I braved the roads in to downtown yesterday. I have a great car for the snow. Unfortunately my husband has a nice car that is not so great in the snow. Why do they even make rear wheel drive vehicles anymore? I left work early so he could get to his class and right when I got home, Creighton closed for the day. Probably a good thing since crazy drivers were all over the place fishtailing everywhere. The snow kept coming and again school was canceled. My boss text me this morning saying I could work from home or come in late...whatever I was comfortable with. I GREATLY appreciated that. Knowing Sean would again need the car and with my work computer on the fritz the last thing I wanted to do was drive in to find I can't do much because of my computer and then have to leave early. I was able to work remotely for a couple of hours.
So what to do? I made bread. ALLLLLLL Day. I didn't used processed yeast and only a starter so the first rising was 6 hours. The bread turned out amazing.

I made a double batch due to adding too much flower at the wrong time. I will freeze a couple of loaves. |
This bread is the best I've made so far. I had planned to do Fondue tonight for dinner but the bread wasn't ready. 6-8 hours for the first rising, 2-2.5 hours for the second, and 1-1.5 for the third with time to knead in between. Crazy.
Next time I make this I will make up the dough and let it rise while I sleep, then I should only need a spare 4 hours to babysit the bread. I use to think $3 a loaf was too much now I am thinking it's not enough.
I doubt anyone will want this recipe since it requires a starter (mine I started back in November) and takes so long. Let me know if you do and I'll post it. It makes exceptional bread.
