I made sourdough bread!!

[astartesyriaca]

Making bread has been my new sanity project.  My first two attempts didn't quite work - dense, bland, and in the case of the last, actually TOO sour.

Apparently the third time's the charm.  This time I started with some Extra Strong white bread flour.  I used the starter method described here.  That guy really seems to know his stuff, and explains

Ah, it looks lovely! I am, alas, not a sourdough fan, but I admire anyone who can produce such a pretty loaf!

Quiche tonight for me, yum.

I think I'd probably like it to eat it alone or to make a sandwich with it. The problem is that the only time I ever had it was at a Crackerbarrel restaurant where they used it for french bread! Yuck.

It looks delicious!

My brother-in-law has been getting interested in bread-making lately, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with the next time I visit.

Bread porn! My mouth waters.

It definitely looks far too good to go feeding to the birds. ;o)

If I called someone a "Skink" on a blog, and they complained, would Google rat me out? http://community.livejournal.com/anti_gravitas/313734.html
