I feel your pain. I very SELDOM get a loaf Right! I am NOT a bread baker. It looks like you have some good replies. Hope the next loaf works better. (I love fresh baked bread.) Mmmm
Oh yay! I'm glad it turned out so well! My grandma would be pleased too. That recipe is so quick and bakes up so nice that I hardly ever use any other these days.
Congratulations Cane, now you're a bread baker!
Conga Rats on becoming a Bread Baker! DH has been baking all our bread for about 4 years now, using the sourdough starter he made by mixing some flour and water and letting our local yeasts have at it. He uses the long-rising no-knead method and it makes the most delicious bread with a nice chewy texture and crispy crust. I posted the recipe over on the SS forum, but I haven't heard whether anyone has tried it. The reason we like the long fermentation style of bread is that it doesn't spike my blood sugar as badly as regular bread does.
