Happy Homebody Monday to you!
A beautiful winter day, filled with sunshine.
Today was a bread day, new mixer & sunshine how about that!
I was sick all of last week, and am getting energy back, I was anxious to try not only the new mixer but the process of the "sponge" or autolyze.
I used the one loaf recipe provided at
To date this is the most beautiful loaf of wheat bread I have made. Took less time to rise, and rose higher than without the autolyze method, so it is a keeper.
I let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes, which is the sweating period. I learned that using this method, it slid right out of the pan, no utensils. It is turned on it's side to cool thoroughly.
As with most things which are worthwhile, they are often not the easiest. There are learning curves, you just keep at it.
I'm not saying I am a master, but have come a ways from September when I started milling my own wheat and making bread with it.
Real Bread, real flour...
Want to learn more....
I would encourage you to begin,
~ The joy is in the making~
