Do you make your own bread? Submitted by Tammy on Wed, 2008-07-09 15:01.
Hi Tammy, Since I can't eat yeast bread, I just come here and drool at the pictures on your blog. :) I do really miss it though. You don't use storebought yeast. Flour, water, sugar and salt make up a starter that "catches" wild yeast and allows it to grow in a warm environment. This link will be more helpful: http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm What about something like Soda Bread? Irish soda bread is good and you do not have to put raisins in it. ...however, I would say that I make most of our bread. I don't mind buying a loaf if I am having a stressful week, or when I had 25 people visiting from out of town, so I didn't vote always. We don't have a bread machine, and I don't think I want one taking up room in the kitchen. My husband takes a sandwich everyday for lunch, and prefers homemade bread. We purchased a wonderful knife from Cutco three years ago to slice our bread, and since then we haven't had to buy "sandwich" bread anymore. I make 4-6 loaves a week, with some fancier dessert things once or twice [cinnamon rolls, challah, etc]. Plus a pizza night, and whatever rolls we need. ...but this is a fairly new development in our home. Keeping up with the demand may be a challenge. because-- In the past 6 weeks--I have bought a LOT of bread-- however this week I found a recipe on Laines Letters that I love-- it is light and PERFECT for sandwiches!! So next time this question comes up I want to be able to say ALWAYS!! My fiancé bakes our gluten-free bread using Pamela's bread mix (sorghum-based). If I bake it, it never comes out as well. We use a Breadman bread maker. It is awesome as grilled cheese (we use a George Foreman to make "paninis" with fontina cheese (melts so well), red peppers, and spinach and also roast beef with spinach and mayo. Delicious!! Also, this bread is much cheaper, softer, and tastier than the gluten-free bread available in stores (almost all of which is frozen and shrunken). Occasionally in the summer I will buy a loaf. When the kitchen is over 30 degrees, and super humid, I am not turning on the oven! I try to bake enough on cool days to last, but if I run out, then I will buy some. I would love to make all our own bread, but I haven't reached that point yet. This week I attempted to make all of it, but this morning we used store bread for toast. :( It's only Thursday, and I've already made 6 loaves. This is getting to be quite time-consuming, but I like it! ....I think. Ask me again 50 loaves from now. :) Yes, we make our own bread. I'm a celiac and my guy is diabetic. My dad loves to make regular bread, so I grew up thinking it wasn't too weird, just difficult (for gluten-free). Post new comment |
