Study-bread

Saturday night plans: ride bike trainer, study, loner it up.
So I rode my trainer pretty hard and then needed to eat food after. I decided I really wanted a sammich but was dismayed to realize it was after 9 (all the good bakeries are closed) and I was breadless. I was not to be deterred from my sammich dreams. I decided to bake some focaccia bread from the Vegan with a Vengance cookbook. Step 1: go on yeast finding adventure. Then:
knead!












Rise!
Shape!











Rise!
Bake!
Done!














Overall it turned out pretty well, but for future focaccia bread making experiments I will remember to use more olive oil to brush the top so that the salt, herbs and seeds stick a little better.
I cut myself a good triangle, sliced it in half and made this sammich which was everything I had dreamed and more.
Sauteed peppers and onions, breaded marinated tofu, avocado, mixed greens and home-made pickle condimented with dijon mustard and vegan cream cheese (destined for tomorrow's cake... to be blogged later).
