mmm...Homemade Bread

I don't know how many of you bake your own bread but it is a staple in this household.  My husband makes different kinds and shapes just about every month or so and then we store them in the freezer. We usually slice them and put them in freezer bags that way they are ready to go when we need them.  He also likes to give loaves away... and boy does it make people smile.  I thought I would share a few loaves he made today.

This was the first to come out of the oven so as you can see it has been sliced and partially consumed!!! What is better than fresh, HOT, homemade bread straight from the oven. We pulled out the Fontinella cheese and some homemade Dilly beans and had a nice Rye bread snack.

While I was having my snack I took a peek under a dish towel to reveal these nice whole wheat loaves starting to rise.  This is a design I have not seen my husband do before but I am super excited for this one to come out of the oven. 

This is also the first time I have seen him do this as well. For his birthday he received a round Brotform and a bread lame (lahm). It is a special blade used to make cuts in bread. I have no doubt the more he uses the lame the more creative he will be. I am also excited to see how this loaf comes out once it is baked. Maybe I will edit this post once they are out of the oven...that is if there is any left by the time I get my camera ready!!!!
