Moving on...past the "challenge" and back to Bread

I am not going to say I am a quitter I am just going to say I am moving on without further blog challenges.
Blogging challenges are wonderful and a very good thing but if I try to catch up I will not keep up with my recent diversions.

So, I am going to share some of my recent exploits in the world of Bread.
It's not rocket science or nuclear physics or even brain surgery...just bread.

Tell me truly are there many scents out there as comforting as baked bread or the crunch through to the soft center of a loaf of bread?
I would have to say no!

I've been making bread for more than 40 years. You see during a quick trip to Idaho, my great aunt discovered that I had not been taught how to make bread by the ripe old age of 11. I was immediately escorted into her Idaho farm kitchen to start my bread making education. For the rest of that summer it was my job to make the bread each week with under the supervision of my mother for out family of 9.

Ever since then I have loved making breads of all kinds. It's all about fermentation you know; grains, grinds flours. see what they can do when you mix them up with water and yeast. I love to try new recipes, tweek them a bit and make the my own.
