Now That's What Bread Should Be!

I thought I had some really good pictures for you tonight. What I actually have for you is some good evidence that it's difficult (for me at least) to take good pictures with a cell phone camera. Difficult enough that I'm going to go back to borrowing Nancie's mom's camera to take the pictures. But I'll post the pictures because I want to at least show you something. I made the Milk and Water Bread over the weekend. It didn't go exactly as I had planned the recipe; the sponge was considerably wetter, and I let the dough rise for a lot longer (because we got occupied in making the slow cooker ribs). Didn't seem to hurt, though: The bread came out just as tasty.

After all that baking, I could hardly wait to eat!

The next thing, obviously, was to use the bread appropriately, namely, to mop up the barbecue sauce from dinner:

Fortunately, there was plenty of bread for all that sauce.

Again, I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures. But I wanted to share the food with you. It was delicious. Nancie and I both said we'd make these ribs again. (If you're curious, I found the recipe at Casual Concoctions, and I must say that it's just a shame that the blog hasn't been updated in over a year; the owner seems to have some really great ideas about food. This weekend coming up, crescent rolls, I think :-) God speed, and remember: All sorrows are less with bread.
