One of the most often baked things at the Gale Estates. So, so, so good.
That first fresh warm bite is - heavenly!
I should make this into a painting or a picture to hang!
Such a fulfilling view...
I can never have enough of this stuff…
Fresh out of the dutch oven.
The best way is to first cut it in the middle. The crunch, the smell, the feel…
Two halves same amazing taste.
Then you slice one half in quarters.

Another day another bread
I was told I am not allowed to cut into this one yet…. I’m very tempted however.
What a beautiful sight…

Christmas bread
Christmas present about to be put to use.
The sound, the crunch, the precision. Time will tell how long we’ll use this bread cutting tool, but for now, this Christmas present is getting used as intended.
We keep on baking…
Another day, another bread, another slice eaten…

Sometimes messy, never not tasty
Fresh out of the oven. The crackling sound it makes is fascinating. Next time I’ll just record it.
The first step is to always cut it in half and often in quarters.
And then comes that first bite! Heaven! It kind of makes sense why Jesus talks about himself as being the bread of life’s. I mean, objectively speaking - no other food tastes better.

We started baking during that dreaded Covid period. I guess same is true for many others. This must be one positive thing that came from that time.
After we moved to Charlotte area, I baked once or twice and then Anca took it over.m and went down the sourdough route. I was using dry yeast.
