Mmm, bread! I think I'm going to make a loaf in my bread machine when I'm home this weekend.
And no, oranges in the past have made me sick too. Orange is almost a universal flavor, and I pretty much hate it haha
Hi Carla
This bread is really good, I have baked it before with honey and maple syrup, I had problems today with the proofing, cool and damp ... seems like I need the "perfect" temp/humidity some days .. sigh.
Don't ya just love these "no knead breads" and... this one tastes wonderful!
I like this one better than some, it is crusty but not a hard crust. This and the Bulgur wheat are my favorites :)
This is great! A beautiful loaf that couldn't be easier.
Hi Susan
Yes, I really like the prep and taste on this bread.
Love your blog :)
This looks so beautiful, and sounds yummy, too! I also don't think it would be too difficult for me to veganize...
Thanks for stopping by Shelly. Yes, you could veganize this bread, BTW I love the Banana Oat bread you baked.. will have to give this a try.
