This is a couple of updates on recipes that I have previously posted, the first is nut bread which is the latest in experimentation of additions to my basic bread recipe.
Unfortunately I did not get a picture of the finished bread, but believe me when I tell you it was beautiful. The picture above is what it looked like just before placing in the oven. I made my foccacia bread recipe let it raise for 1 hour then added 1 cup of roasted nuts. I had on hand 1/4 cup pecans and the remainder was pumpkin seeds. I cooked this bread in the same way as the no knead bread in order to give it a crusty exterior.
The nuts were a great addition, though in fact in this picture you can hardly see any, the flavour of the nuts permiated the whole loaf. There were 4 couples for dinner and this bread was completely gone before dinner, eaten with some wonderful flavoured olive oil and balsamic vineger.
Update number 2 is Peach pie. At the end of the day, I believe peach pie is my favourite pie, and as we had some good friends coming down from the Okanagan with some fresh peaches I had to make a pie.
