This community looks pretty quiet. What better way to wake it up than with fresh bread?
I make a multigrain loaf for myself most weekends. My partner asked for rye a while ago, and happened to be out of bread today, so I made a loaf of that for him as well.
I've been doing a lot of pan breads like naan and tortillas lately. I'm waiting for the temperature to drop before I start baking again. I think on the next round I'm going to be doubling down on meals where bread is the main course and sauces and dips create the diversity.
Nom. I haven't tried making flatbreads yet. Any kind of bread is the perfect vector for various delicious goops.
My house is the perfect proofing temperature right now. Getting bread dough to rise in my kitchen during the cooler months takes some finagling.
I can't really control my house temperature right now. Tomorrow it will be 108f outside. I have two window units, one of them is as far from the kitchen as it can get and the other has no thermostat option. If I turn either one off the house becomes unlivable. At the end of this month things will change dramatically. Being able to reliably proof bread will be an option again.
Oof, that's awful. It got pretty close to that hot here a few weeks ago and it was miserable. I hope it cools off for you sooner than expected.
