I'm so happy today! Today I made and baked a bread using a new method and it came out really fabulous and was easy to make (mostly)!
Sooo...confession first...I'm a bit obsessed by bread baking (and eating!) and have, over the years, baked bread time and again. In the beginning my efforts resulted mostly in what I fondly call 'brick breads'...true story, I once almost broke a tooth foolishly bravely trying to eat a slice of one of my handmade 'brick breads'!
Wind forward to nowadays and many, many breads later and I can finally happily supply my little family with homemade yummy fragrant bread stuffs, yay! (Check out all the way down for more about our other yummilicious breads!) But the one thing that I could never be satisfied with was the making and baking of a basic white bread to use for, you know, basic things, like sandwiches or just a toast with some yummy butter. Previous attempts required too much work for so so results. Finally, however, I'm super pleased to announce that basic bread quest has been conquered! My family are so happy with it, I'm so happy with it! This Richard Bertinet White Bread is a bread that knocks it out of the ball park for flavor, has incredibly light super airy tender crumb, excellently crusty crust, it toasts like a dream and perhaps most surprisingly, this beautiful bread was pretty easy to achieve!
