Made a couple of loaves of egg bread to go with the chicken chili I made for dinner tonight. Our middle daughter will be dining with us after an 8-mile run. The bread smells delicious!
JoeV, who eats all that delicious looking bread that you're making all the time?
Must be very good!!
We have three adult children who live close by, a son-in-law and two grandkids that all love grandpa's bread. Trust me, it doesn't last too long when they show up. When everyone is here on a Sunday, a whole loaf disappears with dinner, and someone always wants to take a few slices home.JoeV, who eats all that delicious looking bread that you're making all the time?

I made 2.5 lbs of dough last night. After the first rise I divided it in 2, placed in 2 zip bags and allowed it to rest over night. Today I took the dough out to warm to room temp then turned it into 4 small loaves of sausage bread.

Thank for the idea Peeps. I guess we are going to settle for Marie Callendars Pot pies for tonight. Busy with my class final today.

Yes they are. I make them with 1-1/2 oz. of dough, which equates to 100 calories based on this recipe.
All baked today and delivered to the Lake County (Ohio) Fair tonight. I must have set the bar last year for breads, because there were more yeast breads entered this year, including some in a couple of my categories. The judging should be interesting, because some of the competition looks pretty good. I made 7-grain honey whole wheat, Polish sourdough rye, French baguettes (Black & white Epi style), Italian free form loaf, Egg bread, and Cuban bread (Pan Cubano). I had some dough left over and made rye sandwich thins, egg sausage rolls and small loaves of rye and 7-grain wheat. I was in the kitchen from 9 till 5 just dealing with bread, doing my best to make sure the appearance was the best I could do. We're going to the fair Tuesday night for the baked goods auction, rain or shine. Wish me luck!
Went to the fair tonight and got the results of the judging...
French baguettes (Epi style) and Polish sourdough rye took First Place.
Egg bread, Italian & Cuban bread took Second Place.
7-Grain honey whole wheat took a Third Place.
Everything got a ribbon, so that's a big plus. Thanks for the encouragement!

He DOES make some truly delicious looking breads and rolls all the time!!
He made a very wise choice by getting his Bosch Stand Mixer!! It will give him years & years of very reliable service!! I envy him, truly I do!! Hah!!
There are lots of tutorials on doing this. Here is one from YouTube. One side note. If you will be adding egg wash and toppings like poppy or sesame seeds or dusting the top of the loaf with flour, put on your toppings FIRST then do your epi cuts. This way each "ear" will have the topping showing, and the center space will be natural.
