Bread

I'm doing it. I'm making my own bread. I wasn't sure about it. I mean, it's only marginally (if at all) cheaper than buying bread. Yes, it's much healthier, but frankly... very time consuming.

I, however, have lots of time to make bread. Also, one taste of the homemade bread and I am a complete gone-er. I'm buying more bread pans this weekend, plans to make three loaves at once.

Now, I don't know if I mentioned my previously failed homemade-bagel incident. It was a sourdough bagel recipe, but I think my starter was effed up. They were... well... hockey pucks. They sat like rocks in my stomach (and Blake's) for the entire night.

Last weekend, I used traditional, packet yeast to make bagels. They didn't have the flavor of sourdough, but they certainly are tasty.

The bread though, is from the starter. Awesome. Smaller than a store-bought loaf, but more bread I think. The store bought loaves are 80% air I think. The homemade bread is dense, and the sourdough flavor is so subtle and tasty.

So, let's see how long this homemade bread trend last. I hope forever.
