Breakfast and Polar Bread

Allergy season is with us yet again...stopped up, itchy eyes, sore throat, anon...

Dinner was a simple affair - scrambled eggs with cheese and turkey sausage.

Got a wild hair up and decided to try a recipe I found for Polar Bread - again with the Swedish stuff, I know, but it's bread too...been having some successes there and loving it. 

I followed this formula and as of the writing the rounds are in the final proof before being baked off in a pan on the stove top.  Apart from the refrigerator bulk ferment step I followed things exactly as written.  Seems to work very well (and I even had the heavy cream as a left over from the other night).  The dough is soft yet not terribly sticky.  I used medium rye and unbleached bread flours from King Arthur Flour.
