I need to build up my bread making skills...but I do the Mark B. way too and it always turns out a fantastic beautiful rustic loaf. I've added wheat flour, cheese, onion powder, herbs and have always had a great loaf come out. If you're new to making bread and want to try new flavours I suggest only changing one or two things at a time (be a scientist!) so if something goes wrong you know what it might be. As you get to know your bread you can get even more creative :)

And for the Mark B. bread I've used a large dutch oven but I have also used a hard anodized pot with a lid (the one I use to boil large quantities of noodles) and it turned out just as well as the loaf done in the dutch oven.

Kind of generic but I'm a huge abuser of cajun seasoning. It usually has some combo of garlic, onion, chili, and paprika powders, plus some other things depending on who makes it. It is FANTASTIC with savory dairy items, especially cheesy things from your comforting grilled cheese or mac'n'cheese to creamy garlic pasta and chicken. Sometimes I even put a little on my cottage cheese.

Lavender is another favourite. I use it with poultry. It adds a lovely depth without being too perfume-y. I make a chicken mushroom stew that handles lavender really well and I miss it if I don't put it in.

I use fresh cilantro a lot but have never really used coriander seed. What's the best way to use it?
