Battle of the Breads

My luck with making bread on my own has been anything but good. Starting out as what i'll call a solid brick, and each attempt slowly making its way towards perfection. Behold the perfect loaf! The only problem with making such awesome bread is now i have to match it or top it next time around.
Here is my adorable wife eating a hot slice of perfection. And i know she liked it because she snuck another slice when she thought i wasn't paying attention.
Now i've got another one in the oven and one rising. Its time to go win over our neighbors with a hot loaf of 100% whole wheat bread. If any of you were expecting this to be super long sorry to disappoint you, I'll spare all the details. If you'd like to learn the secrets check out www.artisanbreadinfive.com and buy their book. Its a great way to wow your friends and family and overcome the bread curse.

I like my "pinky up" method of eating that bread ... that makes it authentic fancy designer bread. I actually snuck 5 slices while you had your back turned.

well it sounds like you two have made the transition to married life quite smoothly. bringing bread to the neighbors already? what is this leave it to beaver? no, but seriously good work on the little bakery. would you guys mind giving us a married life 101 course in a couple months?

Awwww, Uncle Mitchie, do you have to do everything better than me?? Can I have lessons? I pay in cookies. Sound familiar?

Ohh Barb, I don't do everything better than you. You should have see all my failed attempts at cinnamon rolls. I'll show you how to make that bread if you want.

And Morgy, I can teach you married life 101 but thats about it.... if you're looking for any upper level courses talk to Barb, she's got her PH-D.

I'm so proud! I've raised such a good house-husband. That bread looks amazing! But you're right about one thing--you're too young to be making perfect bread because where can you go from here? And is this turning into a food blog?

Mitchell said...

whoa whoa, I haven't posted a single recipe. This blog highlights my happenings, and food is just a big part of what I do.

I'm not sure where I will go from here, but where ever it may be.... you can read all about it right here.
