October’s King Arthur Flour #Bakealong: Everyday Whole-Grain Bread

Published on October 12, 2016 By Emily. Updated on October 12, 2016

Let the record show: I completed October’s King Arthur Flour #Bakealong before the last week of the month. I’d love to say that this was due to some sort of impressive organization and planning on my part, but I think it was mostly just due to an free weekend and my sudden realization that I really need to accomplish the things on my to do list before the baby arrives.

This month’s recipe – Everyday Whole-Grain Bread – also struck me as the least daunting of the Bakealong recipes yet.  I know many people are freaked out by the idea of making bread from scratch, but as I’ve written before, I’m not.  In the time since my 2013 post about baking all of my own bread, I’ve continued to avoid supermarket sandwich bread and bake my own on a regular basis.  A while back I switched my technique of choice to the one in Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, but that’s another post (hopefully coming next week?).

All that to say, it had been a while since I’d made a standard loaf of bread, and I was really excited to do so.  As much as I love the 5 minute a day routine, there’s something about bread rising on the counter that makes me happy.  King Arthur Flour’s Everyday Whole-Grain Bread takes much less time than my previous go-to bread recipe, so that was also a plus.  Fresh bread in 3 hours? Why not!  The ingredient list was super simple – just 7 ingredients, all but one of which I had on hand.  After a trip to the supermarket, I opted to skip purchasing the White Whole Wheat Flour and just used regular whole wheat.  I’m sure my loaves are denser as a result, but we’re very happy with them.

I’m happy with this whole recipe: it was as easy as I’d anticipated and the final product turned out great.  It’s much more of a sandwich bread than what I usually make and the change of pace is nice.  I used a 9×5” loaf pan so my bread is a little shorter than it might be in a small pan (see the recipe notes), but it definitely gets the job done.  Seriously, if you’ve never made bread before this is an awesome recipe to get you started.  I know I’ll be making it again – probably soon.  And there’s lots of October left to participate in this month’s #bakealong!

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
