Author Description

The focus of this ninth book in the Baker’s Dozen series is the sweet loaf of quick bread, baked in cast iron. Whether you are miffed by muffins or just a bit emotionally overdrawn from a pandemic gone endemic, it is time to start cast iron loafing. No granulated sugar is used in this set of recipes. Only natural sweeteners like dates, raisins, and sorghum syrup are used. While a cast iron loaf pan is recommended, you can bake any of these loaves in a cast iron skillet if that is what you have. All recipes are dairy- and egg-free. Even a lazy baker can make these recipes. There is no worry about dividing batter evenly into a muffin mold. Just mix and dump the whole thing into one pan and bake. You can even cut a piece the perfect size you are looking for once it is baked. Loafing never tasted so good.
