Today I made up my mind that I would finally try my hand at bread from scratch. I've never had anyone to teach me any kitchen skills, so now as a newly-wed, I'm trying to learn it all on my own for our future family. The bread turned out wonderfully - as a novice cook, I was pretty darn surprised (or maybe it was pure luck lol). Anyhow, My husband LOVES it! Your recipes are amazing and your animals/farm makes me want my own :) In short, your farm life inspires me. Thank you! - Nicole Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful bread!

Forget store bought, this is wonderful. My 2 yr old son and husband love it. My chickens are upset because they were spoiled on bread before we got them (last month) and now they rarely get bread :) Each loaf has turned out perfect. For one batch, I did the second loaf as a cinnamon raisin, just used the pre-soaked/baking raisins. Thank you so much for this recipe! I’m a new bread baker and have made this twice so far.

Homemade bread that looks like......BREAD! I used less sugar, and the whey from ricotta as well. I might have used more flour by the time the kneading was done(kitchenaid, and went by feel). I immediately froze the rest of the whey in 1.5 cup packages... With a recipe like this that makes loaves like that-not a drop will be wasted! Thank you for the lovely reading and the beautiful bread! Holy carp! Homemade bread that looks like……BREAD! I used less sugar, and the whey from ricotta as well.

I wanted a recipe that would use the leftover whey from ricotta cheese and tried this one. OMG! It is delicious. I make two loaves every other week or so for my husband to use for sandwiches and for toast in the morning. I don't think my husband would ever go back to store-bought bread. He's hooked.

My husband loves buttermilk bread. And I use the powdered buttermilk for our pancake mix so I have lots of powdered buttermilk around. I'm trying to figure out how to make homemade buttermilk bread. And after I master that I might even sneak in some wheat. And to make the grandmother bread wheat do you just substitute wheat flour for the all-purpose? All right Suzanne I have a question for ya.
