Yesterday I brought the bread to a dinner party. When I offered it
was suggested that I bring a small loaf since there would be just
four people. I planned to bake something from the Bread Bakers
Apprentice, as I've started to make all the breads from that book,
however, I still had whole wheat sandwich dough in a bucket from
Healthy Bread in Five Minutes which needed to be baked.
I was trying to think of doing something a little different with that
dough and decided to swirl the loaf with toasted walnuts and small
pieces crystallized ginger. My husband was a little apprehensive
about the ginger, so I didn't use much, but the loaf turned out very
nice and it could have used more ginger. The flavors worked very
well together.
BTW: my bucket of hbin5 made 13 3-ounce sandwich rolls and one
8x4-inch loaf of bread. It is the first recipe that I've tried in that book.
