• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour (usually wheat) and water, usually by baking.
Bread may be leavened by naturally occurring microbes (e.g. sourdough), chemicals (e.g. baking soda), industrially produced yeast, or high-pressure aeration, which creates the gas bubbles that fluff up bread. In many countries, commercial bread often contains additives to improve flavour, texture, colour, shelf life, nutrition, and ease of production.

    Greek Pita Bread

    I'm taking the GG's falafels tomorrow so I wanted a reasonably, at least more than Walmart, pita bread. I followed this recipe except since I didn't have Greek yogurt as indicated I used my homemade. Sure path to waffle batter... Kept adding flour until it was manageable and ended up with these.

    Keeping bread fresh?

    I bake bread 2 to 3 times a week, following a general no knead type recipe, baking in a Dutch oven. The day it's made, the bread tastes fantastic, but declines quite sharply the following day, and by the third day really needs toasting. I tried storing in an air tight container as one method...

    Recipe Chocolate zucchini bread

OK - it makes the assumption that you have...
