No baking plans yet, either. I finished the last of the cinnamon rolls last night, so I'll make another batch at some point.

I made Ballymaloe Brown Bread from Simon Pearce's cookbook. His mother had given the original recipe to the Allens (they lived nearby) and then Mrs. Allen adapted it. Simon Pearce's restaurant uses an Irish wholemeal from Ireland, but says you can substitute KAF Irish-Style Flour. The KAF is lower in protein so I subbed in a cup of bread flour for one cup of the Irish-Style

This version is made with yeast and it was supposed to have a quick rise. It started out great in the oven. After I took the loaves out of the pan and put them upside down on the rack for the final phase of baking, I noticed they had shrunk. As I turned around, I glanced at the recipe and noticed that I had forgotten the salt 🙄 which explains a lot.

Good news is the texture and flavor are fine, but the salt will certainly enhance it next time.

Oh, CWC design--I hate it when I make those mistakes. Maybe some salted butter will help the bread?

For Sunday breakfast, I made Pumpkin Oat Wholegrain Belgium Waffles. Annie, our dog, loves waffle mornings, and she gets tidbits from both of us, since Scott has his waffles first, and then I have mine while I finish cooking the rest. I had eight left over, which I froze for future quick breakfasts.
