Last Weekends Baking...

Been meaning to post these pictures but time seems to fly by... Last weekend I did a bunch of baking for the after party of my nephew's baptism. My brother and sister-in-law asked for several loaves of bread. I did a regular sandwich rye and a marble rye. For one loaf of the marble rye, I tried a Winston Knot braid. It turned out pretty well and made for a nice loaf.


I also did a double batch of Vermont Sourdough. I played around with shapes a little and tried to make some small round loaves to use for soup. I tried 1/2 lb loaves but they turned out a little small. A 3/4 lb size would probably work better.
