Now that I know Rose reads the Bread Bakers Digest, I must tell y'all this
story.
Rose's Jewish Rye Bread was the first bread I baked from Daniel Leader's
book "Bread Alone." I made two boules.
Some Jewish friends of ours invited my wife and I one evening for dessert,
coffee, and a game so I brought one of the rye boules along.
It had only been out of the oven for a couple of hours and the aroma was
quite tantalizing. Our friends served a very nice coffee cake, but my
friend Ben wanted to "just sample" the rye bread. His wife cut a piece for
him and then had one for herself.
They ate the whole loaf that evening and dubbed it "Bob's
Not-Bad-For-A-Gentile Jewish Rye Bread."
Thanks, Rose. I look forward to your new book.
