member to the Bread group and woah, can this gal bake! Her raisin loaf (she omitted the cinnamon) is spectacular, with an envious crumb and delicate texture. She topped her slices off with homemade Orange and Cardamom jelly. Our mouths are watering just looking at it! (Be sure to check out her results for blueberry muffins and the caramel sticky buns in previous Round Ups).</div>

Laura decided to take a field trip to her local farmer's market for some fresh Diamond Muscat raisins for her bread. And learned a lesson about using fresh raisins in bread (spoiler: they will pop out when slicing is all. Still tastes great). This bread was easy to overdose on - one slice just isn't enough!</div>

She topped hers with fresh cheese and berries but thought this bread was yummy enough to be eaten unadorned.</div>

This month, the bakers tackled Rose's first edition recipe of Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns. The Alpha Bakers may also recognize this updated version in Rose's fabulous new book, The Baking Bible.<br />
<br />
This recipe is great for expanding your baking horizons. Homemade caramel, lovely brioche dough, and experimenting with rolling and cutting with dental floss - the caramel buns have it all!<br />

<br />
<a href="http://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2015/03/caramel-buns.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> tried this recipe out with the Alpha Bakers last year, so she took a well-earned pass at trying Rolls version 1.0 but she remembered how much the family loved these rolls. Never again will she buy Pillsbury at the store! She set off the caramel by sprinkling on some sea salt and soaking the raisins in kahlua. Yum.<br />

<a href="http://www.thelonebaker.com/journal/2016/7/9/sticky-caramel-buns-roses-bread-bible-bakers.html" target="_blank">Jeniffer</a> was also charmed by these delicious rolls. She was reminded of a cross between a chelsea bun and golden syrup dumplings. Jeniffer definitely recommends searching out muscovado sugar, if you can find it. Buttery, sweet, and delicate, these were a winner!<br />

<a href="https://phylliscaroline.blogspot.com/2016/08/caramel-sticky-buns.html" target="_blank">Catherine</a> was a champ with this recipe, experimenting with dark brown sugar for the caramel instead of muscovado. She made two batches, the second one having enough time to really soak up the delicious caramel which really kicked it to the next level of yumminess. She also notes that the brioche is amazing to watch rise and mature through its phases. I think all bread bakers share this enjoyment-fascination!<br />

Billie was very pleased with her rolls. She used some leftover rosemary caramel for this recipe and thought the subtle flavor melded beautifully with the buttery, sweet dough. Delicious and light, the caramel buns got a definite thumbs up.</div>

Laura was happy to spread her wings and try this new recipe. She wasn't disappointed and thought it was quite fun to use dental floss to slice the dough up. Laura also called out what a lot of us did as well - clean up the caramel leftovers with a spoon and taste away!<br />

<a href="https://pancakecroissants.wordpress.com/2016/08/22/caramel-sticky-buns/" target="_blank">Elle</a> had a great time learning how to make both a rolled up bun and homemade caramel. The caramel was such a hit that her teenage daughter/daughter's best friend immediately punted her out of the kitchen to make their own batch! Elle chose to take the majority of these dangerously good buns to her husband's workplace to share the calories, where they were promptly devoured.</div>

What a treat these are - buttery, flaky, sinfully decadent, and elegantly simple! The most rewarding and exciting part of seeing the results this month is that everyone's scones are so fabulously unique - from lemon poppy seed to lime blueberry, currant to cranberry, savory, and simply plain.. We all put our own spin on these lovely treats with great success!<br />

She was on the hunt for a satisfying, wholly-delicious scone for afternoon tea that wouldn't end up sticking to the roof of her mouth or be too doughy. Did she find the perfect scone? Sounds like it! They turned out beautifully, with a delicate crumb and charmingly rustic shapes.<br />

<a href="https://pancakecroissants.wordpress.com/2016/06/09/flaky-scones/" target="_blank">Elle</a> is a long-time lover of scones so she couldn't wait to try them, and hoped fervently that she would have success at making her own. She decided to omit the currants because offspring #1 doesn't care for the texture of currants/raisins/cranberries, etc in her baked goods. These were a win with her and her daughter and they enjoyed them with breakfast tea.<br />

Jennifer decided to try the lemon poppyseed variation of these scones. This was also her first time making these, and thought they turned out great. They look wonderfully golden brown and ready to be smothered in jam and cream.<br />

<a href="https://nlbarber.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-bread-bible-lime-blueberry-flaky.html" target="_blank">Nancy</a> was extra creative and made her own flavor variation - lime and blueberry! She also utilized the smart trick of grating the butter to keep it chilled, and chilling her baking tools to further limit the ambient heat that comes from handling. With scones, the colder the butter, the better the result! She also calculated out the WW points, which made us all gulp. But worth the calories! (I'm reminded of Han Solo's quote from Star Wars before attempting a dangerous ship maneuver, "Never tell me the odds!") In baking, never tell us the calories. Our ignorance (if not our waistlines) is bliss.<br />

Ginny decided to throw together a medley of dried fruits, which sounds spectacular. Although she thought they overcooked a tad and got a little more brown than golden, they still look heavenly, especially smeared with a pat of creamy butter. Like the rest of us, she decided to share the wealth and give some to friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to keep from devouring them all.<br />

Billie is new this month, joining up with Ginny. We are happy to have new bakers joining the group this month! She chopped up dates for these scones - very yummy! She too shared the wealth, knowing how dangerous and delicious these are. She also points out that these are great frozen, to be enjoyed later on.<br />

<a href="http://baking-with-granny.blogspot.com/2016/07/flaky-scones.html" target="_blank">Vicki</a> felt a little trepidation at making scone dough, but she needn't have feared. Even having to add in a bit of extra cream to combat dryness, these scones turned out beautiful! They look so inviting with her special lemon curd and some cream. The golden tops and colorful currants give it just the right touch. And they tasted amazing!<br />

<a href="https://livinthelifeinla.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/monthly-blog-post-roses-bread-bible-bakers/" target="_blank">Sheryl</a> was truly the most creative of the group. Not really a fan of scones to begin with (but still up for trying out the recipe, with a new food processor too!) she decided to go the savory route and substituted ingredients like chives and mexican cheeses blend. Buttery goodness, chives, and cheese - how could these not be a winner? These were tasty enough that Sheryl could definitely see herself making these again. Looks like that food processor worked great!<br />
<br />
We still have some of our group that is slated to make these scones - we'll update the Round Up with their fabulous creations when completed.<br />

<br />
What a fantastic inaugural month for Rose’s Bread Bakers! We’ve
had such an outstanding response from the baking community and welcomed over
twenty members to the group – this is so exciting and we all can’t wait to
share our baking journeys with one another.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
For this first month, we did something simple (and simply
delicious!): Rose’s Blueberry muffins. With a secret tang of lemon, a juicy
burst of blueberry, and a hint of nutmeg, this recipe met with rave reviews
from all of our bakers.<o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="http://phylliscaroline.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/raspberry-not-blueberry-muffins.html" target="_blank">Catherine</a> stepped out of the blueberry box and
substituted raspberries. A swap that she says turned out wonderfully when
combined with the almost-cake like texture of the muffin and the tarty tang of
raspberry. She recommends doubling the recipe because six muffins just aren’t
enough!<o:p></o:p><br />

was her first time eating blueberry muffins. She appreciated the subtle
undertone of nutmeg giving it a mysterious depth of flavor. I can’t think of a
better recipe to try out for a first time! She recommends re-heating the muffins
before eating the next day.<o:p></o:p><br />

citrus and nutmeg undertones of the muffin and gave a great tip of keeping a
light hand in mixing the batter), but also shared her first memory of her own
mother coming home with a store-bought muffin mix that even had a tiny tin
of blueberries. How times have changed!<o:p></o:p><br />

Laura made two batches of muffins. The first contained
self-rising flour as a clever substitute for baking soda. The second batch was
stellar and incredibly tender. She used her Danish whisk on this batter and I
think the results were spot-on!<o:p></o:p><br />

Jennifer did some creative refiguring because her berries
were on the larger side and the muffin tin on the smaller end. Nevertheless,
her muffins look fabulous and tasted great even with the changed
berry-to-batter ratio. She also asked a question that I believe all of us
wonder – does everyone’s kitchen look like a hurricane after baking? The answer
is yes!<o:p></o:p><br />

a true baking veteran, winged some substitutions into her recipe with fantastic
results. She, like several other bakers, also used frozen berries (her own bush
wasn’t ripe yet) and the slight mottling of the juices created a lovely

adaptation!<o:p></o:p><br />

Patty used a darling muffin pan to bake with this month, and

that must taste. She too thought the recipe was easy to follow with awesome

a sub of basil for lemon. Can’t wait to hear how those taste!<o:p></o:p><br />

and both mother and daughter thought them delectable! She tried this recipe out
twice for good practice (and more delicious muffins to eat) especially because

<a href="http://livinthelifeinla.wordpress.com/2016/06/15/monthly-blog-post-roses-bread-bible-bakers-may-2016/" target="_blank">Sheryl</a> joined us in making blueberry scones, and boy did they turn out amazing! She met with great success at this scratch-baking venture and commented that they are both easy to make and far superior to any store-bought mix. We all heartily agree!<br />

<i><br /></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">This site is dedicated to the legendary baking book from Rose Levy Beranbaum, <i>The Bread Bible</i></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">. The book has been out for several years but it's an amazing collection of easy to follow recipes that always taste delicious! If you are new to working with yeast or a seasoned bread baker, you are in the right place. The only thing we request is a love of baking, experimenting, and consuming tasty discoveries.</span><br />

The first week of the following month, we'll post a roundup (or recap) of everyone's experiences. If you post later than that, don't worry! We can always update the roundup. If you only feel like baking certain breads, that's okay too!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;"><br /></span>

Please don't post the recipes on your websites or facebook pages out of respect for Rose.</span><br />

It can be found in the side bar.</span><br />
