Oops, I misread your post. You do know about the recipes here as you wrote about the burger buns. I understand now . I also have baquettes that I made that turn out well, but not Rose’s recipe.

Yep, here they are: http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/2008/07/golden_burger_buns.html

(Oh, now I’ve done it, I’m committed to making them I guess!)

Can’t wait to see it Silke! I’m sure it’ll be fabulous. So far we have focaccia and burger buns. Nice variety!

Of those posted on the blog, these are two of my all time favorite breads:

(Possibly my favorite from the Bread Bible, esp. the pecan/raisin version)

So are we going to see one of them coming from you, Matthew?

Oh, I’ve already made them Just adding a recommendation if anyone wants to use a recipe from the blog.

OK, then, it looks like we’re doing bread for May, yipee!  Should we do buttercream for June?

Silke, please report back (or post on your blog) about DL’s chocolate bread.  I sometimes buy a whole wheat ciabatta with chocolate chunks, and am looking for a homemade replacement (makes fabulous peanut butter sandwiches).

Matthew, I’ve only made 3 recipes from the Bread Bible, they are the Pecan Raisin, Olive Bread, and Pizza Dough. Of them, I’ve made the Pecan Raisin so often. Even made it and brought to a friend in the Bay Area (the bread got rave reviews!).

Julie - buttercream for June sounds good. I love that we are efficient, to have 2 themes already .

I think I may have to do my kitchen warming party in June then so I can make a nice buttercream something for that

Oooh yay! I thought we were going to have a specific type of bread, hehe, and was hoping it would be something I can do! LOL This is great! It is going to be a fabulous month, yes it is! I will figure out what I am doing later tonight, can’t wait!

You will also find 4 or 5 of Rose’s bread recipes on epicurious.com….just search on her name.

My pita bread is in the fridge rising, I am so excited and can’t wait to start seeing everybody else’s creations! I will forewarn you all that this is still a learning experience for me! It has been over a year since I have made anything with yeast! I’ve been on a pretty intense cake run *yum yum*

It has been over a year since I have made anything with yeast!

Perfect, this bake-off will challenge you (me, too, I need to develop my bread skills).

The pita are a great choice—so much better than store bought!

I agree, Matthew. I just finished baking them, they have me convinced I will NEVER buy pitas again! The extra slow rise contributed to an amazing aroma, ahhhh. Do I post photos here or on a different thread?

ETA: I just started a new thread for the May Bake-Off under Show and Tell. Hopefully nobody minds?
