and next month will be our yearly soapmaking day. One day every year for the past 13 years I have been making our soap. It takes one day for me to make 24-30 lbs of soap & that will give us and some gifts to others, enough bath soap for the year.
But back to artisan bread baking… my fave site http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/ love the master recipe which I tweak with more whole wheat. If you haven’t tried this yet (I am sure everyone has heard of it!) I would love to encourage you to try it just once and you will be hooked! It is idiot proof and quick – which are my two requirements LOL!
Next month … soapmaking!
Happy Summer!
