Good Food, Good Conversation

I've got some bread working.   This one incorporated white and rye flour.   I've created a sour dough starter and am adding six cups flour and letting it sit for a bit while I visit with Ellen.   (Ellen has been kind enough to give me some of her time to explain the in's and out's of working on a computer.) I think making bread is a great teacher.   We are working with just three ingredients.   Water, flour, and salt.   Sometimes we can also use yeast or other additives like milk, additional grain, dried fruit, just use  your imagination. The dough looks and feels great after kneading, but I don't have time to bake it now.   Into the refrigerator so I can bake it later.    The cool temperatures will slow down the rising process and result in a bread with a more interesting and complex flavors http://www.reneesnewkitchen.com .   In the end, more time is good.
