I hope everyone had a good day today!
In one of my posts from last week, I mentioned that I baked bread "kind of from scratch". My Mom and I bought this pre-packaged bread mix from our local 99cents store. The flour mixture has already been measured and all ready to go. There is also a packet of yeast included in the box. You just need to add egg, butter, and water.
I call it "kind of from scratch" because even if it came from a box, the method used to make the bread is definitely like making it from scratch. You have to knead the dough (it gets really really sticky). Then you have to cover it with a wet towel and leave it to rise for an hour. After an hour, you have to knead it again and cut the dough into balls. And then, you have to wait for it to rise a bit more before you can actually bake it.
Takes so much work, huh? Yup, that's what I thought. But nevertheless, it was fun. And oh my, did it smell great! Our house smelled like freshly made bread. I loved it!
My Mom said that they came out close to scones. We ate them with butter and strawberry jam. Yum! My brother (a peanut butter lover) ate it with, what else, peanut butter. Haha. :D
The box also has instructions on how to use the flour mixture to make cinnamon rolls. I'm definitely trying that next time. :)
Have you ever tried baking your own bread?
I've never tried baking my own bread, but those sure look good!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE fresh baked bread, but if I made it, I would eat every single piece(and weigh 300lbs!). So, I refrain from making it or going to bakeries. A girl has to fit in her wardrobe!!
ReplyDeletejust found your blog and I love it! I have never tried making my own bread, I am so scared it would come out BADLY!

ReplyDeleteI’m too lazy to make bread, so I have a bread making machine, where you put all the ingredients in it and it will mix it, knead it, and bake it for me.

ReplyDeleteHomemade bread is soooooo good. I don't even care if I'm on a diet. BREAD IS A NECESSITY. Maybe it's just the Italian in me that enjoys carbs so much and refuses to give them up. looks yummy!
