As Hosea Would Say, "Bah!"
Posted by Matt
Those three loaves of tasty, tasty sandwich bread were the fruit of my labor last Saturday morning. For the last two months or so, Jeni and I have been baking all of our bread, buying only tortillas and naan at the market. (We've made tortillas from scratch, which are amazing but take way too much effort, and just haven't gotten around to trying naan yet.)
I've also become an expert slicer. We freeze the loaves in halves of about 8 or 9 slices each. The bread can be toasted from frozen or left to thaw in the fridge. I think the process might actually improve the flavor. By the way, this is the recipe we use, tweaked a bit, of course.
Later in the day on Saturday we made these two loaves of challah for communion at church on Sunday. Jeni did the mixing and kneading and I did the braiding.
We ended up making these loaves longer than we usually do, and one of them didn't even fit on our baking stone. Instead it seeped off the side and baked into a sort of droopy tongue, pressed up against the door of the oven. Yeah, I cut that bit off Sunday morning.
