I forgot that I could post photos right here on this site!  This is my aromatic rosemary olive oil bread.  I think I overbaked it, considering the dark coloring even in the scoring.  I think it's beautiful, but did I bake it for too long? It registered 205F when I took an internal temperature after baking.

 

I can't remember how I got into baking bread, but when I decided I wanted to do it, I knew I didn't want to use a machine- no machines at all, other than the oven. My hands would do all the dirty work.

The first thing I did was search the internet for breadbaking information (ok, so I did use a computer). There I learned about "real" breadbaking- the kind requiring a starter rather than yeast. A challenge! I was totally into that.
