My First Loaf of Bread

I decided it was time to try and make homemade bread.  I needed to conquer my fear of yeast!  I had a yummy soup cooking in the crockpot and thought it would be perfect paired with some yummy homemade French bread so I set out on my adventure!  In the end it wasn't too bad!



Of course I strolled around pinterest to find a recipe.  I finally settled on this one from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, which she says she got from The Sisters Cafe. I was intrigued with the cycle kneading with the mixer instead of by hand.  I didn't change anything from her original recipe, and it turned out great!



The only thing I will do next time is bake each loaf on their own cookie sheet to give them a bit more breathing room.



The crust is the perfect crispiness and the bread texture itself is amazing!  Perfect paired with a yummy soup!

  1. I'll have to try this version. I have a 30 minute baguette recipe I have used several times. I will have to pass that along to you.

    Are you going to eat both soon? The reason I ask is because when I make homemade bread, it only lasts a couple days before starting to mold.
