Another yeast experiment but this recipe used all white flour, which is probably why I actually got a nice "smooth and unsticky" dough. And it tasted good, what with the 6 tablespoons of sugar along with dry milk, an egg, 6 tablespoons of butter, the flour and yeast. I still cannot begin to duplicate (and certainly will never surpass) those wonderful breads easily available in most bakeries, so this is a dilemma: how many more kneading sessions shall I do? Or do I begin skipping most of the bread recipes? It's a time-intensive way of feeding the birds, which is how most of the bread ends up. I did freeze the second "rich" baguette, but it was nothing special.
This blog is currently about what I call my Blue Goose adventure - a year-long trip through every state (except Alaska and Hawaii) visiting National Wildlife Refuges. Not all are open to visitors, but my goal is to see at least one in every state. I am now halfway through the year and heading south.
