Comments on: The Best Sandwich Bread Recipe Ever (and a little baking story) http://thetanglednest.com/2009/04/the-best-sandwich-bread-recipe-ever-and-a-little-baking-story/ Cultivating an Urban-Earthen Household Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:21:01 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dana http://thetanglednest.com/2009/04/the-best-sandwich-bread-recipe-ever-and-a-little-baking-story/comment-page-1/#comment-1322 Dana Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:53:41 +0000 http://thetanglednest.com/?p=321#comment-1322 Oh, I laugh out loud at your written words about Laurel that I felt but never uttered. I also got the book in college while feeling "nesty" and hippy-dippy with my boyfriend, but only produced brick after brick from those recipes. My breadmaker has become a close friend and I haven't attempted anything sprouted in a long time. I DID check out the Macrina book from the library, though, last summer, and made a beautiful lemony pull apart loaf that made me think I could take this show on the road! So there, Laurel.

I swear by Laurel's good soup recipes and make and freeze them often, but it is the sandwich bread recipes you shared that are the ones I will be trying out in cooler Fall weather. :) They sound so delicious and nourishing. As for crows - I read and loved "Crow Planet" for its thoughtfulness and poetic beauty. Congratulations on a very fine and special book. I am recommending it to everyone I know. Of course as soon as I finished the book, crows did start showing up, both in reality, and as parts of poems or books or articles that I have been reading! I don't think that would have happened had I not read your book. :) Hi,

I have had to add more flour to this recipe sometimes as well--but not always. Bread is so funny, and so alive. They say to give a bread recipe three tries before you abandon it, because the process can vary so much with weather, mood, who knows what all. Thanks for sharing your experience!

However, mine did not seem to rise as much as yours. Not sure why... I used yeast from a packet and made sure it wasn't expired. I did knead by hand and had to add about 1/4 cup extra flour because it was very sticky to my hands and the kneading surface. It is cooling now and I cannot wait to 'unmold' it!! Hi,

Then I realized only another Whittie would think of baking bread as giving birth and a kitchen being the culmination of bringing together all mother earth has to offer. So thanks for the recipe- I can't wait to try it out!
