| Mural at Zingerman’s Bake House, Ann Arbor. Len took a rye bread baking class there last week. |
 |
| The bake house, the classrooms, the creamery, the candy shop, and the coffee shop are all together in a sprawling semi-industrial complex. |
 |
| It was a beautiful day, and we had a quick snack before he went into the classroom. |
 |
| The small, dark rye went very well with salad and black bean “meatballs.” As it was a German-style bread, I tried for German-style flavor (but meatless). |
NOTE: How to make these black bean “meantballs” — Combine and mash the following with a potato masher: 1 beaten egg, 1 can of drained black beans, 10 finely chopped pecans or walnuts (= 2 tablespoons), 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, ground caraway seeds, and herbs to taste. Form into 8-10 small patties, chill for a while to firm them up, and fry them in oil on medium heat. Serve with yogurt sauce flavored with capers and herbs.

The bread looks truly outstanding. Good bread is so hard to find. We used to buy sourdough from a local bakery but I think they must have hired a new baker because the bread is inferior, and we stopped buying it.
This must be a fun time for your husband. The results look yummy! Hugs-Erika
That is a great project!
I get Zingerman's catalog frequently. Jealous you're able to visit there. The black bean meatballs sound delish!!
Rick took baguettes there and has been using their recipe ever since. I took coffee/tea cakes and haven't used the recipes but should really dig them out. The crumb cake was especially good. I'd love to do that again! Every year I say I will sign up for Christmas cookies -- then I forget till its filled!
Hello,
The homemade bread looks just delicious. The meal with the salad and bread looks yummy. Love the cute mural! Take care, have a great new week!
Lovely excursion (and class)! Thanks for the black bean meatball recipe. I've got a new veg member of the family (mostly) coming for the holidays!
Nice murals, but lovely looking bread. I would LOVE to try the "meantballs" recipe.
voilà une affiche amusante pour un projet très intéressant.
Ohhh what a fun place. We just don't have things like that here. The bread looks just amazing. I make black bean meat too. Have a great day.
Lovely mural and looks cheerful too...
Thanks for sharing,Have a great day!
Did he learn anything new? The dark rye loaf looks so tasty.
That sounds exciting! And thank you for the recipe!
Off to get Ingo´s bread from his "special" bakery soon. Ack.. 2 km one way. In the darn cold.
Nothing like home-baked bread. In the last 2 years I started baking bread at home, but my husband and I were eating a loaf every 2 days!! so I stopped baking, lol.
Cute mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.
Nice salad. Interesting meantball recipe.
