Today was the entry deadline for the Festival of Breads, a national recipe contest sponsored by King Arthur Flour and Kansas Wheat.  I had to develop original yeast bread recipes, which I'd never done before.

I had grand plans to have everything finished and entered last week.  Ahem.  That didn't quite happen.  Let's just say I baked a fair amount of bread today.  I had to do the final testing so I could submit my recipes.


I baked:
  • 6 Whole-Wheat Rolls
  • 1 Whole-Wheat Boule
  • 1 Not-Whole-Wheat Boule
  • 2 Braided Challah Loaves (They're different sizes because one is a stacked three-strand braid, while the other is a six-strand braid.)
  • 1 Miniature Challah Loaf/Roll  (It's so cute, and Chickpea has claimed it as her own.)
The challah tastes pretty good, in my opinion.  It didn't make DangerBear gag, so I'd say it's a winner.  I can't say I expect to be chosen as a finalist, but I did have a lot of fun.  Like my first few batches, when I didn't realize my yeast had expired.  Good times...

Fortunately, bread freezes very well!

    Baking bread is something I tend to put off because it's a bit messy and takes time, but once I get started, I love it. Kneading dough is very relaxing. =)

    Thanks for visiting!
