This month I actually ran out wheat flour(gasp!). I make a loaf or 2 every week and wheat flour is usually everywhere on the counter and me most days. It gave me a reason to open my cabinets and use other flours. Yesterday I whipped up a berry loaf with Pearl Millet(Bajra), Spelt, Kamut and bread flour. The color was totally whacky. Blue-pinkish because of the berries and the pearl millet flour gave it a greyish hue. It looks funky but tastes berrylicious! I need to schedule a organize all baking cabinets day soon, or maybe mom will do it when she visits 😉 She cannot stand the mess:)
What can you use this chocolate swirl bread for…hmmm. eat a slice warm as is, top it with some melted chocolate or salted caramel(yumm) or nut butters.. mmm.. or make some french toasts! Tiramisu, Samoa, Molten Lava. Heck yeah. Make some french toasts!
You can add some chocolate chips between the swirls for a gooey chocolate layer, then drizzle some melted chocolate on each slice for a quick chocolate roll 😉 Told ya , I am on mocha roll. you can skip the coffee in the chocolate layer and make chocolate and vanilla layered bread.

Love the soft look you have given to your photos. With this brown cloth and flowery blue one, the colour and texture of bread has come out neatly ..
Thanks Nupur. Photograhy is long and continuous effort for me unlike cooking which comes more easily. The compliments definitely make me happy:)
Oooo what a beautiful loaf!
Richa are you taking some photography courses? Since couple of months I’ve been noticing something different in your pictures. Very, very pretty!
Thanks Nisha!:) Nope.. just experimenting on my own with the camera, lighting etc. and looking at the food photographers for composition ideas. I can never figure out composition:) Some times i end up taking more than a 100 pictures which are not fun to edit.:)
arre baap re. editing or even choosing out of the 100 pictures, that too when you post regularly – definitely a lot of work!
50 is the current average. i am hoping to improve on that too. pictures definitely take more time than the actual cooking.
lovely bread with beautiful texture…
