German Farmer's Bread

[gwschenk]

From Hamelman's Bread. Mixing it by hand was interesting, but worked really well. The whole rye flour came from Grist and Toll in Pasadena. First time using bannetons. next step is finding time to get a starter going. It's delicious.

Looks great! I'll bet it would make a clown sing.

Well, I'm a clown and it had me singing!

I gained 2 lbs just by looking at it.

Thanks for the kind comments. It went great with the chicken we smoked last night. We have a bunch of citrus this year and so I made a orange-lemon marinade. Never done that before and the chicken came out great. Combined with the bread and the wife's lemon meringue pie I DID gain two pounds.
