Baking in Germany

It has been a long time since I wrote anything on here, so I thought I could give you a bit of a glimpse into what's happening right now. We are still in Germany. I have been baking a few loaves a week in our home oven for us to eat. But a couple months ago I got invited to use the wood fired oven on the farm where Finely goes to kindergarten. So Tenaya and I have spent a few mornings there now, firing the oven and baking bread for us to eat and some to sell at the farm store. It has been fun! I set up a small baking table in our kitchen and am back to making 12 loaves instead of 120. It reminds me of how I started. The place is beautiful and so peaceful with a creek running by. Tenaya loves to play with a little girl her age that lives on the property and they can roam while I watch the oven. We will be in Bozeman for the summer, but will return to Germany for the school year and I hope to be able to bake on a regular basis starting in the fall. Lots to learn with the wood fired oven, and the different flours and grains and the loaves aren't nearly as pretty as they were back in Bozeman but it is so satisfying to bake again. I sure missed it!
