Step 2

Now that I've successfully baked bread I need something to spread on a slice. This article from Slate has a comparison about making versus buying pantry staples. Except for crackers I think that make beats buy every time, but then again I bake for pleasure not to save money. I'm going to have to try some of those recipes though.

I am working up a longer post about the bread I made yesterday. I want to document what I did and keep track of the planned accident that was so very tasty. I say planned accident because I used a basic white bread recipe from King Arthur Flour modified by some tips from Alton Brown and accidentally buying the wrong kind of flour. The end result was fantastic though and I'll have to make that bread again.

There is nothing comparable to strawberry freezer jam. Although, in a pinch, orange blossom honey will do. Although you can't make that yourself. Although you might, if you were a bee.
