Soft & Chewy Italian Bread #SecretRecipeClub

It’s Secret Recipe Club Day ! In SRC, members are secretly assigned another blog, search through the recipes, make something, and then reveal! Interested in joining? Click that link for all the details! This month, I was assigned Micha’s blog, Cookin’ Mimi and I was so excited! I absolutely drool over Micha’s recipes every reveal day! Micha grew up cooking with her granddaddy and mother and it turned into her own love of cooking. She focuses on traditional southern cooking, American comfort foods, and a mix of ethnic recipes – it’s my kind of cooking! I had such fun delving into Micha’s recipes.

I recently finished reading the Baker’s Daughter by Sarah McCoy. The novel follows Elsie and her family during WWII in Germany. Elsie’s family (at least somewhat) sympathized with the Nazi party (more so, they did what they were told to keep their livelihood). It was fascinating to read a story from the perspective of a regular German citizen. The story also has a second, modern day point of view character, Reba.

Since Elsie came from a family of Bakers (thus the title), there were many amazing breads described throughout the story. However, the one that stood out the most and had a prominent role in the story were the Brotchen Rolls. Brotchen Rolls

Steakhouse Garlic Butter

Today is National Steak House Day…um ok. Gotta love those random holidays! Ha! So what to make? Steak is the obvious choice, but Hubs and I agree that the steakhouses do it better. Hubs can grill a good steak, but honestly, the ones someone else makes are always better. So I decided to make steakhouse butter in an attempt to take our own steaks up a notch.
