Mmm... bread! Part 3


It is almost done!  I can smell it baking right now -- ooh, it smells good.
This morning I had to mix it once more, then let it sit another 2 hours.  Then the instructions said to use a bunch of flour and form the dough into a log.  Cut the log in half and press out on floured parchment paper.  I don't own parchment paper, and although I read the directions before starting two days ago -- apparently I didn't notice I would need it.  So, I skipped the paper and just floured the baking pan.  Anyway, I spread the dough out and covered it and let it set for another 2 hours.  Then the two loaves baked for 30 minutes...
I just pulled them out of the oven and... tah dah!

I don't know if this is the way they are supposed to look, but they sure do smell good.  I can't wait to taste it.  Whether it tastes good or not, at least I have managed to bake something.  Hopefully by the end of the year I will be proficient.

I didn't make any butter this time. I have done that before though -- I love homemade butter!

You rock!!! I love the new blog and I am so impressed with your baking skills! I need to work on my bread making skills too, but gluten free bread is a whole different thing.
