Focaccia March 13, 2011

Nothing like making a mess on the counter to let this yummy bread
rise all afternoon! This was a sticky dough that I had to stretch and shape every half hour. Then rise one last time after dimpling with my fingers and pouring a fragrant herb oil over it. The house smelled like an Italian resteraunt! : ) Definately a make again recipe!

Cranberry Walnut Celebration Bread

Okay, in this week's trial I substituted pecans and dried currents for the craisins! So fire me from the project! : )

But, the recipe was easy to make, it rose beautifully, and tastes yummy! It was my first time making a double layered braid....I think this technique could use some practice.

Overall, I would rate this one a success.

Corn Bread

Ted informed me that I was falling behind in my challenge....so next up was cornbread! And anything with bacon in it wins a test run from me! After making the cornbread, I would have to admit that it is really yummy and worth making again! Did I mention that it has bacon in it?!
