Baking A Sweet Life

Its time again for the monthly Bread Baking Day bake-off!  Zorra, the founder of BBD is hosting the one year anniversary edition - and the theme for this exciting occasion is Bread with Sprouts!  For my bread I decided to do a variety of sprouted grains - an equal mix of Hard Red Wheat, Kamut, and Spelt.  I chose these grains because I love the flavor of each, and for ease of sprouting - they are all roughly the same size.

The next BBDay is up! and the theme is sprouted breads! This should really put out some great breads, and now I’ve got to think of what I’ll bake. My only concern is that my oven’s minimum baking temperature is 175F, and I think for sprouting you need around 110-130F. Any suggestions?

It is my pleasure to present to you the fine collection of Breakfast Breads baked up for this month’s BBD challenge. We had 53 54 55 submissions from 16 different countries - quite a variety of breakfast goodies!

Before I showcase all that breakfast is made of, I’d like to thank Zorra for founding this inspiring event and to let you all know to head over to her blog to get the theme of the one year BreadBakingDay anniversary edition!

Also, a big thank you to everyone that participated in this event - it was honor to not only host BBD for its 10th installment, but to get to (virtually) meet each and every one of you - I think that this diversity is what the essence of food blogging is all about - From sisters in Saudi Arabia, to California (our most popular state this month), people coming together from all parts of the world to share a common passion is so incredible - thank you for letting me be a part of it! And I’d like to say a special thank you to Antonella; she doesn’t have a blog but was so eager to still participate.

And the fun begins!

Could life be any better than starting your day with some warm gooey cinnamon rolls? I was fortunate enough to be the lucky host of this month’s edition of Bread Baking Day and I was thrilled to hold that title. This is the 10th edition, and the theme is Breakfast Breads! I had been long wanting to make a batch of cinnamon rolls, and when one of docs I work with made the formal request, I thought this would be the perfect “bread” for my entry!
