A major part of eating more sustainably is making things that you would normally buy from the store which are wrapped in plastic and shipped across the country. The food miles that these items have associated with them are not only from shipment. Each ingredient has it's own food miles, and these can add up quickly in the finished product. I thought if I could find an easy bread recipe, and find local ingredients to use, I will be one step closer to my gastronomical sustainability.
The bread I made today was, from an experimental perspective, somewhat of a failure. The recipe claimed to make two loaves of bread. I ended up getting one Muggsy Bogues-esque loaf. The dough did not rise nearly as much as it should. Fortunately, the bread tasted fantastic! This recipe, with some modifications coming soon, will likely be used at least once a week in our household in the weeks, months, and years to come.
