Lunch Anyone?

This noon we are co-hosting a soup and bread lunch for a group of friends. I decided to make some of my favorite breads to share. They are all documented in this blog, so I am not including any recipes here.

Pan de Cristal, or ice bread, is one of my favorites. It’s an open structure and crisp crust bread, and so good.

Artisan bread rolls are easy to make and are always delicious. I simply formed my normal artisan bread into small rolls and baked for a shorter time.

The bi-colored star loaf is based on my dinner roll recipe that everyone loves.

Baguettes are always a favorite and don’t forget the breadsticks. I made both rosemary and caper and olive breadsticks (my favorite.)

Olive Breadsticks Revisited

I made Paul Hollywood’s Olive Bread Sticks in 2017 and thought it was high time to repeat. It was another perfect golf day (but not a perfect score.) I love olives and I love bread. Ta Da!

See the recipe and method on the link above. Easy to make, although a tad messy. The dough is very slack and requires a lot of flour to be able to shape and move it. I also brush the finished breadsticks to remove excess flour after they have cooled.
