My First Loaf of Bread!!
So I joined my first cooking group HBinFive lead by Michelle of Big Black Dogs, we have to cook one of the recipes from The Heathy Bread in Five Minutes a Day its a great book written by a Dr. and a pastry chef, and so far so good, I made the master recipe and it worked!Because its a copyrighted book I am unable to share the recipe sorry....
Since I started blogging I have had so many kitchen firsts, its been so much fun, what are your firsts?
Mixing the dry ingredients, yeast, wholewheat flour, all purpose flour, salt, wheat gluten, and lukewarm water with a bread whisk, now this thing is cool, got it from King Arthur website. Jasmine wouldn't give it back to me today!
After leaving the dough for a few hours look how it rises!, you then put in fridge, and take a little bit for every loaf of bread
let it rest for 90 minutes
and bake baby!
oh this was a proud moment, it was delicious and healthy and RD approved!, but we finished the little loaf in one evening, I am now on number 3! so we need to learn portion control!
I think we were supposed to make 2 breads and crackers, but for me this is a good start. Follow the link to Big Black Dogs to see what everyone else made........
GO ON TRY IT IF I CAN MAKE IT SO CAN YOU!
Love
wow!! I'm so impressed, it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWOW and WOW! First time baking on a stone really worked out well! Gorgeous loaf of bread! You should be very proud!
ReplyDeleteBaking a loaf of bread without using a bread machine is one first I have yet to achieve. But it's on the list for 2010! This looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteLove them - actually shot a video with them and it's on their / my web site with the ingredients (you can embed through YouTube ). Has totally revolutionzed how I make bead!
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Welcome to bread baking club. I love making them by hand. Somehow I find it theraputic.
ReplyDeleteThat looks incredible. Congratulations on your first baked bread. I haven't baked in such a long time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first loaf of bread! It looks perfect on coffee I have been trying for a long time to bake my own bread but it was all unsuccessful. I hope one of these days, I would be able to copy your loaf of bread. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteSalute to you Rebecca! So impressed for your first loaf of bread. Good Job ;)
ReplyDeleteYou sure can be proud of yourself, dear, that's a wonderfully looking loaf of bread. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely. I want to master making bread this year. Well done on another first!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for homemade bread! Congrats too on your first one....looks perfect! You don't have to buy bread any more :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your fist loaf! Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first home made bread...they have turned out soo perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour first loaf of bread.. not fair that it looks so perfect!
ReplyDeleteI just have to get around to making my own bread. Yours looks so tasty! I have made a coffee cake with yeast but not much else. I need to not feel so intimidated by it!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the bread. It looks great!

ReplyDeleteThe first loaf is so successful! You have a talent!
ReplyDeleteMove over Sara Lee.... Rebecca, this loaf looks absolutely delicious! Crusty crust, soft warm texture... great with soups, sandwiches or just a slice with butter.
ReplyDeleteGreat job...
Congrats on your first loaf! It looks so easy! I think I was really excited the first time I made my first homemade dinner of real food for myself back in college and was surprised it tasted so good. =)
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!! It's such a rewarding feeling isn't it? You will never enjoy bread more than when you make it yourself.
ReplyDeletethank you everyone for your sweet comments it means so much to me,

Congrats on your first bread! I warn you that this is a slippery slope though...once you go homemade it is basically impossible to go back. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis is one I will definitely be making. I love fresh baked bread. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYour bread looks beautiful, congratulations! And your comment about portion control is so true . . .
ReplyDeleteIf you're like me, your first will not be your last!! There is nothing like the smell and taste of fresh-baked bread.

ReplyDeleteCoongrats on a first! I gave away my bread machine a year ago and never looked back. This is scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It ooks delicious. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOnce you have success at bread making, your hooked for life, nothing compares to a home made loaf. Congrats on your first many.
