In preparation for the Backyard Barter Fair I baked double my regular quantity of bread:
- 4 1-pound loaves of 50% whole grain rosemary bread
- 2 2-pound loaves of 100% whole grain sourdough
- 4 pounds of 100% rye pumpernickel
I’ve developed a pretty good feel for our wood-fired oven by now. I really like the red-gold color on those rosemary loaves, with just a touch of char on the slashed crust.
