Jakesprinter’s topic this Sunday is Simplicity. With the difficult economic conditions in the world the last couple of years, many people are adopting simpler lifestyles and going back to simpler foods.
My husband is a great cook and over the last couple of years he has started making more things from scratch such as spaghetti sauce and breads. Here is a photo of his Harvest bread, which has raisins and dried cranberries. He uses his Le Creuset to give it the boule shape. It is simple to make because it is a no-knead bread; the dough sits for 20 hours and rises on its own without kneading. It is delicious!

Last year I tried making English muffins from scratch. They weren’t uniform, but they looked and tasted like English muffins. Unfortunately, they took too much time and effort. I discovered that in this case it wasn’t worth it because our local grocery store has English muffins 3 for $1.00 on Wacky Wednesdays!

Hm…yummi I like muffins
I love English muffins. Kind of a pain to make though.
i like the sound of a no knead bread Sue…has he any more like that…hehehehe
Can I make it without the le creuset, Sue, and if so, can I have the recipe? Or you could just lend him out for a little while?
Yes, you CAN make it without le creuset. It takes like 10 minutes to make the dough. It’s just planning ahead so the dough has time to sit. I’ll try to get it from him!
Bless you, hon. The bain of my life is how long it takes to prepare and cook things, and how rapidly they disappear.
Wow, your husband is a great cook! How lucky! The bread looks so good.
Awesome Delicious Sued, Thanks for sharing my friend
