Let Them Bake Bread

Long before the pandemic I began baking bread. I even made my own sourdough starter pre-COVID. But last summer, I stopped baking. I'm not sure why. I was working on some other projects, and I just couldn't settle in the kitchen to bake. But this week I've been thinking about bread again. I've been working to revive my poor, neglected starter (whose name is Augustus Gloop), but today I couldn't take it any longer, so I whipped up a little loaf of this multi-grain artisanal bread. Yes, it's delicious. And I feel a bit more like myself again.
