I made bread!

[Ohiogal]

Artisan bread .... so easy!

I am the kind of baker who could ruin a recipe from Bread Baking for Dummies, so I am really happy this came out. My guys ate the entire loaf.

5. Saved for later!

Looks divine and recipe looks easy!

[Ohiogal]

9. Try it, you'll like it!

[fierywoman]

6. Brava! Congrats! Remember, bread is not complicated and is very forgiving (unlike, for example,

making croissants!) Now go have fun. And enjoy. Oh, and if you want a crisp crust, put some boiling water in a baking dish on the rack under where the bread is baking -- you'll see ...!

[Ohiogal]

10. I will try that, thanks!

It was already a “crusty” bread, but I bet your tip will make it even better!

[fierywoman]

11. And don't be afraid of the breads with less yeast that rise over 2 days --

they taste even better!

[Ohiogal]

12. Thanks!

[LakeArenal]

13. Fresh baked bread is my drug of choice...

[Callalily]

23. Congratulations! And it looks super yummy!

There's nothing like home baked bread

[Ohiogal]

24. Thank you, I agree!

[NJCher]

25. Looks very tasty

and I don't know about Ohio, but in NJ a loaf of bread like that is at least $5, so also very cost-effective.

Hey, Ohiogal, I notice that you and I have the same countertops.

[Ohiogal]

32. If only

Having the same counter tops made my kitchen produce the same inspiring and delicious dishes yours does!

[samnsara]

26. Congrats!!! i have made that too and its way TOOOOOOO easy and then you HAVE to eat it all ;))

..Mother Earth News has that recipe and theres a whole cook book on this. OMG is it goood.

[Ohiogal]

38. There goes my low carb diet.

[TEB]

27. So happy for you

Is there enough for 2 labs 😉

[Ohiogal]

34. I don't know about 2 labs

but 3 men took care of the whole thing ... 🙂
Might have to make one for each lab.

[Backseat Driver]

28. LOL, I guess that was a tasty, beautiful loaf; very inspiring!

I knead that!

On edit: In my area, Bexley Market carries bulk locally grown milled grain flour I've used for breadmaking - no Gold Medal, King Arthur, or Bob's Red River.

33. Looks wonderful...

I’m in NE Ohio near Youngstown.... you gave me an idea.... they sell flour made here at this mill built in the mid 1800s, I’ve always wanted to check it out. Plus the park is worth a trip in the fall.

40. Now I got Ohio Wanderlust for sure! Will definitely put this on my list for

next year - the hard frost and windy conditions this weekend will end peak leaf color.

[Bayard]

29. Mmmmmm.......

I can just smell it.

[Ohiogal]

35. One of the best smells, IMHO

[Phoenix61]

30. I love fresh baked bread slathered with butter.

Looks beautiful!

[Ohiogal]

36. Real butter is essential!

[Frustratedlady]

31. Thanks for the recipe. I'm going to try it, this week. n/t

[Ohiogal]

37. Awesome!

[gurthang]

39. Beautiful

For your next challenge, you might try sourdough. I learned a lot from

[Ohiogal]

43. Whoa

I don't know if I'm ready for sourdough yet! But I do love it!

[MissMillie]

41. that looks great!

I've been making bread lately too, but I've been using a bread machine. I've had mixed results. The recipe that works best w/ my machine thus far is an oatmeal bread. It rises well, and has a great texture. It makes amazing toast.

[Ohiogal]

42. I love oatmeal bread

Especially homemade! So good with raspberry jam!!!

46. I would bake bread in a flour pot...

Soak the pot in water and then put the dough in and bake as usual.. The bread came out steamed.. I would use the top of the bread for dunking and sopping chores and the body of the bread would be for slicing.. worked out well and always a crowd pleaser..

[Ohiogal]

48. What a neat idea!

Thanks!

[mitch96]

50. Sometimes I have skills....... ;)

And the slices come out round... great for burgers etc.... As for the top I would make a cross so there were 4 individual easy to rip out pieces... Or you could cut it off at the flour pot top and then cut it on a cutting board... ymmv...

47. I tried this yesterday.

It could have risen longer but my time schedule and probably my house temperature were factors. My kids loved it and we ate it all with dinner, sopping up juices from the roasted chicken.

I will definitely make this again and again. My daughter in law wants to learn how !!

Thanks for the recipe.

[Ohiogal]

49. I am so glad you liked it!

I made some yesterday,too ... my 3 adult sons and my husband ate the whole thing.

It was sort of cool in my house, as well, but the dough rose anyway, and looked like it did in the recipe blog. I am beginning to think it’s almost foolproof.

You are so welcome!

54. You can adjust the rise time by how much yeast you use

If the bread rises too slowly for the temperature in your kitchen, using more yeast will reduce the time. The longer it takes for bread to rise, the more flavor it will develop. So if you have the time, let it go and let volume rather than time be your determining factor.

For commercial yeast and white flour, I like to allow for a rise of at least double and preferably triple the volume before shaping and proofing.

51. There's just something about the smell of bread baking

Thanks for this, Ohiogal.

[Ohiogal]

52. Awww...you're so welcome!

[AncientGeezer]

53. I burn water..I envy anyone that can cook someting that isn't from a microwave
