Victorian Milk Bread

I know that many of you know that my new "thing" since I've been in London is bread making. I will admit that I have had a reasonable amount of success, and, admittedly, a few failures. Fortunately, complete failures rarely occur anymore. Now, it is just a matter of tweaking a recipe, or finding a different one entirely because I don’t like something about it.

I’ve learned so much about bread making and I hope to impart some of that information to you here at some point, but for now I just wanted to share this picture with you. It is a picture of my first attempt at Victorian Milk Bread. It was great tasting bread, although the texture was a little too dense for our taste to use it as an “everyday” bread. That being said, I will probably still make it again at some point.

My real joy, well other than eating my efforts of course, is the picture. I mean, isn’t that the most beautiful loaf of bread you’ve ever seen in your life? (Yeah, yeah, I’m prejudiced to my own work, but who isn’t right?)
