Schnuck's brand challah bread

Much easier than usual this week: go to the closest supermarket, peruse the shelves for a little bit, but a loaf of bread. Take it home, set it on the counter, and prepare for

The unwrapping (5 seconds)

Sorry about the lack of posts lately...but, you know, end of the semester, finals to stress about, all of that good stuff.

So, anyway, I don't really expect to make any more bread until at least, say, the 21st. Wish me luck with all the work!

Tasting verdict: Well, it's somewhat gratifying to now be surer of the fact that the bread I make is usually better than supermarket bread (although I've still got a ways to go before I can match real bakery bread, I'm sure). The taste and texture of this bread are both fine, if a bit hollow, but there's just something really weird and slightly unpleasant about the crust. All in all, not an incentive to go back to store bought bread.
