When life hands you a huge loaf of bread...

Last week I went to the farmer's market and saw an incredibly crusty loaf of bread. Yes, it did look a little big, but little did I realize just how huge the thing was until the bread man packaged up my loaf in a shopping bag. Needless to say, I had to stretch the creativity a bit beyond your typical bread and cheese snacks to use up the bread before it went bad. Below is a pictorial adventure of me and the huge loaf of bread.

Of course, to start things off, I sliced into this thing and topped it with Cowgirl Creamery's St. Pat, an Echo Mountain blue, and tomme de Bordeaux.



For breakfast, I made an egg strata. Recipe coming later...


For lunch we topped thick slices with a Nicoise-style tuna salad.



Our final meal with this loaf was a very large panzanella, which we will probably be eating for the rest of the week.



Overall, it was a fun experience, and believe it or not, the bread was still pretty good by day 4.
