Does this picture even need describing? Obviously this is a successful baking attempt at white bread. Look at the perfect crust glistening in the 60 watt reveal lightbulb on my microwave. Behold the interior of the loaf - dense, yet fluffy with enough air pockets - but not too many so as to prevent the bread from being the perfect vehicle for butter. This was my Monday afternoon/night activity - 2 loaves of milk bread made by hand. Yes, 6 cups of flour mixed with milk and yeast by hand until the carpal tunnel pains set in. I decided to freeze the more perfectly (is that even possible?) formed loaf so that I can bring it out when next I have company. But, for this loaf, its fate is destined for sopping up the homemade split pea soup I made on Sunday (which I took pictures of but there's no way to take an appetizing photo of puke green food).
