Slightly Modified Recipe

This loaf is 50/50 unbleached white bread flour and whole wheat. Recipe calls for honey and last time I used brown sugar...this time molasses. This loaf definitely has more color maybe due more to the molasses than the additional whole wheat.

Today's Loaf:

And the previous loaf which is definitely a different color. maybe I'll try honey next time and maybe a bit more whole wheat with 2 cups WW and 1 of bread flour.

Interior Progress

Been in the house a bit over a year and have probably rearranged the interior 2-3 times and hopefully I have finally gotten it right. The den is now a set up as an office and an area for electronics & programming and hopefully I am ready to start working on projects that I have carried around for decades. Using two 6 foot tables for flat space.

Test equipment out of boxes and it actually turns on after 2 decades of moves and storage!

1.5 pound Whole Wheat + Caraway Seeds

A fresh 1.5 pound loaf of whole wheat with caraway seeds. First time with this recipe which used 1 cup whole wheat and 2 cups unbleached white bread flour. Next time I think I'd do 50-50 WW/UWBF but I have no complaints. Recipe called for fennel seeds but since I did not have any I used what I had which was caraway seeds. I could have used sesame seeds but they are raw and would have required a quick roasting which would have required more effort than I was willing to put into this. Bread Machines are definitely for the lazy!

My First Walking Path

The apartment was northeast of here just into the hills and there were some really nice ropads to walk. Now I am south and in the flats and it's not near as interesting.
