Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Sourdough Artisan Bread

It’s Wednesday, so that must mean a new sourdough experiment for the week! Sticking to my “learn about Ukrainian food” theme, this bread is a Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Sourdough Artisan Bread. The Ukraine produces some of the largest crops of sunflower seeds globally (although with Russian and other Eastern European countries). And the sunflower is also a symbol of peace in the Ukraine. So, this bread is meaningful and economically appropriate. The Ukrainians, I have read, also eat a lot of rye, so that will be next Wednesday’s experiment. In the meantime, this bread is moist, rounded (literally and figuratively), hearty and has good flavor with the sunflower seeds, whole wheat and honey.

Chocolate-covered, Butterfinger-Sprinkled
Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

This may be one of the most “American” things that I have ever made, and I am not exactly sure what prompted the “americanism” other than I actually ate a Butterfinger bar for the first time in my life the other day. I am not a huge fan of peanut butter on the whole — I like it as an ingredient in other things, but on it’s own, not so much. Nevertheless, these are delicious, if you like Rice Krispies treats (I do), chocolate and peanut butter (yes to both of those). AS an extra bonus, they are gluten free!

Sourdough Honey Oatmeal Almond Breakfast Bread

I had actually intended to make this bread sweeter than it turned out, and use it more like a breakfast bread, but turns out, it is a pretty perfect “all-purpose” sourdough loaf. Nice nuttiness from the almond meal gives it a great flavor, but also lends it to being a bit lower in gluten, so soft and moist as well. Very pleased with these results!

“Cheater” Puff Pastry Croissants

Here’s a quick and easy brunch recipe: “Cheater” Puff Pastry Croissants. Lot’s of ways to dress them up too: almond, chocolate, savory with ham and cheese. I had these ready in under 15 minutes and ready to eat 30 minutes after that, so a great option — remember to thaw your puff pastry the night before!

Oatmeal Nutella Bars

So, I guess I had one more Nutella-based recipe in me, as a carry over from World Nutella Bar, which was yesterday. These Oatmeal Nutella Bar are a riff on my usual crumble bars, only with two doses of Nutella and a bunch of oatmeal, they are more like crunchy granola bars. Maybe even healthy enough for breakfast, certainly delicious enough for a snack or pick-me-up. Quick and easy to make if you want to be making some yourself.
