Homemade bread and jam for breakfast.

This bread is amazing, but takes 18 hours to rise. Then 2 hours to rise, again. Then 45 minutes at 425. Well, needless to say, timing is very important. The goal: my wonderful husband would wake up to home made bread, jam and espresso. And if we stop the story here, and look at the picture little hearts will fly in the air.

The story were not going to talk about: At 2 am, my alarm went off to punch dough and shape it. My alarm accidentally awoke my husband. And the baby. At 4 am I was to put the now (18 hour raised) dough in the oven at 425. ( no problem). In went the dough, and strait back to bed.

4:25 the fire alarm is going off "THERE IS A FIRE.FIRE.FIRE.FIRE" said the women stuck inside my fire alarm. My husband shoots up, ready to grab and go. I calmly state "Don't panic, I'm just cooking." He slams down and starts snoring.

4:30 Bella wakes up crying. Clearly afraid that Armageddon is here, and she is alone during this hard time.

4:45 I make espresso for my husband. And me. 2 for me.

5:00 I apologize to my husband, for all the commotion last night. "Yea, what's going on?"
I explained I was just trying to make him hot bread and espresso. A surprise. He starts laughing and says "Thank you honey."

I will make this bread again! But with much better timing!!! Lol
