The Bread Season is Drawing to a Close

Yes, it’s true. In fact, the sad note for the day today is that I am unable to complete the Old Milwaukie Rye Bread that I was going to attempt this afternoon. It’s too hot. I had made the sponge on Monday, planning on making the dough and baking it today, but since Donna and [...]
