It Worked!!

I was so happy to see how well this dough rose! I actually was out talking to a neighbor and left it a little long I came back in and was shocked to see how big it got. I tried the whole window pane thing and it kept tearing. One day I will get it.

 Here is the loaf before it rose.

Here is my huge loaf! The other one was about the same size. I raised them in two different rooms to see if it made a difference. It is interesting because we don't have central air so our house says pretty warm. I think my dough raises faster then normal because of this.

Finished loaf! I LOVED the cornmeal dusted on it. I think it gave it an excellent texture. I like the taste best with it lightly toasted with some honey butter on it. I was worried the kids would not eat it because of the molasses flavor but I make them peanut butter and honey with it and they ate if fine. I was happy about that considering it made two loaves.

I think when I was making this loaf I wasn't as careful and got an air bubble in it. I will be more careful in the future.

Over all I am really happy with this loaf and am excited to do next weeks!
Happy Baking!
