It’s been a long time since I’ve made a new(-to-me) bread from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Long enough, actually, that they’ve come out with The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day! I don’t know if … Continue reading →

Posted on January 12, 2022 by sparecake

A veeeery slightly sweet bread with a super soft middle, I’m pretty in love with this one. I’m not sure it’s strong enough for smearing particularly sturdy spreads, but it’d be perfect for a turkey and cheese sandwich, and it’s … Continue reading →
