Back in Business
Today it’s way too chewy and the burnt flavour of the crust dominates, although the inside is kind of nice when I tear the crust away.
I’ll eat the loaf, and I’ll experiment with bread baking again. Previously I didn’t want to go there because it seemed like too much effort and I don’t have the counter space for kneading, but starting with a no-knead, simple bread was a good introduction. I could always knead on a table. Hell, if I’m really short on space (for example, my next home has little counter space and no table) I’ll lay down some parchment paper on the back of a cookie sheet the floor and knead dough on that.
I want to try baking a challah some time.
