buckwheat bread
As a cook, I find there's little that's more satisfying than holding a loaf of my own bread in my hands. (The one thing that is more satisfying: eating a slice of it with lots of butter.) Goldstein's recipe for buckwheat bread yielded two cute, round loaves like little warm cats. Making them took more time than it did effort; I had to make a sponge of flour, water and yeast the night before, but after that, mixing everything together and kneading it was a simple, pleasant activity on a Saturday morning.
The taste of buckwheat is as distinctive as it is difficult to describe. There's definitely a tangy quality to it, almost like that of a sourdough bread. It makes for great toast, which is how I'll be eating it for the next few days.
