Warming Up The Kitchen - Bread Baking



It was about 46 degrees out this morning, so I'm baking bread today to warm everything up. I'm making a 'Cornbread-White Bread', great for French Toast or for Garlic Bread.

I've made my own bread for over 30 years, usually four loaves at a time. Dilly Bread is a favorite, with cottage cheese and dill weed, and I've got a wonderful recipe for Whole Wheat Bread, with molasses and honey, wheat germ, and a tad of buckwheat flour.

I'm holding the dough here, after I've greased it, ready to place in the oven to rise. That will take about an hour, then I'll shape the loaves and let it rise again.

Wish you were here - we'd have toast and coffee.
