Homemade bread...

Also known as "Gumma Bread"

My old sourdough recipe i have been working on for a few years now. I wish you could smell it....

Baking Day

The whole house smells so good this morning. Right after i woke up i took some fresh dough out of the fridge to rise on the stove, to bake our favorites...This loaf is my personal favorite....Poppy seed bread. The crust is so crunchy and aromatic with the poppy seeds....Inside it is just so moist and flavorful. I cut myself a slice and drizzle it with olive oil and it is bread nirvana....

Actually, if i had an outlet for fresh bread every single day, then every day would be baking day. Ever since i got this book, i have enjoyed baking all of my own bread. The bread in the photo above, is Deli style rye with caraway seeds... YUM! I think this is Bill's favorite, and my Dad's too.
And now that i have been making the dough regularly, it has become more like a sourdough, which only adds to the yeasty goodness.... Ok, i think i just talked myself into having a slice....Have a great day!
