Yesterday I made a whole wheat walnut bread and a pumpkin-cream cheese swirl quick bread to take to work. The pumpkin bread was a great success, probably in large part because it was mostly butter and cream cheese by volume. The whole wheat walnut bread didn't even make it to work--Greg declared it delicious and made a lot of it disappear. The rest became breakfast.
Tonight I'm trying baguettes again and reading Samuel Fromartz's
In search of the perfect loaf, which my mom sent in honor of my attempts at baguettes.
The quick bread recipe came from
this blog. It's a quick bread in that it only takes a few minutes to put together, but the bake time is well over an hour. It was very rich. Honestly I thought that the only thing the cream cheese section added was the aesthetic effect of having a swirl when the loaf was cut apart. I would rather accomplish that by making two different colors of batter and mixing them. I'm deciding what would go well with pumpkin to make my second of these loaves.
