This makes two decent sized loaves, so for a 48 hour life expectancy of the bread, I’ll be making a double recipe to foster Co-op Love. Also, this will insure that the Sabres win tonight, as the last time I listened to the game on the radio as I baked bread for the house, they did in fact win. I’m sure this has deep and profound significance. (The last game when we lost? I wasn’t baking bread. I was watching in High Definition at my sisters house, trying not to covet. And failing.)
Thanks for the wonderful recipe! I can’t wait to share it with my friends – the way I share all of your interesting posts :)
:) Thank you for the fine compliments and for the sharing. I hope you enjoyed the bread. I’m looking forward to making it again for my house.
