National Homemade Bread Day - November 17th

My mother and grandmother maybe...but not me. Once I bought some yeast after fooling myself into thinking I would make my own bread. That never did happen and I had to throw the yeast away. LOL :D Just so much easier to buy it.

I made bread for years and years. Since being here after DH died? Maybe I've made it twice because nobody eats it. It's sooo good, especially right out of the oven and slathered with butter. And... I never used a bread machine. When they first came out, I got one that turned out to be defective. Exchanged it for another that also turned out to be defective. Returned it and never got another one.

Hey! Just remembered that I even won a blue ribbon at the county fair for my homemade bread🍞
 
I did it for years. I loved the process of doing it, and I loved the results.
I also loved eating the home-made breads that others made.

Now, I can no longer do it, and I couldn't eat it anyway, but I sure did love it, and I enjoyed learning to do it well. I'm glad I had that experience.

I'm going to try making this Turkish bazlama bread this evening:


It looks easy enough, but I'll screw it up somehow. :ROFLMAO:

This looks like an interesting recipe! Not sure if I would do it without any oil! Especially when kneading. They didn't even cook with oil. It does seem labor intensive, but I think it will be worth it. Let us know how it turned out!
 
When I was twelve, I was experiencing a certain phase where I wanted to make bread all the time. So I would experiment on different kinds of breads and my family loved it! We were eating homemade bread practically every day and the house would smell yummy, until... one day, for some reason, the bread didn't turn out. It was heavy when it came out of the oven, and I knew it had something to do with the yeast. I hadn't told anyone yet...and that night, we had visitors for dinner. My mother was raving about how good a baker I had become and they should try my bread...I cringed, and tried to make signals to my mom to stop complimenting me on the bread, but she didn't listen. She asked me to serve the bread. Out it went, slices and all, on the table with the rest of the dinner. Then I excused myself saying I had to do homework and rushed upstairs to my room, too embarrassed.

Afterward, my mother asked me, "What happened to the bread? Here you are making such good bread, and we may have jinxed it."

I stopped making bread after that. That's when one of my sisters decides to start baking cakes. So then we were eating different cakes for awhile. :)

Babes cooking bread. That's the key to a man's heart. :love:

I tried that bread recipe I posted above and it turned out okay, but it wasn't fluffy and squishy like the woman showed in the video. I ate some with a little honey and it was tasty. I've been drinking vodka and orange juice drinks since around 4:00, though, so my standards at this point are pretty low. :ROFLMAO:
