The Bread Makes the Meal recipe contest has ended but not my commitment to helping you bake delicious, satisfying breads at home. Visit the Bread Baking page of my site for links or find bread recipes here.
Here is the text from the original Bread Makes the Meal celebration:
This fall baking season, I’m launching a month long celebration of baking bread at home—Bread Makes the Meal. Each week, for the next five weeks, I will share some of my favorite recipes, tips and tricks to entice you to make bread at home. (Here’s the recipe for Week One, Irish Wheaten Bread. Week Two, Butter Topped Toasting White Sandwich Bread. Week Three Pumpkin Rosemary Dinner Rolls. Week Four Country Wheat and Rye Boule.)
Bread Makes the Meal comes from a chapter title in Charlie van Over’s book The Best Bread Ever. (The chapter brings together all the things you can do with bread: from making sandwiches to canapés and bread salads.) The topic feels timely. It reminds me of the importance of meals shared with family and friends. In these unsettled times, don’t we all need something simple and restorative like bread and a meal to bring us together?
Emile Henry National Homemade Bread Day Contest
Speaking of friends, the team at Emile Henry is joining me in this celebration. They have put together a marvelous giveaway tied to National Home Made Bread Day, November 17, 2016. You can win this baker’s dream kit.
The prize includes an Emile Henry ceramic Bread Cloche, 6-quart Duralex glass bowl, Rösle Kitchen Digital Scale, Large Lékué Baking Mat, Shun Sora Bread Knife and a bag of King Arthur Flour. Imagine the fun you’ll have baking bread over the holidays.
To enter the contest, all you need do is submit one of your favorite bread recipes to the Emile HenryUSA Facebook page. You can enter as many times as you like beginning October 17, 2016. The one requirement is that you submit a different recipe each time. The winner will be selected in a random drawing on November 17, 2016.
And please, join my email list at the bottom of this page for my weekly recipes and baking tips. Charlie van Over will be lending his more than capable hands to this project too.
