My new favorite Sunday activity - making homemade bread! Robert made Green Chili Stew yesterday because it was raining and we were talking about this bread that we had bought once that was a perfect match for Green Chili Stew. It was like a regular French bread but had grainy bits of cornmeal in it. We haven’t been able to find it since so I decided to try making it myself. My bread turned out delicious - warm, moist, and crunchy. I used cornmeal and some coarse polenta for more crunch. I made sure to not put in too much flour while I was kneading because that can make it really dense. It’s hard to do because the dough becomes really sticky but it is important. I sprayed the oven walls with water because that is supposed to make the crust crisper but I’m not sure if it really did anything. I think I’m going to start making bread regularly on Sundays and freezing half of the dough for later in the week. That way, I can make smaller loaves for the two of us and avoid spending $3 to $4 on bread that we can only eat half of. In other news, I used my new salad spinner for the first time lat night. It really works! My lettuce was nice and dry. Also, Robert’s Green Chili stew turned out fantastic so it was a great Sunday dinner all around.
