Sandwich Bread

Einfach Grossartig - Super weiches Sandwich Brot
Simply Great - Super Soft Sandwich Bread

Eigentlich ziehe ich Brote mit hohem Vollkorn-Anteil vor aber hin und wieder verlangen Rezepte oder Gäste nach einem hellen, weichen Weissbrot. Bisher hatte ich noch kein derartiges Rezept ausprobiert und kannte Toastbrot bzw. Sandwich Brot nur vom Bäcker oder aus dem Supermarkt. Beim Bio-Bäcker gibt es dies sicher in guter Qualität, aber sicherlich nicht die Varianten aus dem Supermarkt. So habe ich mich auf die Suche gemacht und bin schliesslich hier: thefreshloaf.com - TX Farmer fündig geworden...
Basically i prefer bread with increased amount of whole wheat but from time to time recipes or guest ask for light and soft wheat breads. I haven't made any sandwich bread before. Until now i bought it at the organic bakery or supermarket. At bakeries you may get them in organic and good quality but i don't think this is valid for supermarkets.  I was looking for a recipe a long time but finally found one here: thefreshloaf.com - TX Farmer...

There will be no more posts...

...on this blog for a while. We just learned that our six-year old grandson Noah has been murdered in the Sandy Hook massacre this morning. Our hearts are bleeding for him, his parents, his twin sister, his other siblings. I have no words left.

Schokoladen-Cranberry-Brot / Chocolate-Cranberry-Sourdough

Rustikales, dunkles Äusseres durch Kakao und Schokolade und verführerisches Aroma und Geschmack /
Rustic, dark appearance through cacao and chocolate with tempting aroma and taste
Endlich ist es soweit - das Warten hat ein Ende. Ich habe mir ein Herz gefasst und trotz Vorwarnungen, dass das Brot süchtig macht, das Nachback-Vorhaben in die Praxis umgesetzt. Das Rezept und die Anregung stammen von MC und Ihrem wundervollen Blog Farine (Chocolate and Current Sourdough).
Wahrscheinlich ist es die Vorliebe für Schokolade und Brot aber auch die schöne Beschreibung und die Bilder, die mich zum Nachbacken angeregt haben. Was soll ich sagen....
It's finally there - the wait is over. I have taken a heart and despite warnings that the bread is addictive: "...once you have made this bread, you'll find yourself compulsary making it again and again" i have made it. The recipe is taken from MC and her wonderful blog Farine (Chocolate and Current Sourdough).
It is probably that i like chocolate and bread but also the beautiful description and the artistic pictures that have inspired me to make this bread. What can I say...
