So my Herb garden is thriving and I am so happy to have some lovely fresh herbs just outside my back door that I started a herb-bread blog feature.  Breads 2 and 3 are now posted on mybreadandbrot.com 

Bread 2;  Savoury picnic muffins, with basil, olives, feta and tomato.  These are lovely little muffins, super easy to make and packed with the flavours of greece

Bread 3; Rosemary potato bread.  An artisan whole wheat bread, with fresh rosemary and speckled with chunks of potato.  Really nice!

I am pleased to kick off my collection of herby-breads recipes with this easy recipe for Garlic herb flatbread.  More posts for herby bread recipes, all inspired by my superabundant herb garden, are scheduled to follow on mybreadandbrot.com.  Its a kind of herb bread theme week, or herb bread blog marathon. However you like to call it, it should be delicious 

During out trip to England my kids fell in love with English granary bread.  So I came up with a recipe that I thought would produce something similar to that lovely soft, nutty tasty grainy english favourite.  It worked out great and after a couple of test bakes its now featured on mybreadandbrot.com.  So if you also like a sandwich/toast bread that is healthy, high fibre, tasty, perfect for sandwiches or toast, then this recipe would be a good for you.  

Its easy to make and this flaxseed bread is delicious and healthy too.  its the latest post on mybreadandbrot.com.  

For non-german readers spargel is white asparagus.  its in season just now here in bavaria, so I just had to bake with it.  This Spargel pizza recipe is delicious.  For full details, go to mybreadandbrot.com

I am happy to be back to baking!!  having spent 2 weeks in front of my computer overhauling my website it feels great to get back to what I like the best, baking!  

I tried and tested a few dough combinations and surprising as it may sound, the sourdough whole spelt marries amazingly well with an enriched yeast chocolate dough.  It was such a labor of love this bake I have published it, rather demo-style.  For details look on www.mybreadandbrot.com

So my spelt phase continues and this is one of my best yet, I think, but then again i am a BIG fan of nut breads.

This is a sourdough bread made with whole spelt flour, roasted hazelnuts and honey.  The flavor and texture are both pretty complex, but very enjoyable.

A spelt sandwich bread that turned out rather nicely with a pleasant soft crumb.  Its whole wheat, so super healthy, of course.

This bread is really tangy and tasty, and although not a traditional easter bake, it did go down well as part of our easter lunch.
