HOT, HOMADE BREAD very easily...

PENNY that lives in THE COMFORTS OF HOME
made some of the BEST looking bread which she called
PAIN ORDINAIRE.
(Basic Bread)
*
Loving bread as I do, I just had to try it, too.
Penny didn't leave me a recipe so I googled
a recipe that sounded good....and easy...
and VERY few ingredients.
HER bread looked MUCH prettier
so I will beg her for that recipe..:))

I followed the recipe to a T..

Using my brand new BREAD HOOKS
that came with my new BLACK and DECKER
hand mixer.
OH HONEY...
The best, strongest, most heavy duty hand mixer, ever !
I love it....(i don't get out much)

IT DID....not sure it rose enuf....but,
it did rise..
had a great texture...
APRICOT jelly, jam, perserves
is probably my very favorite...
and when I can have it with
fresh, homemade bread...
well....
I'm just in heaven.

Thank you, ladies, for hosting.
I made home made bread today too! Yours looks so goopd and doesn't it smell so good? It makes the whole house smell like a bakery. I love it hot with fresh butter:>)
ReplyDeleteI can smell that luscious bread and my mouth is drooling! I have a bread machine but I haven't used it in a while. I used to make sourdough bread but that gets to be a hassle after a while. My weakness is bread, cookies and cake. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteWhen I say fresh homemade bread is one of my huge weaknesses I am not exaggerating! I can eat half a loaf by myself and not even know how it happened. This looks lucious fresh and toasted. It made a beautiful loaf.
ReplyDeleteYUMMO BJ. Now where is the recipe. This has "perfect breakfast" written all over it!
ReplyDeletexo Yvonne
Oh, my goodness! That looks fantastic. I can almost smell the bread. Yum! You asked about my drop cloth panels....I used those little rings with clips...couldn't have been easier! Linda
ReplyDeleteI love bread also! This looks wonderful. I need to make some this year!
ReplyDeleteThere is NOTHING on earth like the smell of "Homemade Bread"!!! Mmmm! I can SMELL IT!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Donna
Oh, I think I could live on bread alone if it were fresh baked. My grandmother made bread every week. I still remember the aroma. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a bread-eater! Haven't made homemade bread in many years but you've made me want to think about doing it again soon. Looks yummy...only I'd need strawberry jam!
ReplyDeleteBj, Give me a carbohydrate and I am one happy girl. Your bread looks wonderful. I don't think you can beat homemade bread right out of the oven.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sherry
BJ,
ReplyDeleteI was doing a baking marathon today - isn't baking wonderful? But I made cornbread, which I have an amazing reipe for.
Your bread looks delicious, as does the butter and preserves. Yummy.
You made my mouth water. So yummy
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks so good. I'm a carb addict and would probably hide in the closet with that loaf and, oh my goodness, apricot jam. You did good.
ReplyDeleteBJ, thanks so much for coming by my blog for a visit. 18 stockings???? Oh, my...how glorious. Do you fill them all? The stocking has always been my son's favorite...at 38 yrs. old, it still is:)
ReplyDeleteI promise to send it just as soon as I get back from my family holiday! I meant to send it before I left, but time got away from me...

Penny
p.s. your blog post is the only one I commented on while away...sneaking in a little blog time
Oh my that looks good and now I'm really hungry - whaaaaaaaaaa! I may have to try to make some tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI agree, hot homemade bread is the stuff dreams are made of. I love it with butter melting all over. Your bread looks really great.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I made bread and I always enjoyed doing it..what a shame that I stopped. Yours looks delicious and served with the apricot preserves...yum!!
ReplyDeleteWhen Penny emails her recipe, would you mind sharing?
XO,
Jane
After reading this post I am off to make bread; i used my bread machine to do the work and bake it in the oven. I think I could love on bread and be very happy; great photos!
ReplyDeletebj, I love this post. And I love that you put wo(man. When my dgt. was a baby for some unknown reason she always referred to God as she. I loved that. The bread looks great and the photos of the bread maker very cool
ReplyDeleteLove homemade bread and will eat it till I'm almost sick I'm so full, lol. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteWell, dear lady ... I am hopeless when it comes to baking bread. I leave that chore to son #1 when he comes to visit. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhh so heavenly looking home made bread!
ReplyDeleteAnd the rolled up magazine in the last pic..... Don't you love Betty White's answers, in the article? What a lucky [to be so healthy] and super lady, is she! :-)
Pretty Christmas-y look here on your blog today/Sun. -giggles- I say the day, 'cause I know you'll be changing it again soon. Fun!!!
I'm pretty much changing my header pic, daily. :-)
Good Grief! I forgot to holler at you, to rest and get both yourselves all well again!!! No more decorating, till you are all over the "ickiness." Auntie sezzzzzzzzzz! >,-)
ReplyDeleteWatermark mentioned by Blondie, in my Comments.... Ever notice some blogger's photos, have their name imprinted somewhere, on each and every one of their pics? [Or the name of their blog] That is supposed to mark them, as their own property/photos.
But like I said in my reply comment, who wants a "watermark" right smack-dab-in-the-middle of their photos? And if it's put down near the edge, it can be cropped off. And that defeats the purpose of bothering to put "your watermark/name" on your photos.
Some watermarks are very pale, and don't show up too much, in the middle of pics. But............
And thank you so much, for saying that you use a small artificial tree!!! Honestly, I am still not used to the quite small one, we just got. But it is soooooooooo much easier for 'Uncle A.'!!!!
But I really need to get to being content with it, myself. Thank you for saying you've done this change, already. Thank you. ..... Aren't I silly, to need to hear that someone else has done it, and for the same reasons? Silly me. Yes!
OK now! Go rest! 'Mr. Sweet' too! Rest and get all better! 'Cause Auntie sezzzzzzzzzzz!
>,-)
Home made bread is the best perfume!
ReplyDeleteHard to stop eating it though! And then we get more rolls than a bakery! :)
Wellllll great. I was just committed to dieting off my Thanksgiving festivities, and I clicked here.
ReplyDeleteNow, I want some homemade bread.
Actually, I'd settle for a slice of wonderbread right about now.
Just kidding.
It looks delicious.
Oh, this looks fabulous! I used to make bread all the time, but that's another activity that went by the wayside when I took up photography! There is almost nothing like the smell of baking bread on a cold wintry day. Apricot everything is my very favorite too, probably because I remember my mom making apricot jam from our one apricot tree when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell it from East Texas! Wish I could have a bite. I use to make wheat loaves when my girls were young.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Looks fantastic, especially with the jam! I bet your house smells fabulous! I could just imagine!
ReplyDeleteYum. I can imagine how the house smells when the bread is baking. And the apricot jam .... mouth is watering!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe best smell is bread baking. Warm with butter and a preserve is perfect. Take care:)
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks amazing BJ, wish I could inhale the scent from here.
ReplyDeleteI like to toast my bread and with preserves on the side.....heaven!
Judith
MMM. Looks so good. I am with you bread is definitely a food that one can live off. It is just so good.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I'm pretty sure that I could live on bread, too. Yours looks delicious! I'll have to do some Googling myself.
ReplyDeleteHey cute BJ!
ReplyDeleteAlways soooo fun stopping by to say hi. You make me smile
Carbs are my nemesis... soooo wonderful and yours looks too tempting.
Have a great holiday!
Claudia
Beautiful BJ, lokks very nice and taste!!!
ReplyDeleteBravoo!
Kisses and big regards.
Oh my! how wonderful is this post!! I can almost smell the aroma of fresh baked bread!!! Well done! Cathy
ReplyDeleteMorning BJ!
ReplyDeleteI am so behind in my blogging visits. Just wanted to stop in and say hi! Your homemade bread looks so good! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
Hugs,
Dena
Mmmmm. Yes, I would be quite happy with living on bread the rest of my life. It's one thing I just couldn't live without. Your's looks heavenly. Have a happy day! Twyla
ReplyDeleteMy problem is I TRY to live with it and it keeps putting inches on my hips! Ooooh, sugar, that looks sooooo good. I just love breads.
