Bread Baking Day - Fruited Sourdough Bread

Remember the sourdough starter that I was working on? Well, the bread above is what I used it for.  I have to admit that it's just okay. I do love that it has fruit in the recipe.

But to be honest, I remembered that I really don't like sourdough bread. I know. So what was all the fuss over the sourdough starter?

Because it's one of those things where I get really excited reading recipes about how sourdough bread is so wonderful. I see all the pretty pictures. All the glamorous people clamoring over the beautiful loaves. Then I want to love sourdough bread. But in reality I don't. This happened to me before. It's a problem.

I just need to get over it. Sourdough is really cool and trendy, but I guess I'm just not that cool or trendy. My sweet tooth persists. Sour does not do it for me when it comes to bread.

Also, ironically, the bread didn't rise like it should have after baking. Although, both rises before seemed to go well.

If it weren't for my planning to participate in the 57th Bread Baking Day, I probably would not be writing this post. But I was, so I am. I don't think the problem was the recipe. Maybe my bread karma was bad the day I baked this. Not sure.

Well, there has been better bread before and there will be better bread again. The timing just didn't work out on this one. The baking continues....
