It's finally baking season again- winter is coming! Er, I mean, it's already here. It's such a cliche, but "how time flies!" Thanksgiving is just around the corner and my fridge is happily filled with meat and root vegetables (pumpkins, squashes, sweet potatoes, beets...). I highly suggest to try incorporating root vegetables to your bread dough. You will be surprised at how much they can help with the texture and flavor- your bread gets so much moisture and aromas. Bonus points- you also end up with beautiful color from the root vegetable you use. Like today, I found these gorgeous purple potatoes from Freshdirect , which were actually rare to find here. I feel that they are definitely more of a seasonal thing, probably because purple color is more festive XD? They taste quite similar to regular sweet potatoes/yams, with a slight hint of special aroma if you ask me. RECIPE (finally!): Presoak the seeds for ~30min by combining: Flaxseed: 15g oats
