bread


White Sandwich Bread, Straight Up! I made bread. It took about 20 hours. I made a biga, which is a sort of starter for breads the night before and let it rise for about 15 hours. I then incorporated the gooey biga into the rest of the flour and water, with a little more yeast and salt. The bread had to rise two more times and bake for about 45 minutes. Its very dense with a moist crumb and a delicious, firm, golden crust. This is my 3rd attempt at bread baking and I'm getting really excited to rely on myself for all my bread needs.
