FINALLY!!!




Sam and I were able to make perfect bread at 7000 feet!! Usually it collapses in the middle, but not this time! It turned out just like the recipe. And the wonderful part is that the recipe is for ongoing loaves that take only 5 minutes a day of your time. You just keep scraping down the dough from the sides of the bowl, which you keep in the fridge and you get your own starter f0r sourdough. You can have fresh bread every day for about $.50 per loaf and save lots of money every year. Now really, what could be better than eating hot, fresh, french bread, with very little effort AND saving money!! Life is good.
If you want the recipe let me know and I will post it for you. But if you know me very well, you will think the recipe's source is hilarious! It is true...I now read and love Mother Earth News.
Our next project...chickens!! Stay tuned...

Please post! I cannot believe how expensive bread is and we go through it so fast.

What a beautiful loaf of bread! I don't seem to have any real baking issues at 5280 feet but when I lived in Santa Fe 7000ish~nightmare! I just didn't bake~so way to go!

As for Mother Earth News...pat on the back :) Living simply is a wonderful thing, something I've valued for many years now and especially since having Theo. You should check out the River Cottage cookbooks. They're my current favorite and the RC Family cookbook is a true delight.
