40loaves

Bread no. 14 : walnut bread.

Adjustments : halved the recipe, added 1/4 C dried cranberries and subsutuited vingar and milk for buttermilk. I also didn't chop the oats in a food processor because that seems like a lot of work for little reward.

Notes : I've made this a few times. Notably, last Thanksgiving. I always forget how difficult this recipe is compared to other breads. (By this, I mean that you have to dirty a lot of measuring cups.) It's also pretty tricky to get the consistency right - I feel like I end up adding a lot of extra flour to make the dough not too sticky. Added cranberries this time on Paul's recommendation. Good call, Paul.

Review : OH MAN, out of control good. I know I have already said that one of the loaves on 1-13 was best, but that was a lie. THIS BREAD is best. I can't even tell you why it turned out so good this time, but I think it's because I hand kneaded it at the end (for about five minutes). WOW though. SO GREAT.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
