Friday Fresh Bread!

Today I baked up another loaf of no-knead bread: multigrain whole wheat. Best one yet. This is very similar to the one I made last time, except that this one has no rye flour, no seedy topping, and I dissolved a drizzle of honey in with the water before mixing. The yeast seemed to appreciate the extra sugar to chew on. And I appreciate not having every horizontal surface in the kitchen covered in flax seeds after slicing. There are plenty of flax seeds and millet on the inside though.

I used the bread as a utensil for this divine coconut red lentil soup. So easy, so cheap, so comforting, and the color of a sunset! Perfect for a snowy weekend, perhaps winter's last hurrah, and one of my few remaining opportunities to fully savor a soup before I have to remember my favorite salads.
