A sweet, savory and nutty bread – the Peshawari Naan. The aromas wafting through the kitchen while baking the peshawari naan are simply irresistible and so is the taste when the naan is baked and ready to be enjoyed. This month the theme for Bread Bakers was ” A touch of grape”. Stacy, who authors the gorgeous blog Food Lust People Love, was the host and this is what she said about the theme – “Make any kind of bread with grapes! They can be roasted, dried (as in raisins) candied, jellied, etc. as long as they are used in …
Bhatura – Leavened Fried Bread #BreadBakers
I wrote and rewrote the introduction to my bread, Bhatura, for this post. You see, this post is for the “Bread Bakers” group.

Piroshky – The Russian Stuffed Pie

We readily and greedily agreed and put it at the top of our list when we visited the market. The day was warm and sunny. Oh yes! We did get sunshine and warmth in the middle of a Seattle winter. So we set out …
