BBA Challange #1- Anadama Bread

--This is a bread my Uncle David likes to make with his Bread maker. I don't know what recipe he

uses.

-- So here are the stages of my Anadama bread. Starting with the soaker on day 1.

On day 2 I mixed the pre-ferment and let it ferment in the mixer bowl covered with a cloth.

. Then with the dough hook I added the remaining ingredients.

In this stoneware bowl my Mother-in-Law gave me I let the dough double in size.

After shaping the two loaves I let them proof till again they have doubled in size. I sprinkled cornmeal on top and put them in the oven. I placed a dish of water on the bottom rack for part of the baking time to help make a good crust.

The loaves cracked on the sides a little, I'm not sure why that happens, yet but I will find out.

I was happy with my Anadama Bread, it looked yummy to me.

Blake liked it too!!

For my first BBA Challenge I think things went well. Anadama bread has a fun texture as it is soft but also has a little crunch from the corn meal.

-- The next week I made the Greek Celebration Bread or Artos, just before my trip to Greece.
