I hope you are making and enjoying my Overnight Bread! I make a loaf every two or three days. Me being me, I play around with flavors quite frequently. Start with the standard Overnight Bread recipe (on the Bread page), then add the ingredients listed below. Here are two new flavors plus a summary of what I have enjoyed:

Honey Cherry

1 1/2 tablespoons bee pollen (purchased on Amazon)

2 - 3 tablespoons Bucking Valley or other local honey

3/4 cup dried Montmorency cherries

Banana Walnut

2 tablespoons maple sugar or pure maple syrup

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup dried banana chips, chopped

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 teaspoons vanilla

Irish Soda

2 tablespoons caraway seeds

1/2 cup yellow raisins

1/2 cup currants

Other dried fruits I have used:

blueberries

cranberries

plums

dates

candied ginger

apricots

Notes:

1. the moisture in the air - weather - affects the bread, on rainy days more flour is needed to knead the dough into a ball before baking

2. more than 1 cup total of dried fruit is not recommended

COOKING TIPS

#1 

Mise en place! A French term that means "to put in place". What does that mean? Get out and measure every ingredient, preheat oven, prepare equipment, read through recipe a few times - all before you begin cooking. 

 

#2

Use the best ingredients. Use local, organic, and heirloom/heritage varieties whenever possible. This will give you better flavor and better health. And you will be supporting your local farmers, producers and your local economy.

 

#3

Be a label reader! Hidden sodium and sugar along with chemicals, preservatives, shelf stabilizers and GMO's are killing us - our bodies and our environment. If you can't pronouce it, don't eat it!
