I baked some bread yesterday. It turned out pretty good. I found a recipe here. It's called the no time bread. It might have taken me less time, but I didn't have all the tools I needed. For example. I don't own a Dutch oven. I had to use a pot and cross my fingers and hope it didn't burn up. Also, I don't have a mixer. I did all the mixing by hand, and that took some time. It got me to thinking about my grandma's mixer and wishing I had it. She had one that sat in the corner of her kitchen counter and I can still see it sitting there, in it's mixing glory. But - I have none. So out came the wooden spoon and my scrawny arms. I did, however, mix it in her yellow pyrex mixing bowl. That helped some. All in all, it was a faster baking bread, but not as fast had I had the mixer. Either way it turned out nice.
I talked to my mom on Skype while I was getting it all together and she told me to take a picture when it was done. Well, I was so excited to try it out that I forgot and didn't realize this until I had it half way sliced. So I shoved it back together. I think it even looks good sliced. That little corner that's missing was my taste test.
All in all, it was a good bread recipe. My pot didn't burn, I managed to mix without a mixer and it tasted pretty good. I'd say it was a success!
Nothing better than homemade bread fresh out of the oven with butter all over it! Looks good!
