Kitchen Notes

This bread is very flexible with the rise time.  We baked a loaf at 6 and 12 hours and both turned out the same. Use any leftover potatoes for this bread. Instead of basil and garlic, experiment with other seasonings. Try adding bacon and cheese, too!

    I am just wondering why you stress baking one loaf at a time? I have a large oven, and large baking sheets. What would happen if i tried to bake both loaves ot once???
