Sourdough
Today I started baking bread again. I wanted to attempt using the KitchenAide mixer and to get back into bread making. I made two basic white sandwich loaves. The KitchenAide, first of all, was amazing. (I do not own it, it belongs to Sarah's mom) I always found the initial mixing of the dough to be the most tedious part of baking bread and this thing takes care of it in no time and mixed up a great batter. The bread turned out nicely, although I think the recipe was a little bland. For my next project I am going to make sourdough. Sarah's mom and I started our starter today and are going to get some yeast growing and see what we can do. I have always wanted to make sourdough, so here goes nothing.

Did you know that San Francisco is famous for sourdough? Something about the sailors and not needing as much rising time or something- I am not sure. I am not much of a bread baker, though I love freshly baked bread. Who doesn't? When you register for your KitchenAid, think carefully about the color- everything else will have to match. Which is why every other appliance in our kitchen is light blue
