"They're singing!" she cried. Well, I'd only experienced that singing once myself, when I'd baked outdoors in February in my clay oven, but for some reason yesterday I pulled a loaf out of my kitchen oven and it started singing. Perhaps not coincidentally, the loaf was graced with one of the most attractive crusts I'd ever made, with fissures and exposed crumb making (oxymoron alert!) random patterns across the top.
Why did this particular loaf sing when hundreds before did not? Who knows? Was the bread (or the crust) any better? It was was a gift. I'll probably never know...
Fantastic. I had this experience just last week, pulling a loaf from the oven and hearing it crackle throughout the room. I was so excited I made my wife listen.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
I got my first singing bread two weeks ago. I was so excited I called my sister and made her listen to it over the phone. She was jealous.
