My new measuring cups are getting lots of
good use!
This is the bread that I baked
last week when I went to practice
highway driving for the second time.
The yeast bloomed well and rose nicely!
And I remembered to score the tops!
Mr. Husband and I enjoy this toasted
with jam.
I froze the second loaf in preparation for a friend
coming to tea.
How did your highway driving go? I remember being intimidated by it at first but I love it now. The bread looks very good. Where did you find the recipe?
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! I still have to do more driving... have not done any highway in over a week but I did drive locally! :))))
ReplyDeleteThe bread is lovely and fast friendly!!! It's a recipe my friend posted for me on FB as a bread maker recipe, so I made it 'normally' so it's kind of my recipe :) see links for more info :) the lemon version (which I am still not as satisfied with) is fully my recipe :)))
It looks fantastic! Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh, this sounds so nice, and seasonal!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely. I'm a lousy bread maker (just ask Fr. M. about the one and only time I was asked to bake the prosphora. You know it's bad when the priest feels obliged to explain to the parish before bringing out the antidoron that it's someone's first time making prosphora). I admire those who have the patience and skill to bake bread, and I enjoy eating the fruits of their labours.
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had great people help teach me! In Ottawa and in NJ!
That is so cute, the story about Fr. M and your baking prosphora; I can just hear him say this announcement with this usual gentleness! :)
Well, if we were closer, you could have some of my bread!
You're correctly imagining how he announced it, but I still wanted to crawl under the music stands. Thanks for the wish to share. It looks like it would make lovely toast
DeleteI'm imagining how good your whole place smelled while that bread was baking!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get those measuring cups? They are SO pretty! ♥ Your bread looks beautiful. I made a batch of prosphora yesterday and unfortunately left them in the oven too long....so I will be making another batch today.
ReplyDeleteYum!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my... that looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteoh my... that looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think you could say that your bread was a big success! Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteMartha ~ a gift to me from a dear NJ friend; she got them at Anthropologie.
ReplyDeleteThanks all! Yes, it is really great bread and the house did smell great!
Nancy, yes, I can just see Fr. M. saying it so gently! and yes, the bread toasts very well!
I like the rustic look of homemade breads. And yours looks delicious!
