Affection for Sourdough

A while back we ordered the 5-pack of sourdough loaves from Bountiful Baskets.  They cost $10 for 5 loaves, which around here is a steal for bread.  I know I can make bread for much, much cheaper, but frankly my schedule has been so hectic that I just haven't had time to even think about it. The family still needs bread, however, so we wanted to give it a try.  

I was so very pleased with this yummy bread that I plan to order it again and again whenever it is offered as an add-on. It comes as a loaf, unsliced, which is in many ways really nice.  I love slicing home-made bread, and find that the store-bought bread is often sliced way too thin for my liking.  We like to serve bread with dinner sometimes too, and a thicker slice with a little butter and garlic on it is just the ticket.  

We made it through all 5 loaves in one week, which completely surprised me.  Even though we had a little bit of sliced store-bought bread on hand, we barely used any of that.  Everyone wanted the sourdough.  I think we've definitely found a new family staple.  In fact I've ordered another 5 pack to pick up this weekend.
