White Bread - Baking with Julia
Whoo Hoo!
It's Tuesday.
And we're back! It's the first week of
Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Julia edition.
For the past few years, a group of bloggers baked our way through the awesome Dorie Greenspan cookbook:
Baking from My Home to Yours. When that finished (4 years later), we all wanted to continue baking! So we embark on baking twice a month from the classic book
Baking with Julia - combining two treasures: Julia Child and Dorie Greenspan!
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Julia, the organizers Laurie and Jules are hosting our inaugural baking extravaganza!
Whenever I make bread, I wonder why I don't make bread more often! I love the chemistry of it all...all those little yeast molecules coming back to life.
I made 1/2 the recipe for one loaf. I raced home after work, kneaded the dough, and let it rise while I went to pilates. Then I punched it down and let it go for a second rise while I shopped at Costco. It was a multi-tasking night!
Thanks to my friend
Shannon, I was able to put lovely homemade
Apple Preserves on the bread. Thanks Shannon for this treat!

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about baking bread is the many ways it can be worked into "life's scheduling".

ReplyDeleteYour bread looks beautiful! I agree, maybe this will kick start me into baking bread more often.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when I bake bread. Of course, I never follow through and actually bake more. But again...I really should. Anyway, looks delicious!!
