Brioche {a first attempt}

If brioche was your date you’d better show up at it’s house with flowers. You’d totally have to open the door for it always, and it would probably go to the bathroom when the bill arrived to make it clear you are the one to pay. This dough is a bit high maintenance; definitely more of a weekend bread. I had a date on Friday with some brioche dough. Yeah, yeah. The top got too…

French Bread

When I got my Taste of Home magazine in the mail, [Thanks, Sally!] this recipe caught my eye. It was probably because it said above the ingredients “you can be enjoying fresh bread in less than 2 hours!” That’s reason enough for me. After scanning the ingredients, I was excited to realize that I still had bread flour in the house from my bagel party last weekend. So there you go! It was destined. And in…

Pumpkin Yeast Bread

Lately I’ve been an awkward phone conversation ender. I will “ok” to your “alright then”. I don’t know why it’s happening, but I’m certain it’s me. I’m the one making the end of the conversation feel like it’s just the middle. If you’ve been victim to this. I apologize. Ok. Alright then. So… Hmmm. And insert awkward silence here………..Bye. There’s nothing awkward about this bread though. It is savory enough to dunk in soup and…

Potato Rolls

I ate two of these for breakfast today. When it comes down to it, I’d pick these rolls over just about anything. And if I end up to be the lucky one at a dinner party to snag that middle roll, I’ll do it. I can’t resist. You may remember this recipe from when I used this multi-talented dough to make 2 loaves of bread back in July. This might not be the end of…

Country White Bread

I really miss the Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan days. I really miss those worn to death purple suede ankle boots I had to throw out at the end of last winter. And I know for sure I’ll miss this bread as soon as it’s gone. Gone are the years of coming home from school to fresh bread topped with melty butter. But at least I can make it at home and eventually I’ll make memories…

Pita Bread

My pita bread has a mind of its own. It decided to bubble up all over the place and not just in the center. Next time I’m hoping they get the perfect pocket. I guess this time they are just trying out a new style. They want to be pita bread with a million cargo pockets. Who I am I to judge some fashion forward pita bread? Despite the lack of perfectly centered pockets, these…

Mom’s Honey Wheat Bread

One of my most favorite things in the entire world is the end piece of this bread right out of the oven. I’m far too impatient to wait long for it to cool. Another one of my favorite things is the smell of baking bread…and polka dots, of course. Bread is like cake to me. It tastes decadent with strawberry jam and some melted butter on top. My uncle suggests sprinkling it with brown sugar…
