Wow it looks so good! You sliced the bread really well too.
Yes – well cut. Did you use a guide? Electric knife?
And a note to everyone experiencing this unusual quantity of snow: Get it off of your roofs. Partially wet/melted snow will make an ice dam. Then melted snow behind will dam up and leak through your roof.
Best thing to do is to remove as much snow as possible and if there is a dam, provide a path for melted snow to drain away.
Keep your home smelling more like yeast, less like mold.
Been in NOVA 40 years, learned to read the jet set stream, and the storms along the Texas coast. We get stocket up a week in advanced – FORTUNATELY.
I have bread making on my to do list but have so much else to do – like digging out – that I have not gotten to it.
We have drifts 3 -4 feet deep in the side yard.
Ice sickles 4 – 5 feet long off the side of the house.
Sorry for your predicament.
We’re slammed here in Takoma Park too! My wife, being a rabid baker, found herself in the same quandry and made some Irish Soda Bread. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/irresistable-irish-soda-bread/detail.aspx We didn’t have buttermilk so she used the old trick of whole milk mixed with lemon juice. If you let it sit for about five minutes it works great. It’s a teaspooon of lemon juice per cup of milk. (Vinegar works too, you need the acidity) It tastes even better the next day.
Check out the book “Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day” to learn how to make bread dough in large batches that you keep in the fridge. Want bread? Just grab a handful of dough from the fridge, shape it for a few seconds and then bake it. It is really quite easy!
I am also impressed with your slicing job!
A great time to catch up on your reading:

I hope that helps….
@Nat
Thanks. From you that’s a compliment. I was sort of amazed at how well the bread came out and how good it tastes, given how old and questionable (and bare-bones basic) all of the ingredients were.
@CircuitGizmo
Yes, I have a bread-cutting jig (sort of a hard-plastic miter box for bread). Cuts really consistent, sandwich-width slices. And yes, an electric knife.
Wow Gareth–impressive, indeed! I doubt I could make bread that looks that good with all the amenities and no snow storm. And cinnamon rolls next? Hopping on my snowboard now–be right over!
They’re about to come out of the oven. That smell! Wish you were here, G. Cinnamon roll pig-out, my house. Everybody — come on over!
Second night of bored baking with VERY limited, and old, supplies. But still darn tasty!
