The conquest of bread

[sabotabby]

Look I realize everyone is making sourdough these days but bread has always been the Final Boss Fight for me (well, that and the perfect macaron) and my first attempt turned out splooty and not good. My second attempt? Tastes like actual bread, except better because I made it myself.







It's a no-knead recipe and it's kind of flat because I don't actually own a proper loaf pan, so I had to use a giant casserole dish but whatever! It has the taste and texture of bread. It has a crust. It absorbs olive oil. I made it myself with the sourdough starter my friend mailed me. I can continue to make more and better breads! I can have toast and jam with my coffee tomorrow.

I am exceedingly excited about this.

That looks very tasty.

I want to make bread, but by the time I'm done cleaning all I want to do is sit. Tomorrow, tomorrow.

Agreed; an achievement is an achievement!

I have made bread before—and pizza dough—but yeast has always made me nervous. My mother literally couldn't bake [yeast] bread, although her mother always made babka with no measurements or anything.

Victory is yours!

The bread looks great, and I'm envious of your cat head cooling rack.

I feel like bread pics always make me crave bread. It's like a comfort food.

I love that you have a kitty cooling rack!

Breadmaking is awesome and I need to do more of it.

Speaking of pizza, pizza party chez moi once this is over. I'll provide the bases, everyone brings their favourite toppings, we make lots of pizza and eat it.

I’m getting bitten by the bread bug. What is it about going back to basics? Let’s make bread!
