“She heard the air whooshing into the big bellows in the forge and the practice tap for range of hammer on anvil. She heard Liza open the oven door and the thump of a kneaded loaf on the floury board.”
East of Eden, John Steinbeck
Inspiration
Introduced to whole grain bread at a conference, I marveled at the nutty taste. It was so different from the white bread we usually ate. The whole grain bread was fragrant and satisfying. Held in a redwood grove near the coast in northern California, it was a typical foggy, damp, coastal morning. When we arrived, we were offered warm-from-the-oven, whole grain bread with butter and honey. The bread warmed our spirits and filled us with whole grain nourishment. The memory of whole grain bread and warm honey has stayed with me. This recipe for Easy Milk and Honey Whole Grain Bread is my ode to that day.
