it’s bread.   my very first loaf of bread made from scratch.

recipe said 2 tsp of salt.  it’s a tad too salty to my tastebuds.  i don’t have table salt, i baked it with kosher salt, which i thought was what i was supposed to use for baking.  next loaf i’ll try it with 1 tsp.

it’s lovely crispy on the outside.  steam came out when i cut it.  there was a thin line that looked a lil doughy still, but the internal heat made it keep on baking inside.  so fluffy. 

nommnommnomm

sends homemade bread out to the interwebs.  lil plate of olive oil with fresh ground pepper for bread dipping.

some campbel tomato soup later for more delicious bread dipping.

Can you come to my house and make me some homemade bread?

Back to Snow Bikinis

we make homemade bread all the time..

I recommend keeping a note book of the recipies you try and any changes you feel you need to make to them.

I keep a book of all my food recipes but I don’t have any baking ones in there.

Bread is easy, just have to have time for the dough to rise (sometimes twice depending on recipie)

don’t even need a loaf pan, just grease a cookie sheet and mound it up like the sourdough loaves.,

this is a good place to start..

None Complaint: Homemade Bread rocks, if you’ve never done it, DO IT. You will LOVE the out come. Start simple is all I suggest.

I used to like making Bread rolls, all different shaped ones. Sometimes even made animals for the kids.

We have a food processor that can mix the dough in

OK, first official complaint. It is bloody cold and windy today and my house won’t stay warm. It 23F outside with 25mph winds. Our power went out at about 4AM and didn’t come back on till 9am

the day is made for still more baking.    brr/brr out.

what to make next?

coffee crumb cake ... no haz sour cream
blueberry strudel muffins ... no bluberries, strawberries on hand. no muffin pan, but i could make one big muffin cake in a meatloaf pan.  strawberry mega muffin!

I wanna get one of those stones you put homemade pizza on

i was just reading up on the baker’s stones.  it distributes the heat in the oven so’s the dough cooks evenly.

I want some coffee.  My site is acting up and I cannot get a hold of the person helping me with it.
I am having difficulty coughing.

Hot tea sounds great.

it takes practice to make cappuccino froth?

the instructions said the frothing nozzle should be just blow the surface of the milk. i used 2% milk.
it made a latte like foam and it all sank into the espresso, froth is supposed to float mainly on top of the espresso?
at starbucks they spoon the froth from the pitcher, but i didn’t end up with spoonable froth. ??

double shot of espresso, should be able to stay awake for rendering t’nite

Sundays!  or ... sundaes tee hee.  homemade ice cream one day soon.
