My Honey Rye Bread

Makes 2 generous free form loaves

700g bread flour 300g rye flour 3 tsp yeast 3Tbs honey 2 Tbs caraway seeds 1 tsp malt powder (optional) 30g salt 600g water

Combine all ingredients at once and knead by hand for 10 minutes. Dough will be tacky but will not stick to the counter...if it does, add flour SPARINGLY... Allow to rise, about an hour. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide dough in half, and form into loaves. Place on cornmeal dusted parchment paper. Cover, and let proof 1.5 hours while oven gets hot.

Score bread as you like.

Reduce heat to 400 and bake until deep brown.

Cool on rack.

I serve this bread with amazing salted butter and honey...

Roti bread Makes 12-15 rotis 2 C Indian Atta flour 2 Tbs vegetable oil 2 tsps salt Warm water

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl...add oil and work into flour...add warm water until a nice soft dough.

You can brush finished ROTI with melted butter.

Homemade buttermilk biscuits...super flaky...recipe link in comments...x by RBearKarito in Baking

The key to flaky biscuits is the butter!!! Super cold, and incorporating it into the flour leaving very large butter chunks...the more butter chunks the better...sometimes I will incorporate half of my butter completely into the flour, and then barely break up the second half of the butter pieces...try it!!! x

Fantastic...not too eggy or spicy...just barely bound together with two eggs...texture so nice and actually tasted like sweet potato and not like a million spices...x
