Day 2
Found a place on the upper shelf for the cloche and the proofing basket
Day 3
Thought about when I might actually bake something
Day 4
Listened to the how-to video on no knead bread making
Day 5
Put breadmaking on my list of things to do
Day 6
Looked at my list
Day 7
No memory of this day, baking or otherwise
Day 8
Wondered if and when I’d ever get around to baking something
Day 9
Found the recipe for no-knead breadmaking again and watched BOTH videos (on the same page) and the how-to on using the proofing basket and cut and pasted the text of each into Word docs and blew them up to 18 point type and printed them out so I could have them ready to work from. Went out and bought 5 pounds each of King Arthur white and whole wheat bread flour.

Here’s a great, slight variation on the cranberry-pecan sourdough. I found date pieces in bulk (at various healthy-foods markets) — they’re shaped like short worms & dusted w/ flour so they don’t stick together. I added a scant half-cup without changing anything else in the recipe. WOW!! Really yummy, festive bread, & addictive! It also seems to stay fresh & moist a little longer than my other breads, although if there are people around, this bread disappears faster than any other so far.
