Donn, a colleague from work, gave me an incredible bunch of fresh asparagus. I oven-roasted it for the first meal, and then I made a pizza with the rest of it–added in some grilled chicken and Fontina and white cheddar cheese. Oh, I also simmered some tomato sauce on the stove for four hours. Plus, I used some of my Tartine Country White bread dough from the freezer. It was a wee bit too crusty for this particular app! Another memorable Sunday supper. (It was difficult to eat! Plus, we had to call up Dwight’s excavating skills in order to extricate the pizza from the pan!!!!)
another round of bread making
Today I mixed up eight loaves of the multi-grain and then did two more loaves of my country white. This time the country white bulk fermented for four hours, rest for 40 minutes and then was shaped and in the oven in three hours. I had trouble with my razor blade when slashing–I think it is just too dull. But, the resulting crumb was much more desirable. No more spelunkin’! And check out those ears!!!!!
