Food Photography: Rustic Italian Table Bread

In my many hours spent on pinterest lately (nursing+ipad=pinterest addiction), I came across this recipe and thought it was time to try my hand at food photography.  I love my kitchen, it has a ton of glowy natural light and the butcher blocks are so much fun to shoot against.  This is also my first time making bread. I’ve made cinnamon rolls and bread in the bread machine, but not from scratch. This was an easy beginner’s bread recipe and went with the pasta I had planned to make later that evening….Here we go!  I had to start with my ipad and a blank slate…

The cast of characters.

Bread making in action. The finished product. I did really like the end product.  Very tasty, especially dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
