March’s Kitchen of the Month is Kelly,
of A Messy Kitchen. For our challenge,
she chose Ksra, a Moroccan flatbread, from The New Artisan Bread in Five
Minutes. I was very excited about
this challenge for several reasons.
First, I love the technique. I don’t mind baking bread in the traditional
way, but the 5-minute technique is one of my favorites.
Second, I have this book on my
computer as an electronic file. The
reason? I’m the person who created the
index in the back of the book. That’s what
I do for a living, and I’ve worked on all the Zoe’s and Jeff’s books except for
their very first one. I’m always excited
when they are preparing for a new book, since I get an early peek at all the
yummy recipes.
For the Ksra, I substituted rye flour
for the barley flour, since that is what I had on hand. I prepared half the recipe, which gave me two
opportunities to bake. Both times, the
bread turned out fine. It was easy to
make and delicious as well.
I highly recommend any of the books in
the series. There is even one for
gluten-free bread baking, if that is important to you.
Meanwhile, I hope you will bake along
with us this month. You can find the
recipe on Kelly’s website. Send your story
and photos to Kelly by the 31st of March to be included in the roundup.
Be sure and visit the other Babe's website to read about their adventures with Ksra and 5-minute bread.
