Texas

I spent the week in Texas for the 2011 NCAA's Indoor Track &Field Championships. We qualified a girl's Distance Medley Relay, and finished third behind Villanova and Oregon.

Got to spend the day in Austin, where we spent a couple hours with some local residents. Lucky for us, they had just pulled three loaves of their homemade bread out of the oven: Using a new method: "No Knead, No Rise Bread". They made Olive, Multi-grain (Top Image)  and quite possibly the most delicious breakfast bread I have ever tasted... Cheddar Bacon Bread (Bottom Image)

There wasn't even a huge amount of bacon or cheddar because it was not too rich, yet not too subtle either. The fact that they were baked into the bread gave it a smoky flavor.

One of my teammates told them, "Fry an Egg and put it in between two slices of this bread, and you've got a money maker."

  1. Those breads look delicious. Can you tell us more about the no knead, no rise bread? How do you make it?
