Hybrid Yeast – Alegre Bread

Pesto Swirl Sourdough w/ Sun-dried Tomatoes and Pecorino Romano

I made some pesto the other day to serve with some veggies and pasta and ended up with some left over. It sat in the fridge for a day or two before I finally started itching to use it in something. What better way than to throw it in bread! I also had some extra…

Flaxmeal, Wheat bran w/ Oats Sourdough

I’m always searching for a great bread for toasting that’s packed with grains, wheat and fiber.

Spent Grain Hybrid Loaf

In addition to baking a ton of bread, I also brew a lot of beer. Not one to let things go to waste, I like to take some of the spent grain from the mashing process of beer making, dry it in the oven and then blend it into a flour and use it in…
