bread days 7 and 8

I'm back! And bread's back too.

Bread day 7 was hot! The fig rosemary bread was tops, with rosemary
from Shelley of Brentwood, and home-dried figs from this summer's
farmers market. I ate half a loaf in one go. It was well worth the stomach
ache.


And the sourdoughs keep getting taller!


But not as tall as the pile-o-loaves from pre-vacation bread day.


Bread day 8 was easy! It was so nice to be back in my kitchen with all of my
favorite ingredients. I finally got to use my home-dried heirloom tomatoes
from Serendipity and Happy Boy Farms. Check out that air bubble! It's my
biggest yet!


The sourdough was quite eager to rise, and a few of the loaves grew tumors!


There was a small yet mighty pile for the day. The Halloween pumpkin
bread ruled.


Happy Halloween!
