One batch--3 medium boules--lasted me a week, and that includes giving one boule away to a neighbor. I could easily have eaten that one, though.
Thanks! I'll do some searching and hopefully be able to start that batch while I order the book online and wait. Mmmmmm..........bread

On a slightly related topic, what do you ladies like to put on all these breads you're making? What's your favorite? Mine changes based on the day, type of bread, what it's being eaten with, lunar cycle, etc. Sometimes I just want a good old warm, buttery piece of bread. Other times I'll choose honey, homemade jams, or olive oil. But my new favorite is Peanut Butter & Co's Dark Chocolate Dreams. Natural peanut butter and dark chocolate mixed together into every hormonal woman's dream. I find things just to dip in there. Sometimes I just take a spoon and eat from the jar. Don't judge me.
