I posted here asking for advice on baking bulk loaves, and last week I started small with doubling my normal recipe and making four loaves, that I shared with some neighbors. This week, I quadrupled my recipe. I made most into loafs and gave away, and made this one, gorgeous loaf that I kept for myself and my family. It is the most spectacular bread I have made to date. Beautiful, delicious, lovely crumb.
In these really tough, dark times it feels really good to make peoples day a little brighter.
I know it doesn’t keep a whole family fed, I know it’s not much, but we here all know how much some good, home made baked goods are for the soul.
I encourage anyone and everyone to do what you can to give to your community, to your neighbors. Doesn’t have to be bread, find whatever you are able to give and pay it forward. It feels so incredibly good I feel like I am receiving a much bigger gift than I’m giving. I will keep doing this every week as long as I can.
Here’s the recipe I follow! I love this one.

This is amazing and those loaves look delicious!
Great work and a very decent thing to do.
Hats off to you for being so generous! For the past year I’ve also baked at least 2 loaves, one for my family and the other one I gave away to friends and relatives. It took me a while but now everyone I know has tasted my sourdough and can’t stop speaking about how good it was lol. That alone gives me so much joy and satisfaction, you just can’t describe that feeling.
These are ovely looking loaves as well, but they could use a bit more oven spring, maybe shorten fermentation next time?
Happy baking and keep up what you’re doing.
