Cheese breads are a favorite of mine. I think cheese adds a different dimension, an interesting flavor, and texture to breads. Some of my favorite cheeses to add to a bread recipe are cheddar, gruyere and feta. Each one has it’s own characteristic, aroma and taste.

It has been awhile since I made a really nice chewy crusted bread. I’ve been trying to make a variety of breads to satisfy everyones tastes. My family was nagging me … well Ok maybe not nagging but asking me to make a good chewy bread for dinner. So, I decided to make this Roasted [...]

I felt like making a bread that would [...]

This Samosa bread recipe was inspired by a small bakery in White Rock called Stonefields Bakery. I can never walk pass a bakery without entering to see what tasty unusual treats they may have in store for me. On this day they had a delicious savory Samosa bread on sale, that I just had to [...]

Triple Onion and Bacon Buns Mmmm… so good! I’m no cry baby, but sometimes when I slice onions my eyes start to sting and tear up uncontrollably. I have to put down my knife and walk away for a while. I have heard that if you peel the onions then place them in [...]
