Roxana'S Home Baking Bread Recipe

This Whole Wheat Pumpkin Challah is an easy to make homemade bread that is perfect for fall or any time you are craving pumpkin bread.

I have a wonderful treat for you today. The talented Roxana of A Treats Affair (formerly known as Roxana's Home Baking) is visiting the asylum today to share a recipe with all of us.

Honestly, I love Roxana's blog, she is so creative and knowledgeable. We met through Foodbuzz back when it was the place for us food bloggers to connect.

Vegan Soda Bread

I am hoping to be well enough in a couple of months to actually get to meet Roxana in person. We are both planning on attending the same event, so let's all cross our fingers I get the okay to do small trips from my doctor.

I'm hoping against hope I am able to go since I'm super excited to be able to sit down and talk to her in person. Maybe whoop it up a little. Well, as much as us moms actually whoop things up I suppose.

I promised Roxana we'd all skype her daughter while we're there. She may think her mom has been kidnapped by a bunch of lunatics. She may not be that far off the mark.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I'm a stay at home mom and wife juggling between kitchen and playroom and everything in between. My little lady bug is soon to be three and I'm her favorite play-pal. From tea parties and picnic with the dolls to cookie baking, we do everything together.

When Kim asked me to guest post for her I was debating if I should make a turtle something (since as you probably know that's her weakness) or candy something.

In the end I decided to go with a pumpkin Hersey's kisses brownie but this week is bread-tastic week on A Treats Affair so here I'm with a loaf of bread combining my passion for yeast baking and the wonderful warming fall flavors.

Baking with yeast is such a wonderful thing. You mix it with water and wait for the foam to appear, then with a handful of ingredients and a lot of love and patience you watch it come to life.

And then, the smell takes over the kitchen while the bread is in the oven. There's nothing in this world as comforting as the smell of freshly baked bread.

Take the loaf when it's done baking and share it with your loved ones. Toss a salad, a bowl of hearty soup, spread some butter on the warm bread and enjoy!

When I start blogging I had no idea what blog actually is. It took me about a year to figure few things out and now, after two years, I still don't know everything but I like to believe I'm doing OK.

Transcend The Bran Muffin: One Woman's Manifesto For Whole Grain Baking

The idea of starting a blog came to me one day as a way to get rid of the pile of recipes and notes I had around the kitchen.

My favorite part .... Hmmmm the eating 🙂 Joking, sort of. One of my favorite part is receiving emails from my readers letting me know they tried one of my dishes and everyone loved it. I also love I got to meet other people who love food as much as I do. (My mommy friends just don't get me)

Whole

Yes and no. Sometimes I get mean emails or blog comments. Probably the worst one was a couple of months ago from someone demanding to send her money for the ingredients she used because she didn't like the cake.

Nut Free Cranberry Bread

It depends. If I take into consideration the time to shop, bake, clean and photograph the dish, then probably around 80 hours a week. If it's just computer time, then maybe 1-2 hours a day. I wish I had more free time, but my daughter is a handful.

Wake up around 5.30 - 6 am, make a cup of tea or coffee and start working on my blog (either write the post itself, edit photos, read/reply to emails. Around 7, sometimes even earlier, Tiffany wakes up and computer time is over.

We go in the kitchen, have breakfast and shortly after either we get ready for a play-date or do some school work.

Sunflower Seed Bread Maker Recipe

At lunch we usually have a salad and some leftovers from the previous night or something that can be put together in less than 30 minutes. Around 1 Tiffany takes a nap and this is the time I tidy up around the house and photograph something for the blog.

Around 9 Tiffany is going to bed and if I'm not completely brain-dead I turn the laptop on and work on my blog

Cream

Yes, she does. She's still too young, but she's my sous-pastry-chef. She hands me measuring cups, spatulas and turns the mixer on or off, as needed.

Classic Oatmeal Bread Recipe

I LOVE my double wall oven, although sometimes (when we have friends or family over) I could use a third one. I wish I had more counter space and I hope by the end of 2013 that wish comes true.

That's a hard one to answer. I love Ina Garden ( there's something about her warm voice) but I'd love to meet and bake along with Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito,  Peter Reinhart,  Chad Robertson and learn from them more baking secrets.

18. If you were asked to be on a cooking show and they told you to bring the dish that best represents you what would you bring?

I hope by then we'll have the house decorated as we want or even better build the house of our dreams with an orchard and a small area to ride horses.

When I'm done baking it's not a pretty sight. Some evenings there's absolutely no counter-space and ALWAYS I tell myself I'll clean as I go starting next day. Never did, doubt I'll ever do it.

I chose to make Roxana's Chocolate Swirl Bread. It was calling my name in a big way. I didn't make many changes, why mess with perfection really. We had toblerone from Christmas. Hubs was a wee bit mad that I scoffed part of his giant-sized chocolate bar. You'd think by now my family would be used to me stealing chocolate. I mean hello, it's me people. I've been known to steal an entire box of Turtles on occasion. Anyhow, I stole a
