The marble effect was achieved by using the danish bread method of wrapping the chocolate sheet...then rolling/folding the dough a few times before plaiting into a loaf. Read about it in my blog posting here.
I had cut the slice lines but then the bread started to explode at the seems and got that giant crack lengthwise.
So like any sane person I kept putting butter into the crack.
i make this a lot... to the point that we rarely buy store-bought, at least lately. difficult to describe how good it is so i won't really try.

small boule, my standard loaf of no-knead bread, poppy seed baguette
When I wake up in the middle of the night on the weekend, I don't ask "Why the hell am I awake at this hour?" I just enjoy it, the world is so quiet then. And it means I can justify a good long nap later that day.
It happens a lot when I have a big event that morning, out of fear of oversleeping. Sometimes it just happens and I read for a couple hours before falling asleep again.
These breads are the fruits of yesterday's 2:30 am awake time. Inspired by E, I checked out Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day and made the basic master dough for the boule and baguette. I already had a batch of NKB dough brewing, so I baked that so we could compare the breads.
Oh yeah, once you get used to working with the wet dough, it really is as easy and less time-intensive as described. There's just a bit of waiting for the dough to rest and bake. If you plan ahead, you can have awesome fresh bread every day.

I baked some homestyle bread last weekend. It turned out pretty okay. I think that I over-kneaded it because it was a bit denser than the Italian-style loaves I like to get at Central Market.

One of my goals for 2021 was something I'd wanted to do all my life: learn how to make sourdough. I did it last January. It took a couple of weeks to grow the starter, of course. Since last February I've been baking most of our bread. Oats and maple syrup usually go into it.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
using this recipe, except this time i used half whole wheat flour, plus a generous sprinkle of hemp seeds, ground flax and chia. i also used coconut oil instead of canola, and almond milk. so yum.
