After the past couple months of baking furiously, I can feel my interest waning, since I basically did what I set out to do.

Problem is, I was just given 50lbs of flour that I had previously asked for, so i gotta buckle down and keep at it. Oh, my partner has also been spreading the love around, and while people don't EXPECT bread, they do very eagerly anticipate it.

As usual, recipe is the tartine country loaf, this was part of a 2× batch. Instead of 200g whole wheat I did 100g whole wheat and 100g wheat germ. Tastes quite mild, overall a good batch

Do you eat it? Bread can become a whole weird hobby like coffee where you do all kinds of extra bullshit as part of the ritual because you're chasing some kind of nebulous minor gains in taste or something.

Our bread recipes have become simplified over time to be useful in a busy home for making daily or every few days bread. We go through phases where we will make 2 loaves and it'll all be gone in 2 days, and other times where we make a loaf that lasts a week.

But inevitably we eventually want bread again.
