I have always been a cook: meat, fish, hors d'oeuvres, soup and salad. But never a baker. My goal this year was to learn how to make bread. Many failures, some success. Flat breads a breeze, but a good risen loaf nearly impossible. Today I made the perfect loaf. it rose exactly as it should have, three times: first as a mash mixture, second as a boule, and lastly in the bread pans. It is a white caraway. They almost look like chickens with their tucked in bases. They are fluffy inside, a billion bubbles in the bread architecture. The crust is firm, solid and just the right crunch. Home made bread, butter and honey. Mmm.For 2010 I have decided on savory pies.
