I was looking up for high-altitude baking websites and found a blog similar to this one (and which I cannot find again, of course) and it reminded me of the Julie and Julia blog. I thought about undergoing similar journey as Julie with Julia's cookbook, in my case with the Bread Bible from the great Jewess. But there are many recipes I already know I won't be able to get all the ingredients or equipment for.... and that would mean improvisation on a big part of the book... Plus, it would be a plain copying of someone else's idea. So, no. At least not now.
BTW, the dog snores.
The bread, after about 40 minutes of rising time, one can see how the dough spreads in the basket.
and than to the hot hot oven and voila:
Smells really nice (which freshly baked bread does not, right?) and although it is flat, it also feels light and so I hope in a great texture. Can't wait till tomorrow.
BTW, Chompy stopped snoring in the meantime.
happy you have so much fun with the bread bible book....i thought you would when i saw it :)
