Yeasty Breakfast Carbs......

Made steak (prime top sirloin left over from New Year's Eve), eggs, creamed spinach with paneer (also left over), and yeast biscuits with homemade lime marmalade for tonight's dinner.

Yes dinner. Okay, it was dinner -- but steak and eggs should get some kind of dispensation. Besides, breakfast is always a great dinner.

I like to have some sweet bread on hand for breakfast - When the kids were little, i used to make whole grain sweet raisin breads, wheat, rye or oatmeal, with molasses, with honey, with malt, usually with a cinnamon swirl. I still like to make it for myself. It was one of the many things i missed a lot when i came to live abroad and had to learn how to make.

I also make a variation on no knead bread, and almost always have that available and will have it for breakfast, which is the one meal when i absolutely can;t live without bread.

But my absolute favorite is english muffins. Also it's the one i do most rarely because it's annoying to make them. I like the big holed ones like Thomas makes in the states. I was able to make them without the baking powder that lots of recipes call for, and without cooking in a frying pan (takes forever and i always burn them) aqnd i actually got the same texture, but it's a pain in the neck anyway. I wish i could just buy them. I go oftern to london, but there the "muffins" are small-holed and too soft.

The other breakfast things i do are baking powder-risen - pancakes, muffins, cornbread.
