OMG they all sound delicious. Which one should I make first? They also look easy, and healthy with the whole wheat flour and the olive oil, my speed.
ReplyDeleteSome day maybe you will show me how to make regular yeast bread by hand (not the bread machine).
My very favorite bread is Dill Bread from the 5/18/2011 post. It is a yeast bread though, but still easy. Of these three, I would start with the Irish Soda Bread. Note that the herb bread is more like a Johnny cake-type bread. Also, the Parker House bread recipe, from a 12/29 post, is delicious (and easy--no knead)! It's best for rolls and buns though.
