A lavender loaf

Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green
When I am baking, dilly dilly
You will be eating

I baked more bread yesterday. With a mostly full bottle of buttermilk in my refrigerator, I opted for a loaf of buttermilk lavender bread. It turned out well.

I ate a bit simply with butter but think that honey would be very tasty as would making French toast with it. That bread machine cookbook I took out from the library explained the various types of yeast so I went out and bought some of the instant stuff. My hope is that this will help my next loaf of rye to rise correctly.

Addendum: this bread goes very well with tuna salad.
