I declared a baking day for myself and then got a little carried away. Instead of making two batches as I planned, I made three. Instead of two braided loaves, which I’ve practiced, I made a loaf and two batches of rolls. It isn’t often that I bake for many people, and I was just so excited. Then it came to how to transport the bread. Hm. I read that cloth lets too much water out and the bread gets dry. Plastic and foil keeps the moisture in, but the crust goes soft. I also didn’t want the bread to get squashed in transport. So I made some boxes out of poster board. I made measurements and drew lines in pencil, cut flaps, and glued the corners with hot glue (which helps structurally as well).


The boxes worked well, and the white bread was quite good, even the second day. The whole wheat rolls were more dense and tough. (Good thing they were the extra batch!)
