Full disclosure: I am eating a Pop Tart right now. Hydrogenated oils: check. High fructose corn syrup: check. Regular corn syrup: check. I am ashamed. Notice I didn't say it wasn't tasty. (Attention Kellogg's: awesome giveaway opportunity!!) At least I'm at work so nobody in my family can see me.
Now I'm going to tell you about something that IS on my husband's diet. I called this Pumpkin Yeast Bread in order to differentiate it from the famous and delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread (known world-over as PCCB), which one of us should put on here very soon...maybe someone who is allowed to bake...
This bread, like most foods, tastes especially good if you've just gotten back from a ten mile run in the snow.
Here's what I did:
I began with about 1/3 c of my sourdough starter that I had to "feed" anyway, but you can skip that part. Then I stirred together:
1 T yeast
1 T buckwheat honey
1 T kosher salt (put everything in a big bowl before you stir it in order to avoid the salt coming into direct contact with the yeast)
1 t cinnamon
1/2 c cider
1/2 c cornmeal
1 reg. size can pumpkin (not the big can)
1/2 c dried currants
2 eggs
2.5 c whole wheat flour
As you can see, this is on my husband's diet, because what is unhealthy here? I stirred/kneaded it all together until the flour was incorporated (about 50-100 strokes with a big metal spoon) and gave it warm rise for a couple of hours. Then I baked it on parchment on a stone at 350 degrees for 1 hr.
Speaking of Turkey and Tofurkey, maybe you can try this delicious bread when you come to my house for Thanksgiving (it's okay; you can bring your in-laws). Or you can just have a Pop Tart. I hear they make delicious breast milk.
I moss you,
Tofu
