This is the bread that I make for my family for our daily use. It’s slightly sweet and light, and the honey helps absorb and retain moisture, so it keeps these loaves fresh and moist.

Delicious Whole Grain Bread
I used to make Honey Oatmeal Bread for our daily bread, but it’s a little too sweet and crumbly for most sandwiches. While researching The Walking Bread; The Bread Will Rise!, I came across a new recipe and modified it with fresh ground hard red and hard white wheat and raw honey instead of brown sugar. I’ve never had homemade whole wheat bread that is this moist and this wonderful.
Greek Lenten Bread (Lagana)
The Lenten bread known as Lagana traditionally sees the light of day only once each year, on the first day of the Greek Orthodox Lent, known as Clean Monday. It’s most often shaped like a rectangle with rounded corners and is a fairly flat loaf. This recipe is Daniel Fast friendly, Orthodox fast friendly, and Lent friendly.
Simple Greek Peasant Cornbread (Bobota)
In Greek history, during times of hardship, cornmeal recipes were very popular, and bobota is considered by many to be a “peasant” dish. This recipe gets a delightful shot of flavor from fresh orange juice and produces a dense, crumbly cornbread.
Indian Flat Bread (Chapati)
Chapattis are similar to tortillas, but made with no baking powder. They are easy to make and keep well if stored in an air-tight container. Chapattis are common in Southeast Asia and throughout Africa.
Crusty Whole Wheat Cheese Bread
Kaylee’s great-grandfather and his sons were bakers in Florida for decades, and this bread is a similar recipe to one that they sold retail and to restaurants. The herbs in the dough are very light, just enough to enhance the cheese. It is perfect to serve as a side to almost any kind of soup, and it is absolutely light and delicious.
Old-Fashioned Cornbread
It took me a few years and several brands of cornmeal and many recipes to finally find one that everyone in my family loved. Now I have friends who ask for “Hallee’s cornbread” and friends who come for dinner whose children want to know if they’re having “Hallee’s Special Cornbread!”
Whole Wheat Pull Apart Yeast Rolls
When I first read this recipe, I didn’t understand what the instructions meant, but once I started performing the actions, they made perfect sense. These rolls were light and wonderful, a perfect complement to our Thanksgiving feast, or any feast for that matter!
Harvest Bread
Canadian Thanksgiving is a celebration of harvest, and what I found referenced over and over again was Harvest Bread. This is an awesome project kids can enjoy creating, shaping the dough into a plait or a wheatsheaf.
