Making bread Liz?

I seen somewhere recently that you make your own bread? At least I think i seen that. Do you mind sharing?

Trish

I don't mind sharing a bit...while store bought bread seems to do a number on my gut, my own homemade bread does not.

Okay, the original recipe is here: Amish White Bread

Changes I made...one I make ONE loaf at a time not two.

I use bread flour not all purpose.

I cut the amount of sugar in at least half for the yeast rise...but use honey in the mix.

So I get my yeast going and once risen, I mix the oil, salt, and honey together then add the yeast.

I also butter my pan for the second rise.

Due to the cold weather, I don't get the rise mentioned in the recipe but it does rise. I have a proofing setting on my oven. I also put a hot pan of water under it as well as a wrung out hot towel on top for the first rise.

Sounds good. Not something I'm looking to make for now just marking some recipes to try later on.

Thanks,

Trish

I do it because I know what I am putting in my body...

Turns out I am not sensitive to gluten but I am sensitive to the preservatives used in commercial bread to make it shelf stable.

The funny thing is...my bread that I make lasts longer than the bread I would have bought in the store.

I use to make bread all the time and your right it does last longer plus it tastes so much better!! I don't know if bread bothers me or not I haven't tested much since surgery. Just gathering up some recipes for later on. I'm sure at some point I will want to try some bread.
