These rye crispbread crackers are pefect with cheese. Even better you can use them with a pâté. Or even to dip into hummus. For April the Fresh From The Oven challenge was set by Jen over at Blue Kitchen Bakes. The challenge was to make Knackerbröd - Rye Crispbread which is literally a crisp bread.

After that a prayer would be said over the wine - … Continue reading Recipe For Challah (Kitka) Braided Bread

It feels like a year ago that I was offered the opportunity of hosting FFTO, and I just want to thank Claire of Purely Food and Michelle of Utterly Scrummy Food For Families for the opportunity.

I was hoping that the June Fresh From The Oven challenge would be up before I left work on the 1st of the month so that I could get it made on the first weekend and blog it the first Monday. This however did not happen, which in a way was a blessing as we had a … Continue reading Recipe For Pita Bread Using A Bread Maker
