My experiences of making sour dough bread this year reflects my life. At times flat and stodgy, sometimes perky, overall there has been solid progress.
This loaf is the last I shall bake in 2014, it has the best texture so far. I hope that you will join me in raising a slice (toasted if you wish) to the good and bad outcomes of one year and the hope and potential of another.
All the best for 2015,
Robert, Sydney, Australia.

Yum! I love good sourdough! 🙂
It’s a pity you don’t live closer I could bake you a loaf 🙂
Keep at things, Robert. Practice and patience eventual yields! Including one of my favorite breads.

It looks so good 🙂

Lovely! Perseverance, the key to life……..and bread the symbol of life. When they were going to put my mom on a feeding tube, I baked bread and took it to her warm and smelling like life and it got her back to eating again. There’s not much in life that a fresh loaf of bread can’t make better. Happy New Year.
I agree, thank you for your comments Eileen 🙂
Have a Happy New Year – cheers!! 🍸
Happy New Year to you. The bread looks so yummy. 😀

Lovely post! Beautiful bread! I have had a similar time this year with homemade wheat bread. I’ve perfected my English Muffins. I’ll raise one of those (toasted!) as we enter the adventure of 2015, full of hope & potential!
Excellent! 🙂
