Looks ready to play softball with...
The bread looks great in terms of color (and I sure did a good job with scoring the top!), but the loaf is smaller than expected. I haven't even cut it open to take a taste and I know I didn't knead it enough!
I probably should have watched this video first:
Epicurious.com's video on kneading bread.
Oh well. Hopefully it tastes somewhat decent. I will make a second attempt next week and will hopefully post a delightful loaf of bread, like my dear friend over at Sachi's Kitchen. I also used the Cook's Illustrated recipe, but maybe I will try her minor edits next time...
I haven't been blogging much lately, as I've been busy with the new job and holiday travels, but I hope to update more about life in Carson City once the new year begins!
hey! this looks super delish....how was it??? anyway, hope you had a great New Years -- looking forward to our next reunion already! :)
ReplyDelete:( It was a fail. I don't think I kneaded the bread enough (or at all - I just kind of squished the dough), and so the dough didn't rise enough. The bread was too dense and went in the trash can...but I'm going to make another attempt later this week. I'm also going to try your brussels sprouts too - wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteI also can't wait for our next reunion! Fishing? ;)
