Recipe: Jen’s Schiacciata
This is a story about bread bakers, King Arthur Flour, the Internet, and Facebook.
I’ll make it short because, unlike the slow-rising yeast breads so many of us love to bake, we don’t have time.
Time to get our work done, to connect as we’d like with family and friends, to stop and smell the roses (or at least pull a few weeds), or to spend even 30 seconds enjoying a beautiful sunrise.
Life today is go-go-go, 24/7. We’re assailed by electronically delivered information every waking moment.

Recipe: Roasted Vegetable Focaccia
Zucchini.
The fun just never ends, does it?
Sure, you can shred it to make cake, or frittata, or moist, raisin-packed muffins.
You can turn it into a restaurant-style (think bloomin’ onion) appetizer.
I’m so there.
Still, each of these recipes probably uses just one zucchini. Or maybe two small ones.
When what you really need, at this time of year, is something that actually makes a dent in the zuke supply.
The horn of plenty has suddenly become the horn of too much – what’s a gardener/baker to do?

A sultry summer day.
Heat and humidity so thick you can cut ‘em with a bread knife.
That shady deck or cool back porch calls to you, doesn’t it? A book, a drink, something to nibble on…
But aye, there’s the rub. For devoted DIY-ers, a bag of Cheetos just doesn’t cut it.
Which is why I’m sharing with you the easiest ever homemade crunchy bread sticks (no kneading!) and salsa dip (just two ingredients!).
