Bread bakingI dearly love to bake bread. I like to measure out the ingredients, use herbs from our garden, knead, shape the loaves, and especially I like to smell the freshly baked bread scent throughout the house. I always have several kinds of bread in the freezer, and we have homemade bread with most of our dinners. Here are some of the breads I've baked recently: Homemade breads ( photo / image / picture from marlingardener's Garden ) Starting from the 12 o'clock position, there is rye, Cuban, roasted sweet red pepper bread, pesto bread, parsley/onion bread, and French, with rosemary bread in the center. There is something very satisfying about chopping herbs, mixing the yeast and flour, kneading, and setting the dough to rise. I have a large wooden cutting board that I use for kneading, and usually leave the dough on the well-floured board with a damp cotton dish towel over it for the first rise. When it's cold outside, or when you are at loose ends and need something to do, or if you are feeling a trifle blue, there is nothing like cutting loose in the kitchen with a good bread recipe! It warms you up, gives a tangible result, and makes you feel better. Not to mention the great workout you get for your biceps! If you want any of the recipes, I'll gladly send it to you by private message. I just don't want to bore everyone with all the details of making these breads! With the holidays coming up I'll be making even more breads to give as Christmas presents. I've found that people are inundated with sweets at this time of year, but a good loaf of bread that they can pop in the freezer if they don't need it immediately, is always most welcome!

Ooh those look so appetising - I too love home baked bread. My compliments to you - I wish I could sink my teeth into that rosemary French loaf. It is not everyone that can create breads looking as good as yours.
Bread is one of my weaknesses. Looks divine!
They look so delicious! Login or register to leave a comment. |
