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!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
