Homemade Breads

Here is the artisan bread I baked:






This one I don't do on a regular basis as it's kind of a special bread and requires to remember to start it on time. It takes 16 hours to rise so I have to remember to start it at the end of the afternoon the day before i need it and then it will take an hour to bake. It is a heartier bread with a crunchy crust, with a taste kind of the sourdough as it rise for so long, but not exactly as sourdough breads require a "starter". I'll say it's a "quick" version of the sourdough bread!

Don't be bashful, have yourself a slice!

hard to resist! we usually grab a slice right out the oven and eat it with just butter

  great stuff!

i'm off to eat the whole thing now! 

  not surprised!

The "Galette des rois", it is made out of a "flaky dough" and stuffed with an almond filling

The filling in that looks like tuna-fish out of the can!  laughtotear

warm tuna would be but the filling is delicious also the almond are in powder roasted in butter mix with a cream...

yeah, that's my fav plates! we use them for special days and meals...

Don't know if you went in the What's Up but I have finally posted the pics of the snow we got on the 6th, it's in the Shire but in a new section I called "Hobbiton"

Got to move that galette in a "pastry" thread, just realized I put it with my breads....

delicious looking!! really like the leaf pattern too!

t'was good indeed, i ate too much of it! yep, there were leaves traced, it's tradition!

here's a pic of 2 of the baguettes I made (I always bake 6), did get a little chunk!

The baking time isn't too bad about 20 min. What is longer is the making of the bread.

Delicious much better then sliced bread!!

my opinion also!
