Let Them Eat Bread

Bread is a highly sought after commodity in our house. Since our food budget has been slimmed down I thought I'd try this recipe I found online instead of buying our third loaf for the week. The beauty of the  recipe is that you make one big batch and the dough keeps in the fridge for up to 14 days. When you want a new loaf or rolls to go with dinner you just rip off a hunk of dough, let is rise and then bake as usual. This way you can make fresh bread every day without much effort. It's a beautiful thing. And it tastes good too. I figure I spent about $1.50 for the ingredients for this batch. The trick will be not eating it all in three days.
The finished product
15 minutes of work = 2 weeks of fresh bread

  1. We want to try a piece of that next time we visit. It looks good. How is it for sandwiches?

  2. This is an excellent sandwich bread Ann, moist and somewhat dense so it holds together well.

  3. I'm all about making your own bread. It's the best and always at hand if you plan ahead.
