Overnight White Bread


Here are the loaves of bread I made for my family.  I wasn't very sure how this particular loaf would turn out but, it is delicious.  It is chewy and soft like a croissant.  The bread is not really crumbly but still, it toasts beautifully.  These loaves are a little small.  I split one batch for one loaf into two.  I think next time I will make sure to leave it in one pan.

Anyhow, I call this my "Overnight White" bread because it takes all night to proof.  And I swear it takes all my patience to wait until morning to bake it.  But, it was well worth the wait. 

I did of course slather on a nice big spoon of blueberry cherry preserves on a teensy slice.  So. Good.

Open it up to full frame.  See how pretty the bread really is.  Oh! And I just wanted to throw it out there, my house smells wonderful right now. ♥
