Bean salad with goat cheese and side of bread.

Oops. Sorry. Not for you.

I frequently bake the bread I use because it's so much more affordable and better. Takes three or four passive hours and 10 active minutes. They want $4 to $8 for decent bread I can make for 80¢.

I'm not a corn person either but my wife wanted corn. Goes with the cucumber though.

We ran out. We still have some bread if you want it.

This bread is a crusty bread. If you are looking for a soft sandwich bread that's a whole different recipe. Sometimes I use a standard loaf pan. Sometimes I use a pot. Sometimes I shape and cook on a baking sheet. In all cases I use parchment paper so it doesn't stick.

This is the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day recipe. Make a big batch of dough. Pop it in the fridge for up two weeks and use as much as you need for a given task. The older it gets the better it is for things like pitas and pizza crust instead of loaf bread.
