I got a Kitchen-Aid mixer for my birthday (fire-engine read). The first thing I made with it was whole wheat bread. While we were in Napa, we got to see a talk by Edward Espee Brown, the Buddhist monk who cooked at Tassajaro. I also picked up his “Tassajaro Bread Book” which is full of great recipes. Somehow, I don’t think Ed would approve of the mixer since, in his words, “you have to work on the bread while it works on you” but I enjoyed how quickly it kneaded the bread.

Best served right out of the oven with honey!

4 out of 4 spoons.
