Hokkaido Milk Bread

Toast

Made this for the first time having read txfarmer's extensive post on this bread. It certainly does live up to its reputation of being the softest sandwich loaf ever. The extensive dough kneading required produced a dough so silky smooth that I couldn't help myself but to have a taste of the raw dough. And disturbingly I wanted more of it. Hmm..

Good enough to be eaten as a snack.

Rye sourdough

Toast

Just baked my second loaf of sourdough bread yesterday. Turned out better than my first. The recipe was taken from the Weekend Bakery. I love the fact that they use a rye sourdough and some whole wheat flour to bump up the flavour. I must say I find bread baking extremely therapeutic (just as I do with baking pâtisseries, cakes etc) but despite being a newcomer to the world of bread baking I am finding myself enjoying the process more by the week. The smell of nicely fermented dough is so invigorating.
