Pain Du Jour~



I made Oatmeal Sage bread..Just a regular oatmeal bread in the bread machine..From The Better Homes And Gardens Bread Baking Book~ But added sage leaves I received as a gift.. and painted some swirls with coffee..:)



I like to use the bread machine for mixing and kneading..I never bake in it~

The bread painting I have shown before..it was gleaned on a few sites on the internet~ This time I used instant espresso to paint it..and after adding the sage leaves I covered the bread in quite a bit of flour so the leaves would not burn during baking.. you just brush the flour off after baking..also this time I painted the bread maybe 10 mins before it was ready~ I love doing it and wished I had had more time..A swirl is done in a breath..imagine if you took your time:)


Well even if I took great time..it would look the same..I would just have more fun:)

  14. Ils étaient si mignons ces escargots en France..La vitrine a attiré notre attention instantanément!

    Anyone can paint this bread..I looked up Henna after your mention Ju..I wonder if it is food safe..It looks wonderful..I know about hair color and tattoos..but food..would you know?

    We cut right into the bread.. really it takes but a few minutes..

    Last night as an appetizer we had bruschetta on it..non tradition on oatmeal bread:)
