Thanks for your company Owen!

Artist, writer, fellow baker Owen Curtsinger came over to share his tricks and trades. While we were waiting for dough to rise, we sketched in our books and watched a Chris Rock stand-up video. Then came the baking. I put together a molasses bread, put is into a loaf pan and slit the top. When I checked on it a couple minutes after putting it in, well, the top had slid off life a mudslide.

Owen's bread was delicious and beautiful with a light tanginess that made it easy to just break a peace off and pop it into your mouth.
