Making your own bread from scratch...

[joyroos18]

i use to have a bread maker, it was great, made the house smell sooooooo good. would love to have another someday, you should try using a loaf taking the insides out and using it for a soup bowl

Darn it. All of you are making me ashamed of myself, so guess i had better get busy and make some more bread. It is so much better then store bought. I don't eat much of it but Hubby makes up for it and he doesn't really need it either. So think will make some while he is at work and surprise him.

bread makers are amazing, I haven't used mine in along time.  I seem to think I don't have the time...??  I think I will get  it out tomorrow.  Another great item to have is a pressure cooker.  I can cook a whole froze chicken in 30 minutes.  Combine these to items and imaginge the awesome reslults.

Sometimes I forget I can use the pressure cooker, used to us a lot in the past. Should have purchased a food processor as well.

wow! i'm glad so many of you have had the pleasure
of making/eating homemade bread.

now i'm thinking of making up a bunch of loaves for
christmas gifts for co-workers and extended family!
what kind of bread would you like to receive?
something plain, like white or wheat, or something more
of a specialty recipe?

a relative of mine used to make homemade bread
and i never forgot the amazing taste. after recently
acquiring a bread maker from a very nice co-worker of mine,
i looked up some recipes and started with traditional
white bread. the results were wonderful!

what the heck have i been eating in those plastic bags
from the store?! this stuff is amazing! i love discovering
new things, and homemade bread is no exception  

(it even makes the butter taste twice as good!)

I love to bake and  enjoy baking bread from scratch and pies. I like to make my own version.

Reading all these posts about making home made bread is making me hungry and I think I am going to search online for some easy home made bread recipe tomorrow when I get some time. Wish I had some in the oven right now!

Had some pumpkin bread and apple bread last Thursday from a woman I call The Church Lady. I kept going back for more, she said it makes great French Toast as well.

I used to only make the occasional sweetbreads - like banana or zucchini.  But this year I've added cranberry nut bread to that list - yummy!

I also started making my own wheat bread this past summer.  When store bough bread upped to $3 in my area, I thought it was time to start trying to make my own just to cut down on costs.  I found the best, easiest honey wheat bread recipe on Allrecipies and have been making that once a month (one batch makes 3 loaves).  Best wheat bread ever!  I bought a loaf of store bought bread once about a month ago, and it tasted like air to me after eating the homemade bread.  Not only am I now saving money, but I'm eating healthier bread.  I also find I'm not eating as much bread since I switched over.

I taught one of my sisters how to make it and all of her kids love the wheat bread recipe too - she said she even had one who didn't like bread crust who will eat all of this homemade bread.


I'm guessing, as food costs continue to increase, people will probably start going back to making their own stuff - if for no other reason than keeping costs down.

I'm currently researching how to make homemade noodles now...   

Homemade noodles are great! Make my own wraps for wantons now too, which means I can use them for noodle soup, wantons or egg rolls. Try youtube and see what they have to say on the subject

About 5 years ago, we tried making some bread ourselves. It wasn't your typical bread like white or wheat though. I don't remember what it was called, but it was good. We even made it differently than how it was supposed to be done and it still turned out pretty good. It was an inconvenience to make though, so we haven't done it since.

sounds delicious.i buy mine already made

I make my own bread too, but not all the time.  I purchase bread from the bakery as well.  I can't remember the last time I ate a slice of so-called-bread from a grocery store.

I am a chef specializes in baking. My favorites breads are all French and Italian. I made French bread nearly every day until my husband and I started Keto. I have had to create low carb bread recipes now. I have made some good ones however there is still no substitute for a fresh loaf of French bread !
