Hey, I figured out a way to use up that leftover flaxseed meal that Brad was eating at Christmas. I’m putting it in the bread dough, about a tablespoon in each cup of flour. Turns out it doesn’t change the flavor very much, and it’s actually incorporating a whole grain into our highly processed white flour dough. Mmmmm….. highly processed…. You may notice the bag of King Arthur flour, as well. It’s apparently the Cadillac of bread flours, and it was the reason we went to that cute little grocery store last Saturday. Plus, it’s got a picture of King Arthur on it -how cool is that!?! I didn’t even know he baked!
Today, I stopped in a regular grocery store in Lincoln and they had the same flour for half the price. *sigh*
Karla says
That looks far more appetizing than Brad’s honkin’ big spoonful!
Brad says
The bag of flax seed says it can be used in place of butter. You should try to make cookies with that substitution! I bet they would be really weird.
Deanne says
I am too chicken to make substitutions like that! So is it a tablespoon in place of the flour? Or in addition to?
It may be highly processed, but they haven’t doused it with funky chemicals that make it whiter than it should be! You’re a step ahead of us--we buy our bread flour at Sams, and they only have normal (bleached) bread flour.
Karla says
But it’s big huge bags of flour!!
Deanne says
Isn’t that something like the pot… don’t you buy those great big bags??
Lauren says
1. It’s in place of.
2. Yeah, it’s healthy -- but people are always commenting on how dingy my bread is. 🙂
Peggy says
King Arthur would be so proud, as am I my lady.
Annette says
Cute is always more pricey!
Beth says
Is that why no one has purchased my children? I put them on ebay weeks ago!
Karla says
Just wait unti Leno or Letterman catches wind of the posting and features it on his show. Then the bidding will take off.
Chris says
Smart picture, but it doesn’t look like King Arthur from this side of the pond ~ more like a Crusader off to the Holy Land to bash the infidel. Arthur’s legend was well-established before the Crusades.
On another subject, why aren’t you using a wholemeal flour?
