I had the day off on Friday and felt like baking something so I tried baking this lemon loaf. Actually I baked two. The first one was a complete flop. Arggh! This annoyed me but I didn't give up. I hauled every baking ingredient back out that I had just put away and every dish and utensil that I had just finished washing and put away. I was determined to get it right, and this time to NOT forget to add the baking powder - lol - at least that is what I am guessing that happened as the first loaf didn't rise in the middle. Oops! So this was my second attempt and I must say it tasted pretty good as I am not an overly lemony-lover of desserts as I find them too tart but it was the sweet glaze that did it for me and made it soooo much better than I had expected.

Attached to the side of the barn is our loafing barn. When the farm was a running dairy farm, the cows would all line up single file and head to the loafing barn for the night.

My husband found it in Lauderdale, Mississippi! It looks like it used to be "Regal" Beer, if you enlarge and read the Coca-Cola sign, that is.

Well, not cheesy enough really. It looks beautiful, is nice and soft if you can believe it ... and of course the jalapeños in there pack a punch. But, still not enough cheesiness for me....
It's a one day sourdough loaf. I think maybe why it is soft..plus..it really pouffed up .. but, It took alllllll day....
and, a fair bit of babysitting. Plus I made my life harder by mixing up a big enough batch of dough for two loaves ... and, I didn't want two plain ones... which meant grating cheese and chopping jalapeños... my hands were on fire.Yes, I know I could wear gloves if I had a pair around that were thin enough so that I could actually feel what I was doing...but, no... had to soldier on without. Then, of course I had to have it in two separate bowls...mix it differently, etc... I put the inclusions in after the second round of stretch and folds.... that was a ... hm...mmm ...let me think what it was. It was hard work dammit !! Just try including stuff in an already resistant dough.... there was a lot of trial and error and folding and squeezing and ..well, a lot of swearing too... but, I got it.
By the time it had risen it was way ahead of the plain guy....due to the 'vigour' with which I had to 'include' stuff I'm sure, as well as a bit of extra moisture from the jalapeños even though they were well drained and patted dry...
All told, I'm ecstatic with the loaf.... with the exception of it not tasting quite cheesy enough for me. I bet I could have sprinkled some grated cheese on top for the last few minutes of browning with the lid off the pot.
I purposely scored only deep enough to expose a nice belly ..no ear required for me. I prefer an earless loaf.
Oh, and.... the pot!! I do not own an oval Dutch Oven... and, decided batards are a better shape for slicing and using so had to get inventive. I was going to use a large casserole but, instead decided to try my turkey roasting pan.
It was perfect!!
Two layers of parchment ... middle shelf.....thin as the pan is compared to a Dutch Oven .... it turned out beautifully....
