Simplicity is complicated to achieve sometimes.  In the case of bread, the simpler that it is, the more that subtle variations can throw the results in a wild array of directions.

Having gotten to a good place with the Sourdoughs and the Wholemeal Sandwich Loaves, it felt like it was time to try something a little new. 

This weekend I feel like I nailed it.  I nailed the breads I was after, and I nailed the minimizing of time in the kitchen as to maximize time with family.  I still have some tweaking that could be done in both regards, but this is the first time I feel like I have struck a good balance of the two.

I am beginning to hone in on a few recipes that I want to try and nail down. 

My "simple" weekend was relatively simpler, but far from the simple plan I had vowed to make.  Simplifying is a process, I guess, rather than a cold-turkey like absolute.
