WHOLE WHEAT SAUSAGE BREAD



I love sausage more than other kinds of meat. Needless to say, sausage bread is absolutely one of my favorite. Today I made this sausage bread of 33% whole wheat baguette dough. Crunch, chewy baguette and salty, savory sausage. It's a really great combination.

PUMPKIN AND CREAMCHEESE RUSTIC BREAD

 


Pumpkin and creamcheese, what a great combination! Once I was in doubt worring it wouldn't go well together. My doubts were brushed away when I made amazingly awesome pumpkin cheesecake by bruno albouze whose youtube channel is so professional and instructive. I learned a lot watching his channel. Thanks so much, bruno! Since I know pumpkin and creamcheese makes something really good, I can't stop making this wonderful loaf, pumpkin and creamcheese rustic bread.



It's rustic bread, so to speak, pain de campagne. This bread has golden brown crust dusted with flour and moist, chewy crumb. With pumpkin pieces sweetened little bit by sugar and chunks of creamcheese? Tasty, yummy bread. Can't stop eating more!

KAISER ROLLS & ROAST CHICKEN SANDWICH

 
I baked kaiser rolls featured in BBA by Peter Reinhart. The result could have been a success if the shape remained as it was before second proofing. But these rolls taste absolutly great, especially when I make a sandwich with this roll. This bread is for sandwich, of course, I know that. Anyway, it's great. No word can say more than that.
 
 
There are my rolls. The special shape almost disappeared.
I topped it with white and black sesame because I can't get poppy seed in my nation.
 
 
 
For my lunch, I made roast chicken sandwich.
 
 
 kaiser rolls
roast chicken breast
goda sliced cheese

I wish I had added some tomato as well.
 
 
Yum.
