I have the same problem as SavingDiva - it’s pretty bland and I haven’t been able to find spots in the apt with enough heat to let it rise. I’ve tried inside the oven and in my room near the window.

I’ve tried to make bread at home and it’s been horrible!

My bf has a bread maker…but his bread is pretty flavorless…

The book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Zoe Francois and Jeff Hertzberg has some great everyday bread recipes in it. You mix it up and let it rise and depending on the recipe you can store the dough for up to two weeks. I still enjoy making more labor intensive recipes but this book has become my go to solution to weeknight bread.

A couple of years ago I mentioned that my rye bread needed more rye flavor. Johnno sent me a couple of pages on pre-fermenting rye and thanks to him I now make a killer sourdough rye.

Wow, I used the word rye four, er five, times. That about doubles my annual usage rate. Rye, rye, rye, rye…

It sounds like baking bread is so much fun from what you’re saying…

I’m excited about all your bread baking. My typical goal is to bake all of our bread and in the fall and winter I mostly managed that. However, that’s out the window in the summer because it’s too hot to turn on the over in our house. Maybe when I get that summer kitchen built I’ll bake this time of year. Glad you’re enjoying it so much!
