My Bread Adventure continued: Oatmeal Bread with Molasses

Homemade oatmeal bread with molasses! #bread #homemade via caseygoduti

I am a big oatmeal fan. I was just thrilled when I came across this oatmeal bread recipe. You could add molasses or honey to add extra flavor and color. I decided to try the molasses. My Mother had molasses in her cabinet and she told me she hardly ever used it. So I decided to try it.
It definitely had nice flavor. This recipe made two loaves. If you are going to get good at making bread you have to make lots of bread.
I found this recipe in Fannie Flagg's Cookbook.
When I mentioned I put molasses in it, everyone thought it would taste like molasses but surprise, surprise it didn't.
Have to try the bread with honey.
I actually am not big on carbs in my diet. I try to stick with one carb at one meal a day. So that doesn't leave room for a lot of bread (or it means my bread just lasts a lot longer). There is always plenty to share.
What comes next is the recipe.

The bread was worth the time I spent making it, and everyone enjoyed it.

English Muffin Toasting Bread

I started a journey of bread when I baked my first loaf of bread. I may have had to make the same loaf about eight times to reach perfection with the yeast but I finally accomplished it. This time I decided I wanted to make an English muffin loaf because I love English muffins. The best bread is sometimes the one that goes into the toaster. It was a lot of fun making the Homemade Cinnamon Bread, so I wanted to have more of the experience.
So I decided to make Bright Eyed Bakers version of the English Muffin Toasting Bread. It was very easy to make and excellent toasted with butter.
This bread only required one rising.
It was very easy.

Wine Glass Charms Redo

Here are my new set of wine glass charms. I took wine glass charms I had already made and updated them to make them easier to use.

Here is what they originally looked like.

Here is what they look like now. Aren't they beautiful.

Have you been to Cohen's Bagel Company in Madison, CT? Here is a link to their website. It is a local family owned business in my part of the woods.

They make bagels fresh everyday. They have many of your favorite flavors including french toast and jalapeno. They steam their bagels. The afternoon I came in they sold quite a few bagels. They also had scones and elephant ears.

Not only do they have bagels and breads, but they also serve salads, and pastries. Here are their fresh baked breads.

Here is the Roast beef, avocado, provolone, romaine lettuce and horseradish mayonnaise on a toasted french baguette I purchased that happened to a special. It was excellent. They have a large menu of sandwiches, and they also serve soup.
