Rainy Saturday Activity

It was cool and raining this morning. What to do? Make some bread. Next question: What bread to make? I went to my trusty copy of Bernard Clayton Jr.’s New Complete Book of Breads. I found a garlic bread recipe that I’d made years ago. The garlic cloves are peeled, blanched, run through a press, and mixed with butter. The garlic butter mixture is kneaded into the dough. The kitchen was redolent with the aroma of garlic. Let’s just say that Casa Sammamish is safe from vampires for a day or two.
