Another first

There have always been some things I felt were beyond my many talents. (Ok stop laughing). In the last few years I've learned to make tea biscuits that do not taste or feel like hockey pucks, I've figured out that neat tight little roll of a perfect cinnamon bun, I've figured out how to fix countless house maintenance issues and I've learned how to dye my own wool.   But making bread has always seemed out of reach.  Some mystical kitchen magic only special people blessed by the baking gods can attain the perfect loaf with a slightly chewy yet crispy golden brown crust and soft fluffy insides.   Then I saw a recipe link on Facebook --- 4 ingredients, easy directions.  Should I dare be so bold as to try?  What did I have to lose? 3 cups of flour?  Just try it
Mix the four ingredients, cover the bowl and leave it overnight.   That's my kind of recipe -- mix and leave it. Into the oven and soon you get this
It sure looks pretty.  But how will it taste?  Chances are it can't be pretty AND tasty.  Or can it?
I slathered that piece in butter and it was incredible.  And it was so easy it was almost criminal.   http://www.itsalwaysautumn.com/2016/02/12/homemade-artisan-bread-easiest-bread-recipe-ever.html Try it

  1. That looks delicious. I always loved making breads but no yeast breads for me, so always trying new quick breads.

  6. Thanks for sharing. I printed the recipe as I admit to buying Boule' at the store from time to time. Would be even better homemade. Thanks.

  10. Oh, Kim, this looks so, so good. Maybe I can give this a try! I am not really a breadmaker, either. I can fix stew for 4000, but those little loaves of bread...nope. Very sad. LOL

  11. You beat me to it... I always wanted to try Artisan bread and watched Youtube on how it was made even. Congratulation on making the easiest kind of bread there is. Artisan bread was especially made for l*** bakers. I like quick and easy too.
    Hugs,
