Thanks! This is high praise coming from 2 great cooks/bakers!
And Elissa- I can’t believe you’re afraid to make bread after the crazy 4th of July cake you just posted! Now THAT is intimidating! What’s the worst that can happen? You waste $2 worth of ingredients? That’s the beauty of bread, its flour, water, salt and yeast. And honestly, it doesn’t have to be PERFECT. The second time I made this recipe the loaves were a bit paler and less dense, but in their own way, still very delicious. Just jump in and try a simple bread recipe. I’d bet it turns out beautifully and you’ll get addicted to that smell of fresh bread in your house!

Those are really beautiful looking loaves. Bread, especially French bread, is one of those things I’ve been too scared to attempt but these are lovely.

Wow. I looked at all those photos will the respect of something who has kneaded and played with yeasty dough – it is quite the experience the first couple times! Love how beautiful your loaves turned out. Nice work!
