Adventures in Bread Baking

I've never attempted to make 'real' bread in the states before...I've made banana bread & such, but never anything that includes yeast. So in honor of my tutors in Kaabong: Stella, Christine, and Jakob, today I was inspired to make my own whole wheat bread...

the ingredients...

the humble beginnings... (don't worry, I didn't try to cook the dough on the stove...)



the result of lots of aggression & a great arm workout...


the results of an amazing growing bacteria called yeast:


ready for the baking...



and wa-la! It's just that easy, folks! Who'd have thought I could bake bread? And its really good, too! Hooray!

  2. Wow! Looks very homey and delicious! I got a breadmaker at goodwill last summer that I haven't used yet - I think you just inspired me. Come visit and we can share bread!!

  3. Way to go! Ross and I just made some 'real' breads this weekend too. We should get together and make a bunch all at once sometime. Homemade bread is just soooo yummy.
