Wood burning brick and clay stove

Making different shapes and sizes of rolls and bread

Mixing the ingredients without a modern mixer

Rolling the dough

Signs leading to Kucwiny community

Well, it's been a while since our last post. But we thought you would want to know that we have both arrived safely back in the US and been reunited. We'll catch you up in another post about our doings since making it back. For now, I thought we should take a few minutes and respond to a question left by AB in the comment box regarding the bread baking process used by the members of the Kucwiny community group.

I am adding pictures of the bread making process, as well as the wood burning clay oven for your review. The bread may look yellow-ish. This is due to the yellow food coloring they add, as that apprently helps with sales. The other main difference is that they would add more sugar than normal. This, too, is to make their product more marketable to the general public who might like their bread a touch sweeter to make it a desert item as well. They bake the bread in a variety of shapes - roles, buns, bread sticks, loavs, etc.
