Your bread looks great and I LOVE the shower cap idea for the bread. Another reason for me to collect them from the hotels.

I have to tell a secret...but I am glad you said it first, I too use shower caps to cover my bread! It is a long story to be told over a cup of coffee but I have a big box of them. However, your breads turned out beautiful and the rolls are just gorgeous!

That is SUCH a good tip about the showercap. I'm so gonna start collecting those! I love how those rolls turned out! Excellent job!

Terrific! I love that you have a board made by your grandfather for your grandmother. From the glimpses of it in the photo, it looks well-used and well-loved.

Beautiful bread Robyn. I LOVE the shower cap tip. I'm actually hotelling it this week -- out of town in training -- I just went and tossed the shower cap in my suitcase! When I get home I can bake 6 loaves of bread!
Dolores | Homepage | 11.26.07 - 12:07 pm | #

Your bread looks beautiful! My mom used to use the shower cap method too, although I think she had special made-for-kitchen-use shower caps. They look so funny on the bowls!
