This weekend I made what might be the last peach and berry cobbler of the summer, as well as Italian bread. I tried a different bread recipe this time.

As previously, I used Nancy Baggett’s The All-American Dessert Book: High-Summer Cobbler with Buttermilk Biscuit Crust, using peaches and raspberries. And I added ginger and nutmeg, which the original recipe doesn’t use, but I do, because I LOVE nutmeg.

The Italian bread was from by Peter Reinhart’s book The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. It’s quite different from the recipe I usually make, from The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion: The All-Purpose Baking Cookbook A James Beard Award Winner (King Arthur Flour Cookbooks).

I’d meant to make pasta Monday night, so we could have Italian bread, but I forgot I had a haircut, so, perhaps today.
