Bread Day Again

We were down to our last baguette...time to bake! I picked up some Bob's Red Mill Dark Rye flour this time to supplement our Wheat Montana flour.  Most grocery stores carry a selection of the Bob's Red Mill products.
The lovely thing about bread baking is that, while the entire process can take a whole afternoon, the actual time spent laboring is not that extensive, so there is plenty of time while things rise and bake to do things like laundry, cleaning, painting, book editing, letter writing, or yes, blogging!

I also picked up a couple of new bread pans, cheapies, but they'll do -- not the ones I wanted, but I have to go someplace with actual shopping to find those (NorPro 12" steel pans).

                                                  The lovely dough -- ready for its first rise.

                               All tucked in -- I keep a tea kettle simmering on low for warmth and humidity.
                                               Also handy for a cup o' tea to enjoy while the bread rises.

                                                        Ready to punch down and shape.

                                                          Nestled all snug in their beds....
