Baking along with Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois.
I have to apologize that it is taking so long to get through it but baking is a foreign p[roject to me and I have not had the time to devote to it. Plus, as you probably know, I am fairly frugal so we eat what I cook...... I have to have an occasion to share OR we have to have eaten up what I already made... so it takes a little longer for me to move on to the next bread!
Trying lavash was a unique experience for me. Like many of the breads in this book, I've never had it... I've never SEEN it... so I am going by description, following instructions!
To make this Armenian bread, you can use one of several types of dough from the book - I typically use the light wheat dough, though I really like the European Peasant dough as well.
The bread was soft and chewy - though obviously by the photo below, I should have left it to brown a little longer
But the taste was good.... my taste-testers tore it up and polished it off! I suppose I might make it again but it is not enough like a bread we enjoy with our meals for me to repeat often. I think it is a preference though.... I can see where it could be used well like a tortilla or wrap!
Ahh........ The Sticky Pecan Caramel Rolls....... (simply Sticky Caramel for us) I jumped ahead a little for this one! When I made the Challah the other day, I had dough leftover and thought I'd look ahead at the enriched breads section and see what I could make with it. Someday maybe I will be able to do this without a book - but not yet!
Anyway - What fun! Another baking success story!!
No pecans per my husband's request.... but lots of butter as you can see! Overbrowned on one side but absolutely delicious!
