Here is Part 1 of this moist and creamy bread experiment. Enjoy!

Basic Information

The more and more I bake and cook in our kitchen the more forgetful I am about what I did or how I made a certain dish or bread. I attempted to create a recipe and actually measure some ingredients this time in order to duplicate the creamy and moist bread I made in this actual post (as well as this bread post) and day.

So I will give some basic cooking notes below on what information and photos I took of this evening of baking.

Now on to one of my favorite parts of cooking food (second to eating and serving them) are the many food pictures I take for our Family Food and Recipe Journal.

When I worked this dough with my hands it felt like the sweet soft and creamy Japanese mochi I loved to eat as a child. The bread dough reminded me of soft mocha ready to eat.

Satisfying a Healthy Craving

I have been craving a moist and fluffy, light and airy “melt-in your-mouth” whole grain bread for a week now. We use many different methods of making bread and my experiments will end up in variations of flat bread, pizza, scones, biscuits, crackers, piecrust cookies, mini loaves, breadsticks or something else.

I love sharing what I’ve learned in the process and am still learning about using whole grains. Though it’s been about eight years now or so we continue to learn so much about using a variety of organic whole grains.

Enjoy Experimenting in the Kitchen

The hard part of sharing all of this information is that I mostly cook without a recipe. I encourage you to do the same! It is such a great accomplishment to know that you can make almost anything you are craving to eat while saving money and feeding your family a healthy nutritious treat.

I like to label things as an “experiment.” It is that because I am often busier with other things in the home like homeschooling, the art of homemaking, and spending time with my family outdoors. Though I like to “throw” things together I am working on making easier-to-follow directions and recipe lists along with video clips to help you learn how to cook using whole grains.

More Additions to Food Picture Journal

In the meantime, enjoy the extra bits of information and food pictures I love to take. These pictures are part of my personal Food Picture Journal and Food Picture Library.

May you be inspired to use real, fresh food and find out how amazing it tastes and how good it makes you feel!
