It feels like good therapy, so I keep a loaf on the go continuously. Besides, I bought this huge bag of whole wheat, organic, stone-ground flour last week, so have to use it up.
I just made two more loaves this morning, and my hubby reminded me that there were already 3 started, in the freezer:
You can see the two I took out of the oven (on rack), and the other three which we've been eating from.
topmost half loaf is the 100% whole wheat. It doesn't rise as much as the others, but tastes twice as tasty!
I find that breakmaking daily is really good therapy, esp if you're in a grieving process, or maybe just plain overloaded by life. I'm using a rustic, no-knead process where you let the bread rise overnight or more, then bake it in an enamelled cast iron pot, lidded for 30 mins, then lid off for 15.
Here's the pot: (and a bread I baked in it last month)
Warning: Baking (and eating) this bread can be addictive!
