You know your a bread baker when...
I made a loaf of bread and replaced 20% of the flour with barley that I ground in my spice (a.k.a. coffee) grinder and sifted it. The loaf came out nice and had a nutty smell and flavor to it. Now you know your a bread baker when... I had some left over barley and used it to feed my levain. After leaving it for two days I took it out and gave it a sniff. It had a nice fermented fruity smell. Awesome I thought. Wife was there so I said "smell this, its got a nice fruity smell to it now". So she did and promptly barfed there in the kitchen saying "dear god thats horrible!". I didnt think so, but she loved the bread it made. And I didnt think it smelled bad. I wonder how well my deodorant is really working?
