Challah Bread
Challah is an enriched bread dough (so we bake at a lower temp, and give it an egg wash and sometimes toppings). This one can also be enhanced by topping after the bake with a honey butter wash. The yeast needs to be increased because this much sugar and fat inhibits the yeast. Download PDF

English Muffins
These are mixed a very long time on purpose to give the right texture. They also do the 1st rise (fermentation) for a longer time to develop flavor. Making these sourdough will give the exact deep nooks and crannies you're craving, but this one is with yeast. Download PDF
Ezekiel 4:9 Fasting Bread
There is a story about this in the bible, and what’s interesting is that they knew back then that beans and grains combined created a complete protein. Otherwise, the bread alone would not sustain life long term. That’s the story, and this would make an excellent bread for fasting. In my opinion, this is much better in flavor, texture and price than the store-bought stuff. Download PDF

NY Style Bagels
Bagels are just bread dough that’s has a little less water for a chewier texture and they are boiled before baking (just like soft pretzels). That’s part of how they get that shiny exterior that seals the moisture into the bread. Download PDF
Soft Pretzels - Philly Style
Philly style pretzels are NOT fluffy. They are dense, slightly sweet and salty andalmost chewy. It’s hard to describe, but based on what I know about those pretzels and
the grains I have on hand - Durum is required for this one. If you make a lot of pasta, you
probably have it. Khorasan (Kamut) or Emmer are interchangeable for Durum.
This reminds me of what it was like as a kid watching them make Pennsylvania
dutch style pretzels. The dough was thick, heavier and tougher than your usual fun to
play with bread dough. I kneaded this in four smaller batches since I made these by
hand, and I let the dough rest for better gluten development. Download PDF
Sub Rolls | Superbly Soft Enriched Loaf
These rolls can be super quick and easy to make, especially if you skip the first rise (AKA fermentation) and go directly to shaping while the oven pre-heats. Thank me later, these are winners every summer for hoagie-fest without the chemicals. Download PDF

Superbly Soft Sandwhich Bread with Milk & Honey
Fat makes for a more tender bread, and so we like to add it to things like rolls or buns,whatever you want to call them. An “Enriched” or rich dough includes fat or sugar with ingredients like butter, honey, eggs, and milk (which includes fat). These things tenderize the bread, and I think you’ll enjoy the texture a bit more than the basic loaf (especially if you like a sweeter flavor). Download PDF
