what we do while bread rises...

my maritime brown bread (for my fabulous maritimer), to go with the leftover baked beans i made yesterday, which will undoubtedly be better today!



...and my little helper :)
ready to do their thing, while we gear up to go outside!

 bird tracks near now frozen overflow...

...yesterdays goofyness!

shaped loaf ready for rising!  

woodstove, hot and ready
slashed and ready for the oven...
...and into the oven we go! 
loaf #2, getting degassed




all done! 6 loaves!  4 for the freezer, 1 for the next couple days and one sliced hot with butter for now :) 
and now the sun sets... 
who knew bread baking could be so much fun! :)
