Kim, even flat-ish home-baked bread is ten times better than store-bought, don't you think? Elizabeth , the wine and the trip sound great!

The wine was crafted MUCH better than the bread.... (What wine, you ask? Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St.Jacques 1990 - lucky us!! We would probably never pay that much for a bottle of wine now but we have a few bottles left in our stash from when we were collecting. The taste took us right back to our bicycle trip through Burgundy in 1996. On the day we rode through Gevrey, there was harvest festival going on and we tasted the most wonderful wine - fruit cake and plum on the nose. I was so thrilled to get that similar hint of fruit cake and plums with the 1990!) -Elizabeth I’m happy to report that they were both very good. The wine was crafted MUCH better than the bread….

I think I slash my bread quite deep then I always get your so-so bread result especially whole grain and rye bread. Susan, your breads always look so beautiful. Thanks for the post.

I over-proofed my sourdough loaves last week as well. Today, no problem...even has the perfect crust. Your loaf is gorgeous! It has to be this time of year.

I just overproofed TWO loaves of sourdough the other day as well. The dough was taking much longer to rise than I expected - cooler day - so silly me, I put it in the oven with the light turned on to warm it up a little. And then forgot. Even though it had at least tripled (if not more) I imagined that it would all be all right if I just shaped it. Ha. What were supposed to be boules ended up looking more like ciabatti and are almost flat as pancakes. But I'm very glad to hear that your "so-so" bread tasted great. I'm hoping we have the same experience tonight with the so-so bread I made. But just in case, we're opening a decent bottle of wine to drown our sorrows if it's not so good. -Elizabeth It must be something to do with September!
