White Bread


I normally use my friend Susanna's bread recipe when baking, but decided to try something different over the weekend. I used this recipe from Allrecipes.com. My husband and daughter really liked it. I prefer Susanna's recipe.

It did make a pretty loaf, though.

A true work of art, Kelly! I miss baking bread. I made it all by hand for years, then used a bread machine for many years, but I stopped when the kids left home. There's nothing on earth that smells as good as fresh bread baking. I just may have to take it up again. Blessings!!

Why so much sugar. I wonder do they mean teaspoons. For all you are doing with the sugar is giving the yeast a start.

I have a bread maker, but I've never got it out of the box. :D

LOVE homemade bread! As long as someone else bakes it!! :)

It looks delicious.
It’s difficult to find half way decent bread over here. Home made is very rare too.
Even so, I think that Mrs S’s buns are rather nice.

All the best, Boonie

Yum, I bet it smelt and tasted just as delicious as it looks. I'm afraid we 'cheat' and use a breadmaker but with some great results as well.

Marion - I find kneading the dough very therapeutic. If I remember right, Ray liked the oatmeal bread I made. Try making it yourself!

Vince - Even though the recipe didn't say it was proofing the yeast with the sugar, I think that's exactly what the purpose was. It still didn't rise as quickly as I wanted, but my house might not have been warm enough.


Joey - Get that breadmaker out! I used one for quite a few years and always loved it!

Pamel - ..and you know the rare times we ever see each other anymore I'm always willing to make you some.

Boonie - It's a shame you can't find good bread. I'm glad you at least have Mrs. S's buns. I will politely not ask for details.
:)

Quid - Again, if I remember correctly...you liked the oatmeal bread, too. This loaf wasn't nearly as good.

Tracy - Even though I don't use a bread machine anymore, I certainly don't consider using one cheating. The end result can be just as tasty!
