Obsession #2: Sourdough

I baked a lot of sourdough bread during a part of my paternity leave (1-2 loafs a day from 30 September to 24 of December) and I can tell you a couple of things:

• baking bread is fun, since you feel like you create something
• the worst part of baking bread is doing the dishes
• you can do sourdough bread in less than 20 mins of work and 3 hours
• sometimes it can be hard to taste the difference between sourdough and regular bread
• the major advantage sourdough has over regular bread is that you feel like a pro

It was fun, and was easy when it was a habit. Family and friends loved fresh, tasty bread every day. Sesame seed, honey and manitoba flour was the best sourdough bread I made. (Lemon was good too, but not as useful.)
