"Tuesday's with Dorie" - Country Bread


The challenge for today was to make Country Bread and when I think of country bread I think of good old fashioned white bread. In doing some research of Colonial Days, trying to see if we can tie today's recipe in with our theme, we discovered that white bread was not really the bread of that era. And after making the recipe the goes with our challenge from Dori, it too is not white bread. And we discovered that the recipes are very simlar. This is a really good recipe, but we felt like this recipe needed a bit more salt and flavor.

  2. Love the look of your loaves. I liked this recipe a lot. The crust was so nice and thick and chewy. Very different from any bread I've made before.

  3. Your bread looks wonderful. I am new to this ...first time baking a country loaf, so really can't comment on the flavor. To my untutored tongue, it seemed fine.

  4. Your loaves are so cute! I made one huge, but the next time I'll surely split up the dough and make 2 or 3 loaves instead.
    Loved it!
