Today I made bread! I used to make bread all the time, but life has become busier and I always seem to put it off. Not today, I took the five (yes that is right you only need five) ingredients and made two loaves of bread!
Making bread is not a difficult thing to do, just time consuming. The very first time I made bread was years and years ago. I took an evening class that was offered at Dixie College, this was a class that my mother thought would be a waste of time and money (my parents were helping me with some of the costs of school). In this class (the course title was Bread Making) I learned not only how to make white bread, but also banana bread, pumpkin bread, lemon bread, wheat bread and rolls. My roommates at the time loved this class, because they could help me eat my assignments! I never used "the dog ate my homework," but I could have used "my roommate ate my homework." But in all reality there was no homework, everything was in class and it was the best class! I wonder if they still offer it? After my mom ate some of my bread, she decided that this was well worth the time and money, it gave me a skill! That summer my parents didn't have to buy any bread at the store because I made bread at least once a week!
Today I didn't have a loaf pan to use, so I used a brownie pan (well, actually two)... and the loaves were really wide, but so good! My roommate and I ate almost an entire loaf ourselves, probably because she had some homemade strawberry jam and I had received a jar of fresh local honey from my visiting teacher! Maybe I'll make more tomorrow, it really isn't that hard to make and if you have the time it is so much fun!
