Michael decided that tonight was the night to make a loaf of bread with the duck eggs that we bought from the Ballard Farmer's Market. . . . Unfortunately, bread requires more than eggs and flour. Minutes into Michael's baking adventure, he discovered that we were without milk. The creative fella that he is, he improvised with some dehydrated milk that just happened to be in our pantry. (I have no idea why we have a box of dehydrated milk. Who uses dehydrated milk? Weird.)
Then just after preparing the milk, Michael remembered that we were out of butter. At this point, I would have given up. (Actually, I probably would have given up when I realized we were out of milk.) Michael, however, was not ready to quit. He was sure that spreadable margarine would do the trick. This should make for an interesting loaf of bread! I'll let you know how it turns out. -Trisa
AMAZING Bread- especially with the fresh farm butter we bought at the Everett Market today! Apparently, lots of bread recipes call for evaporated/deydrated milk. I wouldn't have known this because I've never baked a loaf of bread in my life.
