Give us this day our daily bread – learning how to replace store bought bread at home easily.

Learn how to replace items that you currently purchase & make them at home

What’s one thing you can start making at home and no longer buy from the store?   BREAD!!! With a few simple ingredients you’ll making a  healthier choice and it will taste so much better. Plus you’ll be so pleased with yourself that your creating food at home with your hands, it’ll just feel so good.

 

Already baking bread at home? Pick something else- maybe a boxed item  your always buying. Or try your hand at SOURDOUGH!

Let’s talk about the Dough Baby!

I love storing my bread in a Breadbox, it helps reduce plastic out there plus it’s easy to wash.  My friend Nicole gave me one about a year ago and I use that thing daily.  Sometimes I bake to much then I’ll end up using a 2.5 gallon ziploc bag. Go big or go home right?

Also I love using my very old Kitchen Aid stand mixer, it just does a wonderful job on all the things. You could also knead the bread by hand and work those muscles though!

Here is the bread machine that I use and love.  It comes with great recipes! The butter roll recipe I use for garlic bread, rolls, hamburger buns, sliders, you name it! It is an investment so shop around.

Here are some delicious recipes either from my site or some of my favorites.  Need a Gluten Free Mix? Try Mine, I’ve used it in replace for lots of recipes and enjoy it.

Start printing and baking today my friend, you’ll be glad you did.

Take It Up A Notch:
Learn to Grind and  Mill your Own Flours

I buy Hard White Wheat Organic Berries from Azure Standard– best price around especially in bulk.  I tend to mix this about half and half from organic all purpose flour from Costco as the wheat can be a bit dense for me and the family. I’m also experimenting with Einkorn berries which I’m excited about. They are an ancient grain and lower in gluten.  The mill that I use is a Mockmill 100 and it works great.

  • Get Me The Plantain! Stat!

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Today I was removing seeds from a mammoth sunflower because everyone is doing that right now… right? Well, something VERY pokey got me right in the crook of my thumb where it bends. OUCH. I pulled it out and thought, eh, it’ll be fine. A few minutes later it had swollen…

  • I don’t trust next year’s garden.

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I have a confession. I don’t trust next year’s garden. I trust God. I just don’t trust my vegetables to cooperate. Case in point: one year my banana peppers went absolutely gangbusters. We had peppers coming out our ears. The next year? Zip. Zero. Zilch. Gardens are fickle little things. That’s…

  • You do not need 47 bottles under your sink

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Why do we need a different bottle for every single surface in the house? One for the counter. One for the mirror. One for the bathroom. One for the furniture. One for the dishwasher. And one mystery bottle shoved all the way in the back that nobody remembers buying. Your cleaning…

  • The weather changed… bring on the soup

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader The weather is changing around here, especially at night, and boy has it been moody! The clouds have been fabulous to watch—light, dark, constantly changing and bringing in these splashes of sunshine and darkness. It’s fabulous. And you know what else it means? SOUP SEASON.

  • The Secret My Messy Garden Is Holding

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Our holiday weekend was spent doing what holiday weekends apparently look like around here—processing chickens and canning broth. I found 14 quarts’ worth of broth hiding in the freezer, so I canned all of that just in time to make room for the chickens we processed on Sunday. This was our…

  • What’s taking over your kitchen counters?

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader What is taking over your kitchen counters right now? Zukes? Maters? Beans? Peppers? Herbs? Around here, it is a little bit of everything. The zucchini keeps coming, so we’re making creamy zucchini soup, zucchini spaghetti, chocolate zucchini cake, and shredding plenty for the freezer. The tomatoes are becoming fresh BLTs, roasted…
