Italian Sub Rolls
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breads & pastries
Several weeks ago when I was hunting for a recipe for sub rolls, I came across this basic italian bread recipe by Emeril. The recipe is supposed to make one large loaf of Italian bread, but I split it up into four smaller loaves. They still ended up being quite large, so I’ll split the [...]

HBin5: Avocado Guacamole Bread

For this month’s HBin5, I decided to try out the avocado guacamole bread. Like Michelle, I also thought that the loaf would turn out to be slightly green, but it wasn’t. Still, it had a very interesting flavor. I made a half recipe of the bread, and while I can’t say I was all that [...]
