Accidentally overproofed because I got caught up making lasagna, but still turned out really well! Next time, I will axe the seeds on top (makes a mess when slicing and the poppy seeds go everywhere), and put them inside the bread instead. And more poppy seeds, and maybe a handful of oats.

Now I just need to move back out in to the country and get some chickens... Who doesn't love fresh bread and fresh eggs? 🍞 🐔 🥚 Toastie? Bacon and egg sanga? Poached egg over avo toast?

Homemade seeded whole wheat loaf bread. The first slice is on the wood cutting board.

Get some geese to protect your chickens from hawks. They don't cost any extra fees because they can live exclusively off grass (free lawn mowing). In the spring they give you giant eggs to dip your homemade bread in.

    Oh, good call! As long as they don't behave like Canada geese, then I'll be alright. How big are those eggs?! They look massive!!

    About 6 ounces each. Each yolk is 1.5 whole chicken eggs.

    And that's just the yolk!! Do you off hand know the size difference between goose and ostrich egg?

    Goose egg: 6 oz Ostrich egg: 3 pounds

    That's a whole different ballgame. The equivalent of two dozen chicken eggs.

    We should have used ostrich eggs in the cafeteria I worked at. Might have used 8-10 a day making scrambled eggs, rather than 10-15 flats of 48 chicken eggs.
