Good morning! Today I woke up and thought, "Today is a good day to bake some bread!" ha! ok, maybe not my very first thought, but it's something i haven't done in a long time. yeast bread, that is, quick breads like pumpkin bread or banana bread don't count, i make those every week.
Today's project is a loaf of whole wheat bread. Here's the recipe...
.. here are the ingredients....
and here's my bread machine.
(you didn't think i was actually going to mix it by hand and knead it and all that, did you?
ha! i'm not that much of a granola girl...)
My bread machine requires that you put in the wet ingredients first. So here we go: water, egg, butter...
...then i substituted honey for sugar cuz i love honey, yum!
....then the dry ingredients: bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and finally the yeast.
Choose "1" on the machine for a regular medium size loaf..
Press "start"....
And the waiting begins. 2 hours and 40 minutes seems like forever when that yummy warm yeasty bread smell starts wafting through the house....
...and the waiting is the hardest part...
then...beep!beep!beep!beep!beep!!! bread's done!!!
Open up the machine, careful it's hot...
...pull out that hot square loaf and PLUNK it down a cooling rack.
....to cool, of course..unless you're anything like me...
...and you have no patience, and you must slice into that light, fluffy, slightly crispy crust....
...slather it with butter and honey and....
nom nom nom nom nommmmmm...So Good!!!
Thanks for dropping by, hope you were inspired to do something creative today!!
