Thanksgiving bread

I made a big loaf of bread for Thanksgiving. It's my typical sourdough loaf: a lean dough with in this case a mix of sifted whole wheat and white flour. This is by far my biggest loaf, at about three pounds of dough. I think it was a bit too big for my banneton (the dough was cresting well above the top of the banneton while proofing).



S. demonstrated that she is in fact white by purchasing some ornamental gourds. We demonstrated we're white by having dinner with a brown girl.

The bread got lots of oohs and ahhs but not much of it got eaten because sooooooomebody made a turkey...
