Comments on: Farmer’s Bread http://www.pastrypal.com/2010/01/13/farmers-bread/ Learn to bake step-by-step with a pro pastry chef Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:10:32 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: rose http://www.pastrypal.com/2010/01/13/farmers-bread/comment-page-1/#comment-2004 rose Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:10:17 +0000 http://www.pastrypal.com/?p=2069#comment-2004 I absolutely enjoyed your intimate description of missing, then experiencing bread making. How neat that your dad shared his findings with you...ENJOY. I have begun to toss in a handful of the last of the old dough into the new with the yeast, salt, warm water and 2 cups of flour, mix and let it "age" for 2-3 hours in the kitchen before finishing it up and I get incredible activity and the SD comes through stronger each time (I use ABin5 and tweak it). I tried to get away from baking sweets all the time and this was the answer as you can embellish; Easter bread had 3-olive tapenade smeared over bit of bacon grease, cheese on top and it was a hit (in the shape of a Lamb done with cinnamon roll shaped body, separate tail, feet head, ears-Pepper Jack on top!). No end in sight............ I absolutely enjoyed your intimate description of missing, then experiencing bread making. How neat that your dad shared his findings with you…ENJOY.

I really don't make enough bread.....but hopefully I will be changing that soon. This loaf looks so crunchy good on the outside, and deliciously soft and complex on the inside. Interesting point you made about most places buying their bread in. Seems to be a split between pastry and bread to the outsider.....

I have to get on the ball. Memoria — Thank you. I'm working the next post as we speak. Laura — Yes, I have an easier time with pictures, too. Hope they inspire you to try the recipe. Deanna — Thanks! Elizabeth — Maybe it's really the glob of butter we both crave. :) Kate — Let me know how it goes if you do. Sunny — I miss you too. Hope you're doing well, over there. Christina — I've failed at a few bread recipes myself, but sooner or later, you hit on one that makes you wish you never had to eat store-bought again. Mrs Ergul — I know, I know, sorry.
