Soft White Sandwich Bread Baked From Home
Soft, creamy to the crumb white sandwich bread baked from home. It doesn't get any better than this! From one of my favorite cookbooks, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, the original recipe is found on page 76 entitled 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread. However, the day I made this loaf, I only had all-purpose flour on hand. I didn't let that stop me from making a batch of dough. My kids... More...

FINALLY! I found a recipe that produces my kind of biscuit, i.e. thick, creamy, moist, can be stuffed with eggs & bacon or left floating on a plate of down home white sauce. I baked up Kelly's Perfect Buttermilk Biscuit recipe over at Sass & Veracity, except I didn't have buttermilk on hand, so I used sour cream. These biscuits came out beautifully and my folks were scrambling for seconds. ... More...

Real quick, I just wanted to share with you a lesson I learned in bread baking. In Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, it consistently instructs us to pour 1 cup of hot water into a hot broiler pan under the pizza stone. This creates steam in the oven and helps the bread to have a crackling crust. Well the other day, I prepped two loaves of Bran Enriched White Bread to take to a dinner party. ... More...

It's always been too scientific for me, too labor intensive for the amount of time I have on hand, too many times that all my hard work resulted in a dense block of undesirable bread only fit for the birds. Well NOT ANYMORE Brothers & Sisters, NOT ANYMORE!!! My dear friend Judy@NoFearEntertaining turned me on to a... More...
