I’m trying out a new project – baking my own bread for my lunch sandwiches. I made a loaf over the long weekend, which was good. Today I made two loaves – one white, for me, and one wheat, for Qais. Sadly, we only had one bread loaf pan. So, Qais’s were baked in a muffin tin.

It’s dead simple. 12 oz of hot water, 20 oz of flour, 2 teaspoons of salt and a package of active yeast. Mix everything till it’s smooth and elastic, let it rise till it doubles, and then punch down and put into pans. Let it rise again for an hour, and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. That’s it. 4 ingredients, 3 or 4 hours – mostly of waiting. And it’s really, really good bread.
