We had Salt Rising Bread in the Pacific Northwest in the 60's and 70's offered through Van de Kamp's Bakery. They were small loaves but absolutely delicious. I tried making once with potatoes and gave up after the first try. This time around I am going to try the corn meal and I won't give up until I am successful!!! We all loved the smell of toast and it was particularly good with homemade strawberry jam. After I moved away from home to Colorado, my dad sent me two loaves. When the mailman delivered them, he said the package shook like something was broken and smelled terrible. I was smiling when I took the package from the postman and let him know it was just bread. You can imagine the look on his face but I was in seventh heaven!!! The part that was smashed I simply toasted in the oven. None of it was thrown out!! Looking forward to making this recipe.
