So this week has been a little boring on the food front, mainly because I have spent the last 5 days sick! But on Tuesday I made an amazing loaf of bread! The pictures do not do it justice!

I have struggled with bread for many years! My loaves were always small and dense. I ate them, but never enjoyed them. Part of the problem is that I always followed recipes for cheap, simple bread. Then around Thanksgiving I bought some yeast to make bread. I went back and forth on which recipe I would use. Then I noticed the packet had a recipe so I decided to go with that.
The first time I made it the loaf turned out small, but tasty. Then I made it again and really paid attention to the fact that it called for 5-8 minutes of knead time. I don't own a mixer, because I try to stay away from gadgets as much as possible, so for 10 minutes I beat up that ball of dough. And you know what it worked! The bread was perfect. So it is now my go to recipe!
