Considering the snow

Baking bread seemed like a good idea. I had a new recipe, from an expert at work. It looked like the whole wheat bread recipe that mother and Martha used to make, a lot, and perfectly every time.

We made one stop at a grocery store on the way home in the snow and bought King Arthur whole wheat flour. According to my experts, fresh whole wheat flour is a must.

The yeast was active, the dough rose....but what I didn't pay enough attention to was the warning about the moistness of this recipe, about how well GREASED the pan needed to be.

It almost took a chisel to separate it from the pan.

I should have built a snowman, done another load of wash, brushed my teeth. 

Martha, I need your recipe.
