I’ve been trying the bread baking thing since about September, when I started trying to make baguettes. Part of what was nice about it was I was in the house with my dog where I could spend time with him. My first attempt was actually the weekend before he was gone. So now I have this tie in my memory between my dog and bread, so it will likely be something I do for quite a while to come.
Over the next few months, I’m going to be trying some new breads and trying to make healthy stuff that I also like to eat. Coincidentally, Dave at the Fumbling Foodie and Adam at Men In Aprons both have gotten the bread bug, so we’re going to all be posting periodically on breads we’re doing. Dave tried the recipe my mom gave me for my grandma’s bread, and met with success.
So here is my version of my grandma’s bread. It’s good enough that my
wife asks me to bake some so we have bread every week. My mom even
said it turned out good, and she’d be the first to tell me if it wasn’t
right (that’s a good thing).
It goes great with my wife’s apple butter (her secret is that she
smooths it with an immersion blender when it’s about done). It’s dense
enough for sandwiches, and makes great toast! Yeah, toast!
Be sure to check back now and then for more bread baking!
Mmmmmm…I really need to get back to my breadbaking! Site is looking great by the way!
Thanks, Nicole… I’m going to be tweaking it a bit, but I wanted something a bit different. My old posts may look a bit odd, but the ones from here out will look ok, I hope. I’ll play with it a bit and see what I end up with.
I still need a new camera… I looked at a D80… I need to make some extra cash and get one!
Well it really does look great so far! As far as camera’s go, I’m a Canon girl all the way
At least check out the EOS 30D before you make the purchase!!
I think I need to play with a basic template for photos, so all posts are more similarities. I’ll work it out, though, and appreciate any feedback.
The Canon looks nice, too, but that D80 is really nice for the money!
