yeast

after a few moments of nursing and cleaning up after lunch i discovered this beautiful little "mess" on the kitchen counter. the yeast mixed with some lukewarm water and molasses was outgrowing the cup and i just had to take a photo. every time i'm mixing and kneading bread dough i'm in awe of those little living creatures called yeast...
the bread turned out great, chicken dinner, celery salad, and a fresh loaf of artisan bread. i discovered a new kind of nice and crusty bread in these book and love it. it's not really quicker as my old way of providing bread for the breakfast and dinner table but it's nice for a change to eat almost warm and crusty bread. it takes me more baking time as the "old" regular way of baking 5 loafs at a time.
